    Hi,

    Is it possible to have the slider on the homepage top section instead of the map without using another plugin?

    If not, any suggestions as to which plugin will work best without conflicts.

    Thanks

    Joe

    Hello, you can add any widget you want in the top section area, you could use this one

    Hi Simone,

    Thanks for your reply. I have tried HG slider and whilst its ok you cannot change the width of the images in the plugin.
    If I change the width of my site in GDF to say 960px, the header top section is not resized?
    There are only options to vary the content and sidebar widths but not the header section. The result is that my images are being stretched.

    Any ideas how to resize the top header section?

    Thanks

    Hi Joe,

    it’s not in header settings, but in Home settings.

    GD Home Top Section – Width* from Full Width to Standard.

    See image attached.

    Thx

    Hi paolo,

    Thanks for your help. I had already tried that without success and have now ditched the slider I was using, HG Slider, and installed Meta slider which works better.
    However, unless I want my site to be 100% wide which I don’t, any changes to the width are not working with widgets on a static front page. I have therefore made GD my homepage again and installed the slider into the header.php file. I managed to display the slider on the homepage only using this code in header.php
    ?php
    if (is_home() || is_front_page()) {
    echo do_shortcode(“[metaslider
    id=123]”); ; // replace 123 with your slideshow ID
    }
    ?

    I still cant get the navigation main menu bar to be any less than 100% wide no matter what I do to resize it. Any idea how to change the width of the menu?

    Thanks

    Joe
