How to add images to the Slider

Take a look here for getting the slider setup – http://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-add-the-genesis-responsive-slider/ this is from the tutorials in the menu above. Since you are using a theme that is 1152px, you’ll probably want to set that as the width.

Once you add posts, or pages (whichever you decide in the slider settings) you would then need to add a featured image to that post or page. After that, just add the ID from that post or page to your slider settings.

You’ll also want to download and run the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin if the images need to be adjusted to fit the slider better.

You’ll still have to use a post or page….so just create a page and add your image. If you don’t want it to link to the post or page, they should have a setting at the bottom of the Slider Settings page that will let you turn it off.

It is plug and play, I’ve never had any issues with it….and I’m new to Genesis myself. You literally just plug in your content and it shows up in the widgets, slider, etc…..thats how all child themes work.

First, make sure you are using the correct plugin – Genesis Responsive Slider – http://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-responsive-slider/

The option to “not have it linked” is there, you have to actually look in the Slider Settings page. Here is what it looks like – http://i.imgur.com/OTRMMpI.png

I’m guessing you both haven’t looked at the tutorials and documentation that Wes created? He went a few steps ahead of the average Genesis developer and created the exact code from the demo and added the tutorial and documentation on how to use it. This can be found here – http://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/ at the top of the Epik Forum. It’s the highlighted sticky posts at the very top. That shows you exactly how to do everything featured in the demo. He also created a few General tutorials in the Tutorials section in the menu above – http://appfinite.com/tutorials/

Here’s a post where others are talking about it (if you’re bored and want to read) – https://plus.google.com/u/2/112717356760836886583/posts/V8fgv82UYZo As you can see it is much appreciated….it even helped me and I’m still new to all of this 🙂

For the demo/zip thing that you asked about……there isn’t an easy way to do that just yet, and that’s due to the Genesis Framework (not the child theme). The only thing StudioPress/Genesis has are XML files, but they only add demo posts/pages/categories/content…..but not the widget content. If you look in your theme files, you’ll see the XML file. Use that to upload all of the content pages/posts etc that you mentioned. This is actually a WordPress Import feature. Currently I haven’t seen any way to export/import widget content from Genesis themes (other than Backupbuddy). There could be some plugins that will do it, but I haven’t seen it just yet. Most people prefer to start with a blank theme so they can add the content they want rather than spending a lot of time removing all of the things they don’t need. But if you’re trying to learn how to do what Wes did in the demo, you can get the exact code from the links above, and that should be more than enough to get you going.

Hope this helps.
