Hi.
Trying to place a slidedeck function on the front page – to sit below the header – but still can’t work out where to put the code for a custom widget for the front page to achieve this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have experimented adding code to the index.php in both the standard buddypress theme and the columns theme, but to no avail.
Can any experienced users please help me as I really want to have a video on the front page.
Cheers all.

Open up your chlid theme’s functions.php file and replace this:
`function bpcol_register_sidebars() {
register_sidebar(
array(
‘id’ => ‘left sidebar’,
‘name’ => ‘Left Sidebar’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘
)
);
}`
with
`function bpcol_register_sidebars() {
register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘left sidebar’,
‘name’ => ‘Left Sidebar’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘
) );
register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘homepage-widget’,
‘name’ => ‘Home Page Widget’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘
) );
}`

Then open up index.php of the chid theme and add the following between “ and `

`
`

`

Save both files and upload to the child theme folder in server.

Thank you so much. I never would have worked that out.
Big grin
