Iam somewhat of a newbie when it comes to wordpress. so bear with me.
ive been trying to make a simple slider that will display 3 catagories.
- books
- Boardgames
- office supplies
iam making it for someone who dosnt want a web store but just wanting it to display items in a meaningfull and dynamik way.
what ive tried is installing the WooCommerce plugin to make all my products and then installing the product slider by pickplugins.
I like the way it looks and i want to make two more. but i see no option to choose between different catagories in the slider options, so if i make 2 more sliders it will just display the same items (all of them).
the site is: http://nordborgboghandel.dk/
and the slider i want is something like there is on the frontpage.
anybody fixed a similar problem??
-Thanks!
Yes, I was once stuck into a same situation, in which we had to customize the slider. Basically you will have to play with the CSS and JS of the slider plugin which you have used to create the slider.
You can start of by having a look at the js and the css used by the slider. Refer the documentation of the slider if available, I am sure if they have any documentation you can have it customized easily by modifying some values in it. If not then you will have to check the JS code and try to hack it yourself to fit your needs.

I seen this logo slider on a lot of websites and i need help to either locate where to get it or any ideas to make it.
I tried to look through the sourcecode and can't how it is made.
I guess it is some sort of plugin or theme but not sure?
Example of one of the websites: https://www.webfx.com/
I'm trying to customize a theme that I bought for WordPress.
My knowledge in PHP is null, because I use King Composer as the editor that comes with the subject.
I am starting to modify parts of the theme, but the main cover, which I show in the capture, I can not change the background image of the beginning of my site.
They are two different images that alternate, and the text that each one has.
I leave the link to my site, I guess I offer them a lot so they can help me, but looking for the files I do not know how to edit, so I use King Composer.
I've seen tutórales, but they focused on blog and I did not find a way to solve this, like changing the images of the slider.
Sorry to offer you just this, if you give me more ideas so you can help me.
Thank you.

Your slider is controlled by a plugin called Revolution slider.
You should see an option for this in the wordpress admin menu on the main side bar to the left. You can change the image by finding the correct slide (as i presume there will be multiple) and editing it.
You can find the documentation here: https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/slider-revolution-documentation/
I've looked a looked and looked for the perfect rotating banner for my website I am creating and I found flex slider, of which I love as it gives you the circled just underneath and the left and right arrows as well. The option for face or slide is what I was looking for too, however I need a plugin that allows the user to upload an image to the banner like Useful banner Manager. (I'm not using UBM as I don't what each banner image to fade to white and then to the next image, but that's how it acts).
Does anyone know a great rotating banner plugin that is easy to follow for wordpress newbies (as this will be integrated into the websites I create for clients) either free or premium?
OR do you know how I might just add the upload option to the flex slider plugin?
If you know the data format that the Flex Slider uses you can simply create a custom post type called 'Banner', restrict the various stock metaboxes, leaving say, only the editor and media upload. Then your clients can simply create new 'banners' by creating a new banner post, and uploading its associated image. This is a nice, simple and easy to understand interface for clients, making it easy for them to add, remove, edit banners.
Then simply do a get_posts on your banners and provide the Flex slider with data in a format it expects.
This has the advantage of not requiring a plugin to create, which is useful if you are distributing themes.

I am trying to find a good plugin that would take the 4 most recent news articles, or filtered for a category, and allow me to make a auto rotating slider. Which includes a large image, a title, and a excerpt (not content) from a post. And also taking the image, or featured image as the navigation of the slides.
Does anyone know of such plugin? I am having little luck finding one that does most of this.
I've used SlideDeck in the past. They offer a free version so you can play around with it, and with a little programming you can display anything you want in it. I ended up not using it because it was overkill for what I needed and just coded my own slider with jQuery.
I have been asked to build a portfolio website for a photographer. The main page contains a slideshow of the photographer's best work, I have used an autoplaying NextGEN SmoothGallery with Lytebox. After some customization of the plugin, this works.
However, the client has requested a category selection above the main slideshow and a scrollbar below the image. They also want part of the previous and next images to be visible, not just the image in focus. The image here illustrates what I mean.
I have searched and searched, but cannot find a plugin that would do this. Can anybody help, please?
The trouble is, I doubt there is a plugin around that would do this, and it's really not going to be a case of "here's the code to do that, just drop it in and you're flying".
If it were me, I'd probably write the whole thing myself, because if I'm honest, I've never used the NextGEN SmoothGallery plugin, and wouldn't want to root around all the code when I've got a simple idea myself;
A bit of PHP that outputs the list of categories, and then an unordered list of the X most recent items, one list for each category.
Then I'd use jQuery (and probably the jCarousel plugin) to create the slideshow for a single list, and add click handlers to the category links which simply 'swap in' the correct list into the current carousel.
Finish the whole thing off with some CSS.
Does any of that sound like something you'd be familiar with?
