    Hi Bill,

    I’ve just installed a cool fullscreen slider: https://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-full-width-background-slider/screenshots/

    Ideally I’d like to use it just on the top of the site, as seen here: http://www.fifteen.net/

    Is there a way to do this?

    There’s an option to deactivate the slider on any page. However, I think because the way your theme works, all pages are hard-wired to the home page and I can’t select which pages I’d like the slider on.

    There is an option for custom taxonomies, I had a play around but haven’t had any luck getting it to do what i’m after.

    If you can help point me in the right direction i’d be most grateful.

    Thanks,
    Christian.

    Hey Christian,

    You may be able to replace the home blocks with a slideshow. The home page is made up of several repeating blocks that are like this:

    
    		<?php if(of_get_option('section_image_1', $single = true) != ""){ ?>
    		
    			<style>
    			
    				div#one .picture-block {
    					height: <?php echo of_get_option('section_image_height_1'); ?>px;
    					background-image: url(<?php echo of_get_option('section_image_1'); ?>);  
    				}
    				
    			</style>
    			
    			<div class="picture-block"></div>
    			
    			<div class="mobile-picture-block">
    			
    				<img src="<?php echo of_get_option('section_image_1'); ?>" alt="" />
    			
    			</div>
    		
    		<?php } ?>
    

    Essentially you would replace each one of those with the slider that you’d like to use in its place. Hopefully the slider has some sort of template tag you can use or at least a shortcode that you can use to add it in there.

    In order to replace those blocks, it will have to be hard coded.

    If you need me to do that, I can give you a quote on what it would cost to implement it for you.

    Hi Bill,

    Thanks for the guidance, but I’d be well in way of my head if I attempted to try this, but do appreciate the code example.

    Please can you provide a quote.

    Thanks,
    Christian.

    Could I get you to email the plugin to support@organizedthemes.com? That way I can take a look at it and see how it’s made and if it’ll play nicely with what you’re wanting to do here.

    Thanks for sending over the slider. It looks like this one is made to create a slideshow out of the site (body) background. It doesn’t appear that it’s made for any other situation so it’s probably not the right one for replacing the home block images.

    I would go with the Soliloquy slider (https://wordpress.org/plugins/soliloquy-lite/) as the way to add in those slideshows like Jamie Oliver’s site has. I can roll it up into a child theme for you to use for $50. If you’d like to do that, you can purchase the customization at http://www.organizedthemes.com/themes/50-project/ .

    Just let me know,
    Bill
