Image Slideshow

Depending on your content needs you will use one of the three slideshow plugins.

  • We recommended using the RoyalSlider to feature image or video in a slider on pages, posts and as a homepage hero.
  • The Genesis Responsive Slider, is your best option for displaying website content such as featured articles, pages and posts in the homepage hero area.

Please Contact us to further assess your needs and to set up the best slideshow solution for displaying your content.

The RoyalSlider is an image and video slider that can be embedded in pages, posts and widget areas, such as the sidebar and hero image area. To explore this option please contact us. If you are looking for instructions on how to add content to your slider visit our RoyalSlider instruction page.

Genesis Responsive Slider

The Genesis Slider can display pages & posts from your website, functioning like a featured article slider. It can be added anywhere including as a hero on the homepage. See an example of the homepage hero on the University Bands site.

Sorting Slides

Despite configurations that appear to allow you to control the order of the slides, they are sorted by most recent date shown first, oldest date is last. Fortunately, you can edit the Publish on Date for your Posts or Pages that you are using in the slideshow.
