Slider Trouble & A Bunch of Setup Questions

[MattAdams]

Hi,

I need a few questions answered and might need some help with the slider.

1. Do I really NEED bbPress?? I don’t want it. I have it turned off and I have installed Mingle Forum instead. It appears to be working without issue.

2. I can’t get the slider on home page working right and I know I followed everything in the video perfectly. It looks like the Slider is busted, and having never worked with a slider, I can’t figure out the settings. I would really like a video tutorial showing me how to do this please.

3. Also, I want to be able to put a video into the slider. Please show me how to do this.

4. I want to remove the menu from the home page, I do not want them showing up there. The Profile and Login/Logout Buttons are fine though.

5. How do I turn off comments off on pages where I don’t want them? I am using the Full-wiidth Page Template, No Sidebar template.

Thanks,

~Matt

Bump…

Hi, We will respond your questions today. There is no need to bump the topic. Like it says in site header, in weekends the response time is slower.

Hi,
1. You don’t need bbPress, it is optional just like any other plugin if you don’t need their functionality

2. We are releasing tomorrow an v.2.3 theme version which will include the updated Revolution slider 4.0.3 which has an easier way of importing the sliders, just click import and the slider is ready to use like on our demo. Let me know if it is ok to wait for the update

3. You should check Revolution slider documentation. Normally you add it from Add layer: video
http://themepunch.com/codecanyon/revolution_wp/documentation/#!/video_layers

4. You can add this css to hide the menu in Sweetdate – Styling options – Quick css

COPY CODE

.home .top-bar {
    display: none;
}

5. This is WordPress related. In page edit at the top of the screen click Screen options, check Discussion and a section will appear where you can uncheck the discussion area

1. Thank you for this. Inside it says it is “required”.

2. Are you doing a tutorial for the update? Whatever is done in your video doesn’t work.

3. Yeah, there is no good tutorial that easily explains this, and I’m having problems with getting the slider to work right. I add the image of the girl, and it’s huge, with no way to resize it. On top of that, I have no idea how to load the demo.

4. Ok, thanks for this. I was thinking more about this and is it possible to have a custom menu on this page only? Pages like “Reasons To Join” are good to leave there.

5. Thanks, done.

Hi,
You have some instructions on how to import the sliders in the main package in Demo content folder – Revslider.

With the new updated Revslider that will be included in v.2.3 you will just import a .zip and have the slider like on our demo.

We just add to the documentation new sections if it is the case.
What is not working from our video tutorial? It should work smoothly.

4. If you want a different menu you need a different solution. Something like this plugin: CE WP-Menu per Page

Cheers

Thank you for the tips with the slider, I finally got it working. I honestly think there should be a video tutorial for it, it wasn’t easy to follow.

1. In the comments here:

http://themeforest.net/item/sweet-date-more-than-a-wordpress-dating-theme/4994573/comments?filter=all&term=Matt+Adams&utf8=✓

I asked:

– I want to replace the search form with an AWeber form, how do I do that?
I was told:

Replace the do_action function with the code from the Aweber form

I guess I’m not doing this right. The box isn’t lined up the same, and it disappears behind the slider when the slider starts to work. Please let me know exactly what to take out and where to insert the HTML code.

<div class="twelve columns">
<div class="row">
<div class="five columns">
<?php do_action('kleo_bp_search_form', (sq_option('home_search_members', '1') ==1?true:false) ); ?> DO I TAKE THIS WHOLE LINE OUT?
</div>
</div><!--end row-->
</div><!--end twelve-->

Hi Matt,
In the newer version of Sweetdate we included revslider 4.1.1 which makes it really easy to import sliders. Just upload the exported .zip file included by us and all is there.

Give us a link to your site and the code that generates that form

1. Great
2. Your final codes should look like:

COPY CODE

<div class="twelve columns">
<div class="row">
<div class="five columns">
--BIG AWEBER CODE HERE--
</div>
</div><!--end row-->
</div><!--end twelve-->

That’s what I did and it doesn’t work.

That is because the form is under the slider. Add this CSS

COPY CODE

.revslider-head .just-after-header {
    margin-top: 150px;
    z-index: 1;
}

Actually, please disregard last response, I figured it out and it is working now.

[adam]

@mattadams put that css code in the quick css section wp-admin->sweetdate->styling options (bottom of the page)

[MattAdams]

Didn’t do that, added the CSS to the Aweber form code like this:

<div class="twelve columns">
<div class="row">
<div class="five columns">
<!-- AWeber Web Form Generator 3.0 -->
<style type="text/css">
.revslider-head .just-after-header {
margin-top: 150px;
z-index: 1;
}
#af-form-941856022 .af-body .af-textWrap{width:98%;display:block;float:none;}

And now it works.

ah ok great 🙂
