Sydney theme
This documentation can help you replace the Sydney theme homepage slider with our slider.
Step 1
Go to the FTP of your website and create a child folder:
/wp-content/themes/sydney-child-theme/
Step 2
Create a style.css file in this folder:
/wp-content/themes/sydney-child-theme/style.css
and write this code in it:
/* Theme Name: Sydney child theme Template: sydney */ @import url('../sydney/style.css');
Step 3
Copy the header.php file from sydney into your folder:
From: /wp-content/themes/sydney/header.php
To: /wp-content/themes/sydney-child-theme/header.php
Step 4
Modify the code. This is how the end of the code looks like:
<?php do_action('sydney_after_header'); ?> <div class="sydney-hero-area"> <?php sydney_slider_template(); ?> <div class="header-image"> <?php sydney_header_overlay(); ?> <img class="header-inner" src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo esc_attr( get_custom_header()->width ); ?>" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>"> </div> <?php sydney_header_video(); ?> <?php do_action('sydney_inside_hero'); ?> </div> <?php do_action('sydney_after_hero'); ?> <div id="content" class="page-wrap"> <div class="container content-wrapper"> <div class="row">
Remove the entire sydney-hero-area div and use our slider's shortcode instead:
<?php do_action('sydney_after_header'); ?> <?php echo do_shortcode('[smartslider3 slider=8]'); ?> <?php do_action('sydney_after_hero'); ?> <div id="content" class="page-wrap"> <div class="container content-wrapper"> <div class="row">
Step 5
Activate your child theme.
