HeleneWallis:
Is there any reasonably simple way to remove the Nivo slider altogether, without going through and eliminating every reference to it individually? There does not appear to be any way to apply an alt attribute to the individual image slices, amongst other problems with it. I have stopped it from being displayed on my website, and WAVE no longer shows errors for it. But the code is still present, but aXe dev tools found problems.
I don't use this template but it seems that the content of the slider is controlled by tpl_nivo_top.php and that that file is called in includes\templates\fluorspar\common\tpl_header.php
This is the code, in that file, that either need to be disabled or removed:
<?php
if ($this_is_home_page) {
?>
<div id="home-banner"><?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_nivo_top.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_nivo_top.php');?></div>
<?php
}
?>
If you don't want to delete it altogether but just 'hide' it from the code than I would change it to:
[B]<?php /* ?>[/B]
<?php
if ($this_is_home_page) {
?>
<div id="home-banner"><?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_nivo_top.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_nivo_top.php');?></div>
<?php
}
?>
[B]<?php */ ?>[/B]
Edit: there is a javascript file in includes\templates\fluorspar\jscript that no longer needs to load - can be renamed (jquery.nivo.slider.js_old) or deleted. I can't think of anything else that might need considering.
