Adding a new slider in real factory wordpress theme
A great choice of theme!
To add a new slider in the Real Factory WordPress theme, you'll need to follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the built-in slider module
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Widgets.
- Drag and drop the Slider widget into the desired widget area (e.g., Footer, Header, or Sidebar).
- Configure the slider settings by clicking on the Configure button next to the slider widget.
- In the Slider settings, you can choose the slider type (e.g., Nivo, Flex, or Responsive), set the slider width and height, and add your slides.
Method 2: Using a third-party slider plugin
- Install and activate a slider plugin like Meta Slider, Slider Revolution, or Soliloquy.
- Follow the plugin's instructions to create a new slider and add your slides.
- In the Real Factory theme, you'll need to add a custom widget area to display the slider. To do this:
- Navigate to Appearance > Widgets.
- Click on the Add a Widget button.
- Search for Custom HTML and drag it to the desired widget area.
- In the Custom HTML widget, add the following code to display the slider:
[slider id="your-slider-id"]
Replace
your-slider-id
with the actual ID of your slider created in the plugin.
Method 3: Using a custom code
- Create a new PHP file in the
wp-content/themes/real-factory/inc
directory (e.g.,custom-slider.php
). - Add the following code to the file:
<?php function real_factory_custom_slider() { // Add your slider code here // For example, using the Nivo Slider plugin: $slider = new NivoSlider(); $slider->setSliderWidth(800); $slider->setSliderHeight(400); $slider->setSliderImages(array( 'image1.jpg', 'image2.jpg', 'image3.jpg' )); echo $slider->getSliderHtml(); } add_action('real_factory_after_header', 'real_factory_custom_slider');
This code creates a custom slider using the Nivo Slider plugin and adds it to the page after the header.
Remember to replace the slider code with your own implementation and adjust the settings according to your needs.
I hope this helps you add a new slider to your Real Factory WordPress theme!
