I recently updated the theme to v1.4 and now my revslider is missing from the home page. I’ve spent over an hour going through the settings and can’t make any sense of this. The website is http://www.lgoconnor.com.

Help!

You are using a static page on the homepage.
Where was your RevSlider previously displayed? Was it part of the page content?

Sorry, I didn’t receive email notification that you had responded.

I am using revslider and it was part of the header, I very sure. I don’t think it was part of the page content since I never had to use shortcode to make the slider appear before.

I thought that manually adding revslider shortcode into the page (at top) would fix the issue, but the slider doesn’t display full-width and above the sidebar. Instead, the sidebar is on the right of the slider now. Before, the slider appeared ABOVE it, and was full-width (I know I kind of repeated myself. just trying to make it clear).

So I just removed the revslider shortcode. How do we fix the slider to make it appear as part of the header again?

I think I just figured out a temporary fix. I had to manually edit the header.php file and added php code to get the slider to display (<?php putRevSlider(“HomeSlider”,”homepage”) ?>) again. But I technically shouldn’t have had to do this however, since it wasn’t necessary before. And shouldn’t the theme natively support revslider?

It’s appearing now since editing the header file, but this issue appears to be a bug nonetheless…

Hi I have the same problem — no slider — since upgrading to 1.4.0.1, this with WordPress 4.4.2.
Worked before.

And yes, I have (had) a static front page, had to switch back to news to get the slider to working….

@Eriq, the theme does not use RevSlider, the theme is not bundled with RevSlider and it is not really the theme’s task to support (?) RevSlider. How and where you decide to include a slider in your site content is up to you (not the theme).

If you want to display content before the page itself that spans the full with of the content area plus sidebar, you can place widgets in the Above Content Widget Area.

Modifying theme files is not recommended as you will lose any changes on the next update (this could also be what happened when you updated before and lost the slider).

@Kent, that change is explained in the Tempera 1.4(.0.1) sticky post in the forum.
