    Hello, what is the best way to add a slider to the home page that is not pulling from posts. For example, is there a way for me to just put a post with a photo, a header and a button that links to a page? 

    Thanks,

    Christina

    Hi,

    Please go to Appearance → Customize → Featured → Genera: you can enable the Slider on the homepage here.

    You can read the document here: https://soledad.pencidesign.net/soledad-document/#featured_slider

    Thank you :)

    Hello again, sorry it's not working. I tried to use the Penci Slider 1 and nothing appeared. Tried Penci Slider 2 and nothing either. See screenshots. I created a slider in the Penci slider widget. I don't see Genera like you referred to, but I did follow the instructions in the link you sent. Thanks, Christina

    Hi,

    You need to click the Publish button, clear all the site cache then check again.

    Hello, I tried that and there is no header at all if I have Penci Slider 1 selected. Published, cleared cookies, refreshed and nothing. Even tried Penci Slider 2 and nothing either.

    The only way it works is if I select the "Enable slider on all pages" tab which puts the slider on every single page. Is something wrong with the theme functionality? See attached. I'm using WP Bakery - does that affect anything?

    I can't have the same slide on all pages, I just want it on my home page. Thanks.

    Hi,

    1. You need to turn on the Enable slider on all pages to display a slider,

    2. Please go to the page editor screen, you can show the slider on the page you want by selecting this option on Page Options like the screenshot below:

    I'm sorry I didn't explain myself. The ONLY page I want to display the Penci Slider is on the home page. 

    I DO NOT want the Penci Slider to display on any other page. 

    How do I publish the Penci Slider on the home page ONLY and NO other pages? 

    Thanks,

    Christina

    Ok, I figured it out! Thank you. It's only displaying on the home page only. . 

    But how do I change the size of the header in the Penci Slider? I need to make it larger as well as the button larger. And change the colours. 

    Thanks,

    Christina

    Hi,

    Please go to Appearance → Customize → Featured Slider: you can customize it at Font Sizes & Colors sections.

    Thank you, but I could not find how to change the background colour behind the title and how to change the button colour for Penci Slider. It didn't seem to be an option there.

    Hi,

    About the color you want to change, you need to go to the dashboard → Penci Slider: select the Slides you want to change then modify the Slide Settings like the screenshot below:

    If you want to change the background color, Please go to Appearance → Customize → Custom CSS then add the following custom CSS code:

    .pencislider-container .pencislider-content .pencislider-title span {
        background-color: #000;
    }

    Change #000 with the color code you want to display.

    The button size is based on the button font size.

    PenciDesign.
