Astra child theme

☝️ Note: Check our article about Astra Theme Slider and learn how you can publish your slider with Astra.

If you can't find any good positions with Astra settings, then follow this tutorial.

⚠️ Warning: To be able to follow the steps of this tutorial, you are required you to have coding knowledge. Regretfully we can't provide support for custom coding. If you can't achieve what you are looking for or if you're not sure how to follow the instructions, hire a developer. We are also unable to provide support for problems happening because of custom codes.

This documentation can help you put a slider under the top menu of the Astra theme.

1

Go to the FTP of your website and create a child folder

/wp-content/themes/astra-child-theme/

2

Create a style.css file in this folder

/wp-content/themes/astra-child-theme/style.css

and write this code in it:

/*
Theme Name: Astra child theme
Template: astra
*/
@import url('../astra/style.css');

3

Copy the header.php file from Astra into your folder

From: /wp-content/themes/astra/header.php

To: /wp-content/themes/astra-child-theme/>header.php

4

Modify the code

This is how the end of the code looks like:

<?php astra_header_before(); ?>
<?php astra_header(); ?>
<?php astra_header_after(); ?>
<?php astra_content_before(); ?>
<div id="content" class="site-content">
         <div class="ast-container">
         <?php astra_content_top(); ?>

Use our slider's shortcode under the header part:

<?php astra_header_before(); ?>
<?php astra_header(); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[smartslider3 slider=315]'); ?>
<?php astra_header_after(); ?>
<?php astra_content_before(); ?>
<div id="content" class="site-content">
        <div class="ast-container">
         <?php astra_content_top(); ?>
