Lensa Slider Sort

Hi again,

This time i will share to you all about how to sort the slider of Lensa theme. There are so many people asking me about this thing.

To sort the photograph item on the slider, you have to modify a file named theme-functions.php (FTP > wp-content > themes > lensa > includes).

Find out this code around line 747:

query_posts( array(
        'post_type' => 'photograph',
        'meta_key' => 'colabs_feature_photograph',
        'meta_value'=> 'true',
        'posts_per_page' => $slide_number
      ));

Edit it become (for example):

query_posts( array(
        'post_type' => 'photograph',
        'meta_key' => 'colabs_feature_photograph',
        'meta_value'=> 'true',
	'orderby' => 'rand',
        'posts_per_page' => $slide_number
      ));

Those modification will made your slider photograph sorted by a random order. There are a lot of mod you can use for the order. You can check it at this URL (check for order & orderby parameters).

  1. Hello Tandamerah !
    Thank you for you great work about Lensa’s customization. I’m having some trouble with the slideshow ; I don’t manage to pause the slideshow when I hover it with my mouse, even if I put “true” or “false” in the Lensa Dashboard. Do you have by any chance an advice for me ?
    Best regards,

    Alexia

    • Hi Alexia,

      It is a hard question since the pause_hover option only work if you are hovering on the image directly. At the Lensa case, the images are set to be a background, so even if you are hovering your mouse, it will not work.

      You will need to restructured the whole theme from scratch
