Hi,
Slider images disappeared after update to 1.7.2 and I am struggling to get the slider up and running again. Also the images folder does no longer contain a ‘gallery’ folder, which used to hold the slider images. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Christian

@xtian: Hello Christian,
The default slider images had to be removed from the theme due to licensing issues. Can you please post in your site URL so that I can look into the issue?

Kind Regards,
Skandha

Hi Skandha,
Thanks for looking into this!
Sure thing, the site URL is https://www.suburbandivas.de

Skandha,
Just as a follow up: I’m not using the default slider images provided by the theme but replaced them with my own photos. Until the recent update this had worked like a charm.
Thanks,
Christian

@xtian: Hello Christian,
I checked your site but you do seem to be using the default demo slider that comes with the theme. Can you please check again?

Kind Regards,
Skandha

Hi Skandha,
Yes, I do use the standard slider but I have replaced the standard images.
Thanks,

Hi Skandha,
Thanks for looking into this and for solving the problem, which was not an issue of the theme but clearly my own mistake!

For anyone planning to use photos in the slider, it’s way more easy than the workaround I had used manually replacing the images in the demo slider. All you have to do is build a page for each of your slider pics and then:

Go to => Appearance => Customize => Featured Slider => Select Slider Type as Page => Select the pages and Publish

Thanks again for your great support for what is a free (!) theme!

Best,
Christian
