Sorted this child theme out – shame about the page plug in not working though – may see if there is another that will work

OK, create a functions.php file in your child theme. Then, add this code into that file:

<?php

/**

* Make slider lists recent pages instead of recent posts

*/

function my_slider_post_types( $types ) {

global $graphene_settings;

if ( $graphene_settings == ‘latest_posts’ ) {

$types = array( ‘page’ );

}

return $types;

}

add_filter( ‘graphene_slider_post_type’, ‘my_slider_post_types’ );

Thanks Syahir , I am right that even though it says ‘latest_posts’ it will do latest pages?

Right I think I have set up the child theme as instructed . How do I go about creating the unique slider which shows recent pages instead of posts?

Thanks but then how do I make the slider read recent pages and not post which is what I am trying to achieve?

We can guide you on that after you have the child theme set up.

Ok thanks I will set this up hopefully tonight

I would like the built in slider for this theme to work with pages in the same way it does posts …

You can do this, but will need a child theme.

… the current slider seems to cause problems with the drop down menus as when a menu overlaps the slider the menu closes

This issue has been fixed quite a while ago. Which version of the theme are you using? See the demo site for how it’s working.

thanks for coming back to me on this Syahir , how do I go about creating a “child theme” do achieve this?

As for the drop down problem, the slider I am referring to is not the one that comes with the theme but the other plug in I am using which I assume is why it happens .

My version of the theme should be the latest as I update it whenever there is an update to apply. The version is 1.8.4

What does the Simple Paginated Posts plugin do?

In addition to using the <!–nextpage–> tag in pages to create page breaks , this plugin gives a table of contents at the bottom of each page with headings created by using another tag for each page e.g. [spp title=”page 1″] this clearly has then caused problems for the theme getting the title of the first/main page.

I have deactivated it now and all is well. I may just stick with the standard page tag <!–nextpage–>

I would like the built in slider for this theme to work with pages in the same way it does posts as well as the current slider seems to cause problems with the drop down menus as when a menu overlaps the slider the menu closes

Thanks

Kenneth John Odle – Started looking at the links where they showed as just (no title) I found that these are articles with the Simple Paginated Posts plugin being used and t after disabling it the problem cured itself.

Only thing now is that I need a plugin that will work with this theme. Back to hunting around for another one hay ho.

Thanks for all the help

Sorry, I thought you said you were using a child theme. In that case, what are your permalink settings? Have you edited any theme files? Have you tried disabling plugins to rule out a plugin issue.

Yes as mentioned it is off line as I am currently working on getting it all set up and finding this issue I didn’t want to go live with it until that time. Do you have any ideas on what it might be?

It is often difficult to diagnose some things without seeing them live. Sometimes you just have to live with the ugly until things get sorted.

As mentioned , the permalinks are set to postname but when I discovered this I set them back to default to see if that made any difference which it didn’t so I set them back to postname .

The plugins I have are :

Simple Paginated Posts

Site Offline or Coming Soon

and ..

WP Parallax Content Slider

I was trying to use the slider as part of this theme but it didn’t give me the option of recent pages only recent posts and that meant that I would have to specify pages manually

Thanks

What files do you have in your child theme?

If I understand you question correctly there is only one theme, unless you mean the child page/theme that lists the pages. All there is , is an image to represent the parent section, then for each of the pages listed there is a featured image. This is the same for all parent sections of the site. The problem I have seems to appear under three of the four sections/parents pages. I cannot see why this is the case other than the section without the program has less child pages under it which are three at the most for the moment where as the other pages have more than this.

** UPDATE **

Removed the featured image from one of these articles but it still has not displayed the titled

Thanks
