If the slider plugin/widget allow to insert a widget or a shortcode, yes it is.

Thanks

wow, nice

1. what widget or shortcode would be used?

i found the following but i’m not sure how to isolate and use just the search box stuff as in the pic (sorta):

2. do you happen to know of any sliders (Revolution, etc) that allow shortcodes as you’ve mentioned?

this would be great 🙂

thanks

I guess you could use CSS to move the search up enough to make it look like it is on the slider, with a negative top margin. You will need to make sure that you target the pages with the slider only [not tested or tried].

i see what you mean, but might the approach mentioned by paolo be possible too?

if paolo’s suggestion could work, it sounds like i might not need to worry about the responsive code and stuff, but that it rather would work out of the box cuz the slider would already work with shortcodes?

which GD shortcode(s) would work?

any idea which image slider would work too?

super thanks, this would make an outstanding look for the site

Hi,

there is only 1 shortcode for the saerch form https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#search.

I have no idea if revolution slider or any other slider will help you. They are not our product and I never used them.

You should ask this questions to their authors.

Thanks

here’s another nice look with an image (but it’s not a slider, but still looks good) and the search stuff layered on top, the search boxes even become sticky:
