I don’t know which choice you went with, but I also thought that you could use a slider plugin. I’d suggest meta slider.

It has many more features than the one built into your theme, but its compatibility per theme varies. When I say that I don’t mean it might not work, I’m sure it will. What I am saying is it might not extend from either side of the screen like your current theme, but have a set size instead.

If you decide to go with the vantage theme you’ll be using this plugin anyway.

I checked out the documentation for their premium theme here and it doesn’t look like there are many options for the slider at all.

If you have the premium version of the theme you could get support directly from them on their forums here but considering how little the documentation shows concerning the slider I don’t think you’ll find any other options. You could submit a request for the feature to be added in a future version if you really want to use this theme or have paid for it already, but I would suggest looking at some other themes with more options for now.

Here is a demo of the vantage theme, it seems to be closer to what your requesting, and it doesn’t look all too different than the Enigma theme you’re already using.

To Ketter1, we are happy to help but please make a new post for this issues since it is a new problem. Including as much background information as you can that might be relevant, such as who is hosting your website.

So I still don’t really know the answer, but I looked a little further into your site’s code. According to the html the featured image is still technically in your post, but its size is reduced to 0x0 pixels.

What I’m going to say next is just a guess, but maybe it’ll point you in the right direction.

It appears that when you don’t have a featured image, the text is the top content on the page. Not a problem. I think the reason you have a problem when you have a featured image that is 0x0 is the theme is assuming that there will be an image of at least 20px in height, but having it as 0x0 raises the text into the top bar or whatever its called.

To show you more about my <p> idea here is a link to the before and the after.

Look 2 or 3 lines above the line I have highlighted in the pictures and you’ll see the one concerning the thumbnail and how its technically still in the html of the page.

I can’t really think of a way to permanently fix this, sorry, but I can think of a work around.

Try using some html in your title for that example to include a blank paragraph to act as a spacer, that way your title moves down a line, which should be pretty insignificant on the webpage, but will hopefully fix the mobile issue. Like this maybe?

<p></p> Here is your title

Sorry if this doesn’t help, hopefully someone will come along with a better answer.

I kind of messed up when relaying the code, so here are the three things to search and replace for the demonstration.
animated bounceInRight
animated bounceInLeft
animated fadeIn

I’ve edited elements on my side and it does look like its possible. Do you use a plugin for this slider or is it part of the theme.

It may be under the option “carosel caption” or “carosel text”.

If you want to see what I saw go to your front page, press f12, ctrl-f to find, and search for animated bounceInRight, if you replace this with animated fadeIn then I think you get the result you want. This is only for the headline though, for the subheadline you have to search for ~animated bounceInLeft`.

Right now the best way to help you is for us to know if the slider is part of the theme(and what theme you are using) or if it is a plugin (and what plugin).

When I check your sample post I get an error saying the post is not found. I checked your last couple posts and they all look fine on mobile. Please make a new sample page if you’re still having a problem.

What esmi has said is correct. Just remember that if you use sub folders, you need to type them in the URL also.

Example: https://www.abc.com/subsite1 and https://www.abc.com/subsite2

This would be assume the sub folders you created are named “subsite1” and “subsite2”

In order to prevent confusion (for the user) you could always make three sites. One in the root folder with a link to each of the sub folders, that way if someone doesn’t know the sub folder names they don’t get lost.

You can check and see if you have any pop up blockers or extra security software (like Norton) preventing downloads. You can also try another browser.

I tried it on my side of the internet and everything seems to be working correctly.

I’m glad you found your solution. We appreciate you posted your solution, as it helps anyone with the same problem as you find possible answers.

Sorry no one was able to answer in the meantime. Don’t be afraid to make another post if you have any further issues.

No problem, we’re here to help.

Considering how you phrase your question I think you need to learn a few more things before getting started.

First and most importantly is that you need to “host” your website. You can do this from a dedicated server or from a personal computer, but you need to understand that either way the computer that is the host cannot change places without causing problems.

In order to host a website you need a couple services to be running on your computer.

If you are already lost by this point then the easiest thing to do is to to use https://wordpress.com/ to make your website. It will walk you through everything and is pretty simple.

If you are dead set on hosting it yourself and doing most of what wordpress.com does automatically yourself, then follow this tutorial. It will not be quick and easy. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress

I personally use Microsoft’s WPI Launcher for self hosted projects. It will not only install wordpress, but any prerequisites also. It may not be the best for an advanced project. But if you want to host a site and want it super easy, its the way to go.

Here’s a link:
https://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx

Once you run the .exe, go to the application tab and “add” wordpress, then click “install”. It will install not only wordpress but anything else your missing.

You may still need to enable IIS(the service that hosts http, google it or start another thread) when everything is done, and it doesn’t walk you through getting a domain name.

I see the wp-admin page also. Here is a picture as proof.

You should make your own post, but I will give you an answer anyway. With hostgator it can take up to 4 hours before your website is actually viewable after purchase. Considering you posted this 4 hours ago I’m guessing it should be good by now. This is assuming you bought the domain name through them at the same time. If that’s not the case please start your own thread.
