I am an independent WordPress web consultant with 10 years of experience in WordPress theme installation, customization, administration, maintenance, support, documentation, troubleshooting and PSD/design to WP.
this is very helpful and a great start for me! i tried to use the same instructions for magazine pro. so that i could add a slider the same way but its showing up in the home page content area instead of at the top like this example. any tips?
thanks again!
Hi Sridhar,
Thank you for posting so many helpful tips about customizing Genesis. I have tried to use this tutorial, actually starting with the Minimum-Pro theme, to add a Royal Slider to both the Minimum and Parallax themes with success only with the Genesis Responsive Slider.
Is there something I’m missing in order to use this technique to add other sliders? My typical use is Royal Slider and Layer Slider plugins. The Royal Slider doesn’t stay within the container created by the widget area, but flows horizontally down the page.
I’m using a sandbox site, but could send you a url in private email if that helps.
Thanks again for all your time and hard work.
Warmest regards,
Mark
Hi, this is great! However, I am struggling to change the look of the excerpt. I’d like to amend it to something in between the excerpt from Outpost Pro (the transparent box) and Executive Pro (the left block). Whenever I am changing the CSS the CSS from the plugin is used rather than the custom CSS. I cannot remove the border and add other CSS values. It looks like html > body .slide-excerpt-border from the plugin CSS overrides all. Is there anything I need to change in addition? Many thanks!
Sweet! Thank you soooo much for these instructions. Worked like a charm! One question…I would like to remove the border around my slider image. I want my image to fill the entire length of the screen. The current size of my image & the settings in the slider is 1700 x 500. Thanks for any help!!! Again, thank you for the details!
Just pulled in the latest theme from StudioPress – Workstation, but wanted a full width slider rather than the two background images that the theme comes with.
Your instruction above works fine with Workstation as well as this posts Minimum Pro instruction.
As ever, great content Sridhar… please keep educating us!

Sorry, I commented under the wrong post. I am actually working on implementing the slider to Minimum Pro…
Do you want to use Genesis Responsive Slider or a third party one like Soliloquy?
I have added a Soliloquy slider using this method.
My question is, how to make that slider section, also parallax?
It just scrolls through like the mobile version.

Can you tell me if this will work with the new Cafe’ theme as well?
Is there a way to use this with Altitude Pro, but only as the first widget and maintain the paralax effect?
