    Please instructions how to install the slider on the home page (with shortcode) instead of map.

    There is no shortcode for the listing slider, if you are asking for adding a different slider then, let us know.

    I will check and let you know.

    Alright, you can use the shortcodes as shown below in the header.php file of the theme.

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[your_shortcode]'); ?>

    Do let me know if you are unable to do this, we can do it for you.

    Just share your WordPress admin credentials at [email protected] along with this thread URL:

    WordPress site login URL:
    WordPress admin username:
    WordPress admin password:

    I will be glad to assist you,

    Warm Regards!

    Thanks, its just that on your homepage I saw the following code snippet in the page source:

    PHP:
    <?php echo do_shortcode("[huge_it_slider id='1']"); ?>
    and thought it was Huge-IT's slider?

    I'm going to look at both sliders anyway and try them out if I can.

    Hello Roger,

    This is not the correct code because the page is displayed in the Child Geocraft theme and setting is done in the parent theme. The correct code you see in the picture below.

    I hope this will be helpful.

    For optimal size photos I measured on a computer screen and trying out:

    - For slider I used dimensions 1200x400 px.

    - For a photo gallery of the business listing dimensions are 650x420 (this point I saw somewhere in the comments).

    - For photos in the ad text I use photographs width of 720 px.

    To optimize the amount of memory photos, I use the service: https://tinyjpg.com/
