    Hi there,

    Is it possible to show a video (youtube) in place of the 7 sliders on the homepage ?
    If yes, how to do it ?

    Thanks!
    Steven

    Just go to

    Appearance -> Theme Options ->Top Feature Settings -> Slider Settings

    And put the embed code of the video to the the "First Slider Image" text box and save the settings.

    It will show the video in the home page, and you have to adjust the width and height of the video which you can adjust in the embed code of the video.

    When you go to the YouTube page and open the particular link it will give you the embed code of the video, that embed code should be entered in the text box.

    When you click on the share button below the video you will find the embed code there.

    Please have a look at www.tvkinstructie.nl and play the video.

    Is there a way to fill in for the black background or have the screen area filled by the video image in a more attractive way ?

    Thanks

    Unfortunately there isn't a way to do that with our theme unless you custom code something up. Sorry.

    If this isn't something you're able to do then you would need to hire a developer for this.

    Take care.
