Hi,

1. The current version of Soledad doesn't add the Category Ads and Slider options. We're currently in the development of this feature.

2. All the codes I've added to your site are custom customization, so everything will be lost after you've updated to the newest version.

Regards,
PenciDesign.

Hi, we have updated to the newest theme from Soledad 8.0.7 where we have installed the child theme also.

When I have added the code in the description below as you recommended, we have the issue that in every update the slider disappears and we need to add manually again.

Can you please see into this issue

Kind regards.

Hi,

I've updated this feature on your site. Now each category has 2 options:

  • Category In-Feed Ads
  • Top Banner Ads Code

You can put HTML/Shortcode in this area.

would be fantastic if we could get that, as it is important to many of our customers in different categories. and also to our bussiness.

Hi,

The In-feed Ads Code/HTML for each category needs to modify many theme files, so I'll forward your request to the developer team and consider adding this in the future update.

Hi,

If you want to display a featured slider on the specific category, please follow this instruction:

1. Install ACF Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/, then import the attachment file (extract and use .json file).

2. Go to Appearance > Theme Editor, select Soledad theme, then open file functions.php, go to line 4115, and find:

$order   = get_theme_mod('featured_slider_order');

Add immediately after this line:

// custom functions for user
if (is_category() && function_exists('get_field')) {
    $cat_term = get_queried_object();
    $show_post = get_field('baxivanos_featured_slider_cat',$cat_term);
    if ( $show_post ) {
        $featured_args['cat'] = $cat_term->term_id;
    }
}
// end custom functions

3. Continue to select header.php file to edit, and find:

if( is_home() || get_theme_mod( 'penci_featured_slider_all_page' ) ) {
    get_template_part( 'template-parts/header/feature-slider' );
}

Replace with:

$cat_term = get_queried_object();
$show_post = get_field('baxivanos_featured_slider_cat',$cat_term);
if( is_home() || get_theme_mod( 'penci_featured_slider_all_page' ) || $show_post ) {
    get_template_part( 'template-parts/header/feature-slider' );
}

4. Go to the Category you want to display post, check on Show Featured Slider Posts in this Category

Hi,

1. You should install and use the Advanced Ads plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/

2. Unfortunately, you can only show Featured Slider on Homepage or show all page, you can't show on a specific category in this version. I'll send a feature request to the theme developer.

Best Regards,
PenciDesign.

Hi,

1. Please go to the Post > Categories, click Edit on Category you want to add Ads, scroll down to the bottom and put your Ads code in "Add Google Adsense/Custom HTML Code below this category".

2. You enter the category name and category description with the same content, so your page displays both. Please go to every category edit/remove.
