Revolution Slider in blog post

mshepanski · February 2020

In my website, rotarybelvoirwodonga.org.au , I want all pages to have a consistent appearance. There is a transparent main menu over a Revolution Slider with a picture of some scenery. Mostly this is working, but I cannot make it work on a page for an individual blog post, e.g. http://rotarybelvoirwodonga.org.au/the-first-post/ .

I selected my Revolution Slider using MuffinBuilder, in the "Media" section for that specific post. Obviously this is the wrong way to do it, because it produces a mess: the slider appears part-way down the page, and there is other stuff sitting behind the transparent main menu.

So what is the right way to do it? Ideally I would like to set it up just once, not once for each post.

Hello,

Sadly, you have to set it on every page.

The main blog page does not inherit slider from revolution slider.

Thanks

Thanks, but how do I set it on every page? To be clear, the main blog page is OK. It's the pages for individual posts that look wrong, e.g. http://rotarybelvoirwodonga.org.au/the-first-post/ .

You will have to set it on every page one by one, there is no option to set it for every post in one click.

Just select it through the "Slider | Revolution Slider" dropdown menu:

I understand that there is no option to set it for every post in one click.

I see your screenshot, and that is what I did. It produced the unattractive result that you can see at http://rotarybelvoirwodonga.org.au/the-first-post. As I said in the beginning, the slider appears part-way down the page, and there is other stuff sitting behind the transparent main menu.

This is the only way to achieve that.

It's 'replacing' the featured image which is displayed like that - there is no other way to make it stretch.

Thanks

OK, I understand that there is no way to make the slider appear behind the transparent main menu on the page that displays a single post. So I have removed the slider from the post. See http://rotarybelvoirwodonga.org.au/the-first-post/ . Good-bye slider.

But that page is still a mess, because of the transparent main menu. How can I get rid of the transparent menu on pages that display a single blog post? (Surely there must be some way, because every site that has a transparent main menu would have this problem.)

You can attach other header on certain pages, what you have to do, is a custom layout - you can find it on the wordpress dashboard.

Thanks Pablo. That got me close to a solution, and I could figure out the rest for myself.

For the benefit of others who may be looking for a solution to my exact problem, the solution is:

Create a new layout, as shown in Pablo's screenshot: https://prnt.sc/quew4c.
Go to Dashboard->BeTheme->Blog, Portfolio & Shop->Blog, then scroll down to SINGLE POST and enter your new layout's name in the "Layout ID" box.
