The code in the identified topic did not work for me.
I am fairly new at this, so the comment to try thereafter is confusing to me:
“You can try to disable default slider in Appearance → Customize, then add an Enhanced Text Widget into the first row, and insert a shortcode of some slider (Meta Slider, Crelly Slider, etc.) as widget content.”
I would need a bit more instruction on how to apply this process if this indeed is the best route other than css code.
Thanks.
