AgentPress Pro – Front Page Slider Background

This tutorial provides the code & instructions for replacing the background image on the front page with a slide show. Here’s the demo video:

  • The solution also removes the background image setting from the WordPress customizer.
  • You can add as many images to the slider as you like and upload them to your WordPress Media Library.
  • You can also very easily add the slider behind any widget area or div container.

  2. Hi
    The images on my homepage scroll through once and remain on the last image in my backstretch-set.js.

    I was wondering if there was an additional field in the object {fade: 750,
    duration: 500} that I could set where it would continually rotate the images? Or would I create some loop?

    Thanks so much!

        • No, the PHP code which loads the jQuery will look something like this :

          // Enqueue scripts.
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'agentpress_front_page_enqueue_scripts' );
function agentpress_front_page_enqueue_scripts() {

	// Load scripts only if custom background is being used.
	if ( ! get_option( 'agentpress-home-image' ) )
		return;

	// Enqueue Backstretch scripts.
	wp_enqueue_script( 'agentpress-backstretch', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/backstretch.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'agentpress-backstretch-set', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/js/backstretch-set.js' , array( 'jquery', 'agentpress-backstretch' ), '1.0.0' );

	wp_localize_script( 'agentpress-backstretch-set', 'BackStretchImg', array( 'src' => str_replace( 'http:', '', get_option( 'agentpress-home-image' ) ) ) );

	// Add agentpress-pro-home body class.
	add_filter( 'body_class', 'agentpress_body_class' );

}

          Which you can modify to this :

          // Enqueue scripts.
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'front_page_enqueue_scripts' );
function front_page_enqueue_scripts() {
		
	if ( ! is_front_page() )
		return;	

	// Enqueue Backstretch scripts.
	wp_enqueue_script( 'agentpress-backstretch', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/backstretch.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'agentpress-backstretch-set', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/js/backstretch-set.js' , array( 'jquery', 'agentpress-backstretch' ), '1.0.0' );

	wp_localize_script( 'agentpress-backstretch-set', 'BackStretchImg', array( 'src' => str_replace( 'http:', '', get_option( 'agentpress-home-image' ) ) ) );

}

          And use in your functions file. Otherwise, use the above code in your fro nt page template without the conditional tag :

          if ( ! is_front_page() )
    return;
