Slider using only the pictures I want

Activello

Hello,

I love this theme, but it appears I’m forced to use my blog post pictures for the slider. Can I change that so I can have only the pictures I want (like from my stored media)?

Also, I just want the slider to appear on the front page - not the posts page. Now it’s appearing on both.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @vbac,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your questions.

You can achieve this by displaying pages in the slider instead of posts by using the child theme colorlib-child-theme-38.zip shared in the following topic that contains custom code.

Also, I just want the slider to appear on the front page – not the posts page. Now it’s appearing on both.

By default it only displays on home page so could you please share me your site URL where it’s happening so that i can troubleshoot it?

Best Regards,
Movin

I tried uploading colorlib-child-theme-38.zip as a child theme directly through my Wordpress dashboard and activating it, but it was not pulling images that I set as “featured” on my pages. Is that how you do it - by making colorlib-child-theme-38.zip a child theme? Sorry, not really good with this.

My website is www.theelegantquill.com
That’s the front page that I want to just have the slider.
The slider is also coming on the blog page which will be www.theelegantquill.com/wedding-album
I do not want it to come up on the blog page.

Thank you for your help!

Actually you have to configure it as described in the following reply.

You can remove it from your blog page by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS

.blog .top-section {
    display: none;
}
