 * I’ve answered my own question: I don’t need to know how to do the first part 
   if I can do the second.
 * In the child version of functions.php:
 *     ```
       function flat_responsive_widgets_child() {
   
       	register_sidebar( array(
       		'name' => __( 'Widget Name Here', 'flat-responsive' ),
       		'id' => 'widget-name-here',
       		'description' => __( 'This is the wide homepage banner space.', 'flat-responsive' ),
       		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
       		'after_widget' => '</div>',
       		'before_title' => '',
       		'after_title' => '',
       	) );
   
       }
       add_action( 'widgets_init', 'flat_responsive_widgets_child' );
       ```
   
 * and in the child version of header.php before `<!--End of Style Store Banner--
   >`:
 *     ```
       <?php
       	if ( ! is_active_sidebar( 'widget-name-here' ) ):
       		return;
       	elseif(is_active_sidebar( 'widget-name-here' ) ):
       		dynamic_sidebar( 'widget-name-here' );
       	endif;
        ?>
       ```
   
 * Then shove anything required into Widget Name Here on the Widgets page.

 * No, that’s not right.
 * Say I’ve set my static homepage to be the page ‘My Homepage’. I put content on
   this page within the regular WP editor e.g. “Hi, welcome to this website [shortcode_example]
   etc.”
 * But when I set up the Kyma homepage options, the homepage content doesn’t appear.
 * I want the homepage content that I’ve created to appear on the homepage beneath
   the slider.

 * No, because I did exactly what you said and the slider ignores it and takes the
   slider height from the image instead.

 * Hi,
 * It looks like the slider defaults to the height of the image used, instead of
   doing the equivalent of ‘background-size: cover’, which is what’s needed here,
   particularly with images of different sizes.
 * I’ve tried making the height change to both theme setup functions but the slider
   only pays attention to the image size.
 * I’ve also tried changing the wrapper height via the CSS, but this either distorts
   the image or knocks the text lines down.

 * Hi,
 * Does that mean on the paid version, I can point the link on a slide to any other
   page instead of the same post that makes the slide?
 * And how can I get content from the homepage (Settings > Reading > Static > My
   Homepage) to appear under the slider on the homepage?

 * Is there any way of changing the slider size in Kyma-Child? I tried copying over
   the whole kyma_theme_setup function but got a server error.

 * Thanks for fixing issue 2.
 * Issue 1: a screenshot wouldn’t help unfortunately. Do you know the [Events Manager plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/)?
   It creates events as posts, however the posts are not shown as regular posts.
   I’m looking at EM for a solution but if you can come up with an idea that’d be
   very helpful.

 * WP Help looks to be back-end solely. We’re going to be using the standard WP 
   blog category with a manually built menu behind login permissions on the live
   site instead.
 * Not quite as whizzy as having a plugin to do it all for you, but perfectly fine
   nonetheless.

 * I think I’ve got the same problem: if you have a shortcode that adds content 
   to a page, Raptor will save the content back to the page and write over the shortcode.
 * For example, if you use the [Testimonials Widget (TW)](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/testimonials-widget/)
   in amongst the content of a page using a shortcode, then edit something else 
   on that page and save it via Raptor, the code generated by TW is also saved and“
   hard coded” into the content instead of the shortcode. This means that any further
   testimonials will be ignored by that page, and you have to go back into the regular
   WP editor to delete the “hard code” and replace it with the shortcode EVERY time.
 * This appears to be true of all shortcoded widgets when added to the content. 
   Is there any way to get Raptor to avoid editing anything within [shortcode brackets]?

 * Finally worked it out!
 * I swapped all instances of the da-img animation number (e.g. ‘4’ in ‘fromRightAnim4’)
   for the h2 and p ones. (I don’t use .da-link so that doesn’t feature in the solution.)
 * So for example, this:
 *     ```
       .da-slide-fromright h2{
       	-webkit-animation: fromRightAnim1 0.6s ease-in 0.8s both; ...
   
       .da-slide-fromright p{
       	-webkit-animation: fromRightAnim2 0.6s ease-in 0.8s both; ...
   
       .da-slide-fromright .da-img{
       	-webkit-animation: fromRightAnim4 0.6s ease-in 0.8s both; ...
       ```
   
 * becomes this:
 *     ```
       .da-slide-fromright h2{
       	-webkit-animation: fromRightAnim4 0.6s ease-in 0.8s both; ...
   
       .da-slide-fromright p{
       	-webkit-animation: fromRightAnim4 0.6s ease-in 0.8s both; ...
   
       .da-slide-fromright .da-img{
       	-webkit-animation: fromRightAnim1 0.6s ease-in 0.8s both; ...
       ```
   
 * I also changed all the 60% values to 40%, but that was pretty much it.
 * I’ve posted the full CSS up at [http://shorttext.com/QJ52sSlsoCFXnoA](http://shorttext.com/QJ52sSlsoCFXnoA)
   for you to check out. Notice I tagged up all the original values too – I took
   a bunch of wrong turns before I got there.

 * I’d suggest using Shortcode PHP Exec to put the PHP into a shortcode you can 
   use wherever:
