Hi - I'm new to BigFeature so apologies if I've missed something, but I can't find a solution!

I have set up a slider on each of my pages using the shortcode inserted at the top of each page. However, when I add widgets to the sidebar, I see that the sidebar doesn't start from below the slider, but at the top of it and therefore the sidebar widget content at the top of the sidebar is obscured by the slider images.

I set up the sliders using a main slider page and inserting the images on child pages. Images are 300px wide.

Any help in correcting the positioning of the sidebar would be much appreciated!

You can see the problem here: http://www.enableconsulting.ie/

Thanks,

Barry

use the "no sidebar" template for pages like that.

Watch this video tutorial for more info. and check out this article.

Hi - Thanks for the prompt reply.

The only issue is that I do need a sidebar for these pages. Is it just not possible to have a slider and a sidebar on the same page?

Thanks again.

you can set a width parameter for the slider shortcode (width="528").

There is a way to get the full width slider on the "default template" pages too, but it requires a small modification to the code. Email me if you want it.

At least I would if I could find your email address or PM you :)

Could you email the code to barry(removethis)mccabe at gmail dot com please?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi - Problem solved! Client doesn't like image stretching across full page width so have pulled it narrower away from sidebar.

Thanks for the help.

Hey there, would not mind having this code to have a sidebar and slider at full width. How do I get in touch with you to get it?

nm, I just sent you an email through themeforest.

that modification is now a part of the the theme. You can add a featurepage custom field to a page/post with the page id as value (the page that contains the slider shortcode).

First of all, thanks for all of the support on your theme, it has been great...

ok, I did this and it works, sort of.
The sidebar is showing up, but now, it is acting a bit wonky.

I have gone through this video (is it supposed to have audio?): http://www.vfxdude.com/cufon-uploader-and-slider/
I have also read through all of the bfslider documentation and deleted and re-created my slider before I posted this message.

Here is the page I am referencing: http://s316222589.onlinehome.us/stransmith/

I have my bfslider shortcode applied to a page set as my homepage through the reading settings(so, it is not set to the blog homepage). This page is set to the default template and I have set the featurepage custom field with the page id set as value as described above.

This is where it starts to get wonky in a couple of different ways...

1. The bfslider is no longer continuously looping in the correct way. The last slide repeats and then serves up a blank slide and instead of continuing the slide effect to the first frame, it just appears after the mystery blank slide.

2. It seems all of the slides in my slider re-appear as if they are posts below my slider.

Here is a link to screenshots of some of my current settings in case I might be missing something obvious to you.

Thanks for any guidance.

remove the slider shortcode from the home page and create a new page and add the shortcode there instead (or add it to the parent slider page), then add that page's ID in the custom field value of the home page.

btw, thank you for the illustration image, that saves me much time!

Hi,

I'm having an issue getting the slider to appear on my home page using the process above.

1. I created a new page with only the shortcode in.

2. Then I added that page's ID number to the custom field on the home page.

3.The home page pulls in the page but only as code, not the slider itself.

What am I doing wrong?

levingston, you must have the latest version of the theme for this to work (1.3.4.3).

Can I upgrade without effecting the rest of the site?

you will only lose changes done to the files, not any posts or settings. You can move file changes to a child theme. You have to re add the navigation items though, since this was changed in the latest version.
