Slider with latest posts

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to add a slider that shows the latest or sticky posts?

 

Do I need a thir party plugin for that? If so, which one is recommended?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

You could check out these;

If they do not meet your requirement, you will need to search the WordPress plugin repository.

Hi Danny,

Thanks for your answer. I was looking for a free option.

Do you recommend any at the wordpress repository? And, how will I be able to use it with pagelines?

I have never used a post slider before so I can't recommend any unfortunately.

Ok, but let's suppose I find one that I like. How would I be able to add it as a drag and drop?

Isn't there such a way to do so?

If you find a plugin you like and want to have it work via drag and drop, you would need to make your own section for that plugin.

And how do I do that? Is there a documentation link for me to read?

 

Thanks

Nothing geoff. I've even given up on this.

I at this point (after spending all day working on this) have decided to just go with the slider and manually updating images.... Figure it'll help keep our client on a maintenance plan anyway, or a teaching session!

      Greetings
      I just migrated an old DMS2 site to PL5 at cassClayton.com. If you look at the site on Safari browser, you will see the top nav bar (NavPro) is white, but gets revealed as you start to scroll the page. NavPro is used in the Header section, then a Text section in which I have Shortcode for the Smart Slider3 plugin. Would have preferred to use a PL-compatible slider but found it difficult to get Flick and Impress slider to simply fill full screen, just height of images (they were filling whole screen, hence large black area filling in the rest).
      So seems on Safari that the load order of the plugin may be causing the Nav bar to be overwritten? or something. 
      Hoping someone can help?
      thanks...  (works fine on Chrome, Firefox, even Tor, just not Safari)

      Is there a reason why the Newsfront Section doesn't include sticky posts?  Would be great if it did.

      Hello there,
      We are still using DMS 2 and were wondering if it was at all compatible with slider revolution. (https://codecanyon.net/item/slider-revolution-responsive-wordpress-plugin/2751380). Our issue is that the default revslider for DMS clips the top and sides of videos when made responsive. As the video is made smaller or larger the bottom of it tends to be cut off, or the sides are. We noticed slider revolution was 100% responsive, but have had numerous issues even getting it to display in DMS 2. We have tried using the shortcode, and various php scripts to no avail. Our last attempt was to try and load it with header scripts, but at this point we seem to be further away than ever. 
      This leads me to a few questions:
      1. Is Slider Revolution even compatible with DMS2?
      2. Is there a way we can get 100% responsive video in DMS 2 with zero clipping? (tonyrobbins.com is another good example of the effect we are trying to achieve.)
      3. If Slider Revolution is compatible, how do we go about adding it in?
       
      Thank you for any help.

      Hi Developers, I wasn’t sure what the best way to get feedback was but didn’t really want to put this in the facebook group, I did put this in the slack developers group but trying to figure out the fastest way to get feedback.  I am starting a new site for a client and was looking through the showcase to see if there were any samples for slider modifications like I am trying to do for our build and couldn’t find them.  Basically I want to have a blue section at the bottom of each slide that has text in it.  The text will change with each slide along with the image.  Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how this modification could be made?  Here is a sample of the slider from the design.

      Hi, 
      I was wondering if there's a way to modify the slider container size? My client would like it skinner- not as tall. How would you suggest doing that?
      Thank you.
      (this is for the paoloimperiale.com slider on the homepage)
