    Hi,

    I want several pages to have a custom slider on top. How to do this? By template? Couldn‘t find them in the backend.
    Thank you in advance for help.
    Regards,
    Lutz

    P.S.: I think this is controlled by templates. In your Youtube playlist I couldn‘t find a tutorial how to deal with templates in Soledad.

    Hi,

    Please go to the page editor screen → Page Options → General → Select Featured Slider/Featured Video to Display on Top of This Page.: select the style you want to show at this option.

    Hi, thank you.

    in your reply you described as far as I understand how to change the style of the slider. But I want something different:

    On subpage https://cst.lutzkasper.de/carola-private-page/ I want to have a different slider on top. I tried to show what I want to acheive in the image attached on thursday.

    On this subpage I want to

    - get rid of the slider shown be default (like on startpage https://cst.lutzkasper.de/) and
    - show the slider that I generated with „Elementor“ in subpage https://cst.lutzkasper.de/carola-private-page/

    And:
    https://cst.lutzkasper.de/carola-private-page/ shall be a template for other subpages
    - how to set up custom template pages?

    Thank you in advance for help.
    Regards,
    Lutz

    For this specific situation, please send me your WordPress admin account details through a PRIVATE message. I will then log in and create a demo page for your site.

    Hi.

    1. All the page templates are located in the wp-content/themes/soledad folder,

    2. If you want to insert the Elementor slider on the top, please go to the dashboard → Penci Blocks: create a new Block & edit it with the Elementor. Then copy the block shortcode and paste it into the "Revolution Slider Shortcode",

    3. If you want to customize the sidebar content, I recommend you should build a full page with the Elementor.

    Regards,
    PenciDesign.

    Hi, thank you.

    I did the 2 steps to get a custom slider on top of the page and run into 2 new issues:
    - in „Elementor“ I choosed the „Penci Custom Slider“. I can custumize anything, which is great. But the most important thing: insert images - no option found!
    - when I try to open my slider-„Penci Block“ again, I get an error (see attachment). „Click here for preview debug“ did not work and the page „Learn More“ was no help for me.

    Thank you in advance for help.
    Regards, Lutz

    P.S.: I would really appreciate an answer to my questions from the last post:
    The default template pages (see attachment in last post) ...
    - I cannot customize?
    - I cannot find them in the theme
    - is their individual content/ structure somewhere documentated?  (it‘s hard to have to try out every template).

    Best regards,
    Lutz

    Hi,

    1. I've checked the Penci Blocks content, it has already been edited with the Elementor properly without any issues:

    2. You can't edit the default page template by Soledad. Please create a new page template with the Elementor. (wp-content/themes/soledad/page-sidebar.php)

    Regards,
    PenciDesign.

    https://cst.lutzkasper.de/carola-private-page/

    Hi, thank you.
    Now for some reason the slider-„Penci Block“ was editable again. Ok.

    --

    But I still cannot import any image into the slider, as I wrote on Nov. 4th:
    - in „Elementor“ I used the „Penci Custom Slider“. I can custumize anything, which is great. But I miss the most important thing: insert images - no option found!

    Lutz

    Thank you. In case anybody else follows this thread I want to complete this instruction: [ since slider is not editable when you‘re in the page editing: go to > left sidebar menu > Penci Blocks > „Edit with Elementor“  > ]  ... Please expand the slide item settings ...

    Regards,
