Changing Images on Homepage Slider
Closed

  • SentryVII started the conversation

    I'm trying to change the homepage slider images that currently show the "1920x729" gray placeholder images. I've tried everything and I couldn't find a place to change them in wordpress. I'm using wordpress 4.9.x. I've spent nearly 4 hours straight trying to find out where I go inside of wordpress to change the images. I'm going nuts!

    Hi there,

    The slider image size is defined inside the functions.php file. You can change this size on 2 ways:

    1. By installing the child theme (located inside the full download package on ThemeForest) and overwrite the slider image size

    // Jumbotron Slider Sizes
    add_image_size( 'thelandscaper-home-slider-l', 1920, 730, true );
    add_image_size( 'thelandscaper-home-slider-m', 960, 320, true );
    add_image_size( 'thelandscaper-home-slider-s', 480, 160, true );
    

    2. By installing the Simple Image Sizes plugin. After activating navigate to Settings -> Media where you can change the following sizes:

    thelandscaper-home-slider-l
    thelandscaper-home-slider-m
    thelandscaper-home-slider-ls

    After the image size has been changes (no matter which way) you need to install the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin. Via Tools -> Regen. Thumbnails you can apply the new image size to the images by pressing the button on that page. After the generator is finished you can delete this plugin.

    Unfortunately this is cumbersome because it's how the WordPress core handle image sizes.

    If you have any questions please let me know.

    Best regards,

    Thank you barry; however, I think my question was misunderstood. I'm not trying to change the image size. I'm trying to change the images themselves. Where do I go to change the images displayed in the slider?

    To change slide images please navigate to the Pages tab and edit the Homepage. Below the page builder grid you will find the "Page Slider" metabox (screenshot).

    Please make sure the "Advanced Custom Fields PRO" plugin is installed and activated under the Plugins tab because it's required for the theme and the slider is built with that plugin.

    To replace the placeholder images just hover the image and click the X icon in the top right corner. A button will appear to add your own images.

    If you have any questions please let me know.

    Best regards,
    Barry
