How To Configure Featured Content Slider

This tutorial is configuring for the slider you can see on many of my blogger themes.

Configure Blogger Featured Content Slider

To setup this featured image slider with your content you need to visit "Edit HTML" page of your blog.

Find this line:

<!-- Featured Content Slider Started -->

There are 5 slides in the slider. Each slide code is wrapped by <div class='fp-slides-items'> and </div>. Look at the example code below. It is the first slide code of one of my theme:

<!-- Slide 1 Code Start -->
<div class='fp-slides-items'>
<div class='fp-thumbnail'>
<a href='#'><img src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BVtVmHgtiqo/VWkYK9E8H4I/AAAAAAAANXg/6bhrTsmzSi8/s1600/1.jpg'/></a>
</div>
<div class='fp-content-wrap'>
<div class='fp-content'>
<h3 class='fp-title'>
<a href='#'>This is default featured slide 1 title</a>
</h3>
<p>
Go to Blogger edit html and find these sentences.Now replace these sentences with your own descriptions.This theme is Bloggerized by Lasantha Bandara - Premiumbloggertemplates.com. 
</p>
</div>
<div class='fp-prev-next-wrap clearfix'>
    <a class='fp-next' href='#fp-next'/>
    <a class='fp-prev' href='#fp-prev'/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Slide 1 Code End -->

Now replace,

  • "This is default featured slide 1 title" with your featured post title.
  • "#" with your featured post URL.
  • "Go to Blogger edit html and find these sentences.Now replace these sentences with your own descriptions.This theme is Bloggerized by Lasantha Bandara - Premiumbloggertemplates.com." with your slider description.
  • "http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BVtVmHgtiqo/VWkYK9E8H4I/AAAAAAAANXg/6bhrTsmzSi8/s1600/1.jpg" with your slider image.

Now we have configured the first slide. Final slide code will look like this:

<!-- Slide 1 Code Start -->
<div class='fp-slides-items'>
<div class='fp-thumbnail'>
<a href='http://www.bloggertipandtrick.net/best-free-wordpress-security-plugins/'><img src='http://www.bloggertipandtrick.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/iThemes-Security.jpg'/></a>
</div>
<div class='fp-content-wrap'>
<div class='fp-content'>
<h3 class='fp-title'>
<a href='http://www.bloggertipandtrick.net/best-free-wordpress-security-plugins/'>10+ Best Free WordPress Security Plugins</a>
</h3>
<p>

</p>
</div>
<div class='fp-prev-next-wrap clearfix'>
    <a class='fp-next' href='#fp-next'/>
    <a class='fp-prev' href='#fp-prev'/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Slide 1 Code End -->

There are another 4 slide codes you have to configure like this.

  1. Hi!! I need your help, please! Change the setting, in the '#' but the slide tells me that there is no URL. How do I know the correct URL ? Thanks

  2. Hi, I tried to change the slider contents but seems that the slider is no longer moving.
    I have installed it earlier but it was working fine before.
    Can you advise?

    1. It is because you have added jQuery script into this theme twice. Try removing this code from your "Floating Facebook Widget":

      <script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js'></script>

  3. Hi, great theme. But I have a problem. When I changed slider my menu cant be seen. It is there, but submennu is behind the picture and cant be clicked. Any advice about that?

    1. I can not see such problem in your blog. however try adding these CSS codes:

      .menu-primary-container{z-index:10 !important;}
      .menu-secondary-container{z-index:9 !important;}

  4. I got it right but the images turned out to be too small for the slide. I created the images at 615px by 300 px. why has it shrunk in size?

  5. Is there a way to add more than 8 slides? It seems to mess with the menu when you add more that 8 slides.
