Trouble Adding Revolution Slider to GeoCraft

The look and feel that I want for this site is to make the story content primary on the home page. I've tried to do this by using the Revolution Slider plugin three different ways.
1. Add it to the Homepage Widget area and set the GeoCraft setting to FrontPage On.
2. Add it to the Blog Page Widget and set the GeoCraft settings for the FrontPage to Off.
3. Add it to the Pages Widget and set the GeoCraft settings for the FrontPage to Off.

Ideally, I would like to showcase stories and businesses using my Revolution Slider on the home page with the Premium and New Listings below . My site is http://www.ieunderground.com

Thank you! Deanne

 

Hello,

Just go to front-page.php present in your theme directory and add code given below

Code:

<?php echo do_shortcode ('Enter Your Plugin Shortcode Here'); ?>

I hope it will help's you.

Unfortunately, I am not a coder. I am not sure how to do this. This is my guess: Go into my cpanel > file manager > public_html/wp-content/themes/geocrafttheme > front-page-hold.php.

If I go this direction, "front-page-hold.php" is the only "front-page.php" file I see in the directory. Please advise. Or, perhaps, I should use a different theme? However, I do not see the directory among your plugins that you offer. Would the short code then read like this?: <?php echo do_shortcode [rev_slider kenburnsexport]; ?>

Thank you!

I figured out what I needed to do; set the frontpage to "on". Having added the code to the "front-page.php" file, I wasn't sure where to add it. So, I experimented. And, it didn't break...Yea! However, the slider was too close to the listings I wanted to show, specifically, the GeoCraft heading, "Premium Business Listings". So, I looked up code to add white space and came across this: "echo "<span class='white-text'>. So, I added it below the slider short code and above this code: <!--Start Info bar-->. However, if you look at the site, www.ieunderground.com, some of the text of the code is showing below the slider and above the listings heading. I'm embarrassed to say I only have a minimal knowledge of manipulating php. Can you advise me as to how to fix this? Thank you!!

 

Nevermind...I just replaced the code I found with simply </br></br> and it worked just fine. Thank you for your help Gourav!
