Hello, Is it possible for me to: 1. Add an audio to the slider? 2. Add a video to the slider? If so could you please give guidance on the steps involved? Could you please also tell me how to create a link within a post? Thank you.
Hello, 1) This one is not possible without customization. 2) You can add YouTube video embed code in the Appearance > Theme options > Slider settings > First slider image "Could you please also tell me how to create a link within a post?" Please clarify this point little more. Thanks & Regards Nitesh Raghuwanshi
Dear Nitesh, Thank you for your assistance with these issues. It is much appreciated. 1. To clarify "How to create a link within a post" I want to know how to put "click here" in my post and then be able to send people to other parts of the website. 2. In regards to adding a YouTube video to the slider - if the video has audio will the audio play on my site? 3. I have had a few comments that the slider takes a minute or more to load. Is this my fault ie: a function of the Theme, the hosting? or the person's own web speed that is the problem? Thank you very much. Kind regards, Katie
Hello Katie, 1) To add link use code format given below. Code: <a href="REDIRECT LINK">REDIRECT TEXT</a> Add code in the post editor while publishing post. 2) Yes, Site will play that audio. 3) Please provide your website link. Thanks & Regards Nitesh Raghuwanshi
Hello Katie, 3) Got your site in another thread. Big images are the main reason behind slow loading of your slider. Fifth and sixth image of your slider are nearly of 2.5mb. Which are slowing down slider. And also first featured area image (LeireStraight.png) is also of 2.5 mb. Please optimize these images. It will improve loading speed. Thanks & Regards Nitesh Raghuwanshi
Hi Nitesh, Thank you for pinpointing the issue. I hate to be a dummy but how do I "optimize" the images? Thanks again Nitesh. Katie
