Add Revolution Slider to Buddypress "Sitewide Activity" Page

[tstrickland415]

I am looking for a way to add a Revolution Slider slide to the top of Buddypress’ “Sitewide Activity” page. The Activity page is already blank (I assume there’s some backend functionality generating the content of these pages), and when I add the shortcode nothing changes. I am not proficient in PHP, so if there’s something to add to the functions.php file, can someone please help. Thanks!

Hi, that page is generated by Buddypress. the templates are located in buddypress folder so you can edit templates and add the revslider shortcode by php like
<?php echo do_shortcode('[my_shortcode_here]');?>

Nice! Thank you! Now how would I target the Site-Wide activity page to add this shortcode? I’m afraid if I add it straight to buddypress’ core template files, they will be lost during update. How can I do this through either the bp-custom.php or my child theme’s function’s file?

What abe meant by buddypress folder is the buddypress folder in the kleo theme. Copy /kleo/buddypress/activity/index.php to your child theme using the same directory structure. Also, normally you’d do a ‘do_shortcode’, but rev slider has its own function which is putRevSlider.

COPY CODE

<?php putRevSlider("your-slider-name"); ?>
