Hey Sakin!
That plugin does the job pretty god except for one thing.
I followed your instructions. Still the featured slider displays a little grey box in the video Thumbnail as if it wants to print the post title. If I ad a post title it prints the title “over” the video thumbnail.
How could one hide this box?
Thanks in advance !
Regards,
Heinz
Hi Bram,
There is no option to change the slider background color as it’s coming from Script. The best option is to use the larger image or stretch the image with Custom CSS.
If you want to stretch the image then you can add the following CSS in the “Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS” box:
#main-slider img { width: 100%; }
But if you want to change the background color then add the following CSS in the “Appearance => Customize => Additional CSS” box:
.featured-slider .hentry { background-color: #5d91bf !important; }

Sakin
Hello,
Since quite some time ago, I had observed that the background colour next to the featured slider had become black instead of the blue colour I am using for mostly the whole website.
Would it be possible to help how I can modify this again please?
My website is: https://www.chirosintbartel.be/
The issue here reported is directly visible on top of my main page.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Bram
Hi Heinz,
There is no option to replace the slider with the Video. So for this, you need to build a child theme and add a custom function.
There is also a plugin called Catch Featured Video Pro which will add an option to upload a video instead of a Featured Image on a Page/post. After installing this plugin, you can add a YouTube video URL to the page/post “Catch Featured Video Pro URL box”. Finally, go to “Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Slider Options” and select Slider type as “Page/Post” and then select the page/post that has a video URL.

Hi Team –
For the Chique Pro theme, the home page Featured Slider looks great on Desktop. But if you look at it in mobile, the 16:9 ratio is cut and the images are not fully displayed. They seemed design to display vertically opposed to horizontally. This makes the images look incorrectly framed. Is there a way to have it displayed horizontally at full width?
Here’s the site: https://www.melissahassey.com/
Thanks!

@btcbtc : Please post in your site URL so that I can check for issues on your site and provide you the required fix. The above css code should fix the height issue for the featured slider.

I’m assuming I’ll need to add code to the functions.php file.
What code precisely?
Hello Sakin,
My homepage uses the featured slider. Below it is the static page which is one column. The full smaller image is in the column at the bottom-not shown in the photo but a crop appears full height to the left of the column, see link below

Hello All,
I have checked your instructions and theme FAQs. The user Randall Hartman seems to have had the same issue but the solution was not included in the dialogue. I am using the latest theme version.
On my homepage beneath the featured slider I am using a single column layout. The image at the bottom of the column is replicated to the left of the column. The replicated image is a narrow centre crop at full page height.
When I go to customising>theme options>hero content, which is enabled on the homepage, the type is page, page is homepage. Using the content alignment button I can put the replicated image to the left or right of the column.
When I hover over the block it appears to be a hyperlink. Using Inspect element in the browser it is called the ‘cover link.
here is the code line;
I am using Safari but get the same issue in a Chrome based browser and when using an In Private window.
The site is still being developed but I can send screenshots for clarification.
Many Thanks
Gary
@levphoto : You may disable the header media and enable the Featured slider from theme options.
Login to your WordPress admin section. Go to Appearance => Customize => Header Media
Under Enable on : Select disabled and click on publish.
To enable the Featured slider. Go to Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Featured Slider
Under Enable on : Select Homepage/FrontPage. Set the desired number of slides and select the pages containing the slider images.
let me know if you are still having issues.

Oh, thx for the quick answer but ‘what a pity’. There are many Slider Plugins outside, but the Mainproblem is, that I never can get a Slider or Headerimage above the top Mainmenue. The MainMenue and the Featured Content Menue are not in the page but the sliders call have to be positioned into the page. I would be very happy if someone has an idea for this.

@tikaram : Thank you for your help!
Also have a question about the Featured Slider. How can I change the image size on tablet and mobile version?
It’s super small.
Actually I would like to have a lay-out which will look the same as the desktop version:
– Featured Slider
– Featured Content: 3 columns next to each other.
And the tagline is not visible on tablet and mobile version.
Hope you can help, thanks.
I bought the solid construction pro for https://usbolsburg.com (Union State Bank in Olsburg, KS). I work for Modern Banking Systems and part of my job is to develop websites for our bank customers. I bought this particular theme because it had a larger homepage slider. The slider is named “Demo”. There is no way to access it or update it with the bank’s images. The town of Olsburg is famous for their dala horses and barn quilts. The bank would like their website to have a community feel and the larger slider would be perfect. How do I make my images larger like the slider you show when I picked this new theme? Thank you.

Could you possibly put the css
“.featured-slider .slides { background-color: #ffffff !important; }”
into the theme options somehow in next update?
Just so we don’t have to do it manually by adding custom css 🙂
@florent-bruchezmac-com : Login to your WordPress admin section. Go to Appearance => Customize
In the customizer panel you can find featured slider just below Theme Options. Click on the Featured slider option and add sliders as desired. Let me know if you are still having issues locating featured slider option.

Hi ☺️ !
Sorry for the stupid question, but where is the Featured Slider? I downloaded the Pro 5.1.8 version from my account, but I can’t find the settings related to the slider that exists in the documentation or on this forum. 😢
How stupid am I, then? 😂
Thanks!
@steveide : You can make use of the featured slider section that is included in the theme. You can link a single slider with one URL but there is no option to link multiple links from a single slider image. I recommend you to look for a suitable plugin that fits your requirements. Let me know if you have any theme related issues.

@accucomm : I suggest you to update the theme to the latest version as it contains security updates and bug fixes. The updated version of the theme supports a feature where you can sort the positions of sections of your Homepage as desired.
After updating the theme. Login to your WordPress admin section. Go to Appearance => Customize => Theme Options => Sections Sorter
Drag and drop the primary menu below featured slider and you will get the result as desired.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
