Dear support

NOW I have understood. NOW I have succeeded in making my front page work in the way I want it to 🙂

re question 2: With that knowledge, my wish for “<” and “>” are now obsolete.
re question 3: It now works with “no of slides” < 3 as well 😉

May I suggest that you add a hint somewhere in your documentation indicating that you should install the Reveal IDs plugin? For people like me who are slightly knowledgeable but not professional in WordPress, I guess that would be a big help.

Thank you + kind regards

Dear Support

Thanks for your prompt response. I have followed your instructions above until the last bullet point. I require the slider to appear on my home page only.

Something which is not yet clear to me, is how to find out the Post/Page ID.

Just our of curiousity, I put the number 1 to 5 under Ambition Pro Theme Options-> Page/Post Slider -> Featured Slider Post/Page # 1 (up to Post/Page 5).

I was positively surprised when the featured image of my page “Auftragsarbeiten” appeared on the home page, plus an excerpt of the article. It had a button “read more”. If clicked, that button would take me to the page (which itself does not show the featured picture, which is exactly what I want).

However, I do not understand, why it was that page (and no other) that now showed up on my home page.

From what I did, I think, it requires

a) that the page has a “featured image”. Without a featured image, nothing is displayed.

At this point, I had configured 5 slides (that was the number I used for the function “image slider” before).

However, on the homepage only the page “Auftragsarbeiten” (sorry for the long word) was displayed. Neither on the left or the right marging a “<” or a “>” appeared allowing my to scroll through the other slides. Which brings me to my

Question 1:
How do I tell which post has which ID? When I look at the page, I do not see a “page ID” anywhere?

Question 2:
Why are there no “>” and “<” displayed in order to scroll sideways?

Trying our further setting, I came across another observation: without changing any setting, except the setting for “no of slides”. I reduced this from 5 to 2, just to make it easier for me. Being in the Customizer section, the slider that was shown when I had configured 5 slides, disappeared and left me with my text-only home page. I increased the “no of slides” to 3, still no slide. Only when I changed it to 4 or higher, the slide “Auftragsarbeiten” was displayed.

Question 3:
Why is no slide displayed on my home page, unless I set the “no of slides” to 4 or higher?

I guess all questions are connected somehow, mainly because I do no know how to find out this strange Page/Post ID in the first place…

I have reverted the setting to “Image Slider” again, as I do not want my customers to see the result of “Page/Post slider” in the mean time. Should you require it in order to assist me further, I am happy to turn it back on.

Many thanks and kind regards
Marcus

Actually, I’d like to know that, too. I have played around with Ambition Pro, but I don’t quite understand the concept behind the concept of page/post slider. The only slider I succeeded in getting to work was the image slider.

What do you need to make the page/post slider work? An additional slider plugin or should it work out out of the box?

Thanks from my side as well 🙂
