Create a “Featured Posts” Slider
Create a post-based slider populated with your blog's Sticky PostsProbably the easiest way to setup a "Latest News" slider for your clients' website
1. Setup your post-based slider with some default options.
- Leave the category/tag selections empty to pull in all Stick Posts.
Or select some categories/tags to restrict Sticky Posts to those selections.
2. Add the following code to your theme's "functions.php" file.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
function slider_sticky_posts($query, $slider_id) { // only apply the special filter for slider with "x" ID // https://tinyurl.com/zb6hzpc if($slider_id == 4) { // only include "sticky" posts $query['post__in'] = get_option( 'sticky_posts' ); } return $query; } add_filter('revslider_get_posts', 'slider_sticky_posts', 10, 2); |
3. Choose which posts will be pulled into the slider
Visit one of your posts, and select "Edit" from the "Publish -> Visibility" section.
Then choose "Stick this post to the front-page" to tag the post as a "Sticky".
- Quick Note:
Unless your website is already setup to display posts on its homepage, designating a post as a "Sticky" like this will not effect your current homepage content (aside from the possible "Sticky Post" slider that you may be adding with this tutorial).
