thank you!
dtdolphinMemberOk - but where do I put any of this code?
thanks
dtdolphinMemberI know... after a while you loose track of all the combination of things you've tried... I'm making notes for future reference too, because I'm sure to forget.
dtdolphinMemberok this FINALLY worked for me, to get the home page slider looking like the demo, with a nicely spaced button….
1. Add the plugin Genesis - Responsive Slider
2. create a category called: slider
3. Create 3-5 pages or posts you want to show up in the slider on the home page , and put them under the category you just created 'slider'
***IMPORTANT these pages must start with text first - don't insert an image right off the top or it will drive you crazy
***IMPORTANT you need to add a 'more tag' into the page, on a separate line in order for the button to be spaced properly
almost there…..
4. go to Appearance > Widgets - and add the Genesis - Responsive Slider widget to the HomeSlider widget area
5. go to Genesis > Slider Settings - change the following to:
By Taxonomy and Terms > choose the category 'slider'
Display Post/Page Title inSlider? > check it (yes)
Display Content in Slider? > check it (yes)
Hide Title &Content on Mobile Devices > check it (yes)
Select one of the following: Display post content
More Text > Continue Reading (or what ever you want)
Limit content to > (leave it blank)
Slider Excerpt Width > 30
Excerpt Location > Top
Excerpt Location > Right
Save it.
All done!
That only took me all day….
***Other notes: if the text content on the slider is a mess, choose less of it by moving your 'more tag' on each page/post in the slider category.
Remember that the more tag has to be on it's own line for the button spacing to work.
