Hi. I confess I’m a newbie here. I just installed the Unite theme in my empty wordpress. And I like it. Then I moved to configure a slider for the homepage, with no results.
I mean I followed these steps:
5. Setup Featured Slider For Homepage
Unite theme for image slider relies on CPT Bootstrap Carousel. It is a Bootstrap based slider which is specially styled for this theme, however, you can feel free to use any slider.
- Install CPT Bootstrap Carousel if you haven’t already.
- Add new Carousel via WordPress dashboard – Carousel – Add New.
- The main thing here is to properly set Title, Featured Image and Content itself as it will be shown in slider.
- You can create as many slides as you want and point them to any Post/Page or any other external resource by setting “Image URL” in the right side of the Carousel Edit Screen.
- Now copy paste this [image-carousel twbs=“3”] shortcode into any Post/Page to display all previously created slides.
- For mode advanced setup and multiple slider setup you can refer to Plugin Documentation.
In others words I installed the CPT bootstrap carousel and I followed the instruction provided, but I could not figure out how to make it work. I created the new carousel and added [image-carousel twbs=“3”] in the text editor of a page… nothing happens.
I read the documentation, but probably something important is given for granted or I’m really dumb. I found this scaring sentence: “The plugin assumes that you’re already using Bootstrap, so you need to load the Bootstrap javascript and CSS separately.”
So it not as simple as described in the above point number 5? Do I need to download others plugins?
Which one? How? Why?
Please, could someone provide clear, detailed, step by step instruction for a big noob such me on how to set up properly the slider in the home page of a “unite” theme?
Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.
