How Do I Make an HTML Slider in WordPress?

Making an HTML slider in WordPress is simple, and the process is similar to creating any other type of slider. The first step is to create a new slider in the WordPress admin panel.

Next, you will need to create a new slider post. In the post’s settings, you will need to select the “Slider” template and configure the settings as follows:

1. The “Slider Type” drop-down menu should be set to “HTML”.

2. The “Slider Location” field should be set to the URL of the slider file that you created in step 1.

3. The “Slider Image” field should be set to the URL of the image that will be used as the slider’s background.

4. The “Slider Posts” field should be set to 1.

5. The “Slider Start Position” field should be set to the position of the slider’s starting point.

6. The “Slider End Position” field should be set to the position of the slider’s ending point.

7. The “Slider Speed” field should be set to the desired speed of the slider.

8. The “Slider Duration” field should be set to the desired duration of the slider.

9. The “Slider Interval” field should be set to the desired interval of the slider.

10. The “Slider Margin” field should be set to the desired margin of the slider.

11. The “Slider Width” field should be set to the desired width of the slider.

12. The “Slider Height” field should be set to the desired height of the slider.

13. The “Create New Slider Post” button should be clicked.

After clicking the “Create New Slider Post” button, the slider post will be created and the settings will be updated to reflect the changes that have been made. The next step is to add the slider to the WordPress site.

To do this, the slider post should be dragged and dropped into the desired location on the website. Once the slider has been added to the site, the settings can be updated as necessary.

The final step is to add a few lines of code to the slider post’s code area to enable the slider. To do this, you will need to copy the following code and paste it into the slider post’s code area:

The first two lines of code will load the jQuery JavaScript library and the Bootstrap CSS library, respectively. The third line of code will load the jQuery UI library.

After the code has been copied and pasted into the slider post’s code area, the slider will be enabled and the settings will be updated to reflect the changes that have been made.

Conclusion

Creating an HTML slider in WordPress is simple and can be done by following the same steps that are used to create any other type of slider. The slider post will be created, the settings will be updated, and the slider will be enabled.
