Featured Content Showcase lets you create a customizable rotating slideshow highlighting certain posts or pages on your WordPress site. You can give your site the eye-catching appeal it needs quickly and easily. Simply install the plugin, select some posts as “featured” by checking a checkbox on the write post/page screen, upload your desired image to that post or page, and set it as the “post thumbnail”. That’s it!
If you want to further customize the showcase, you can adjust the size, transition speed, and theme, as well as choosing whether to show a filmstrip of thumbnail images. If you decide to show a filmstrip, where’s plenty of options for that part as well.
- Verify that you have PHP5, which is required for this plugin.
- Upload the whole
featured-content-showcasedirectory to the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
How do I add this to my theme?
Simply add this code where you want the showcase to display:
if (function_exists('get_featured_content_showcase')) {
echo get_featured_content_showcase();
}
How do I make a post or page "featured"?
Once the plugin is activated, you will see a new meta box on the edit page and edit post pages in WordPress admin titled "Featured Content Showcase". At a minimum you need to check the checkbox labeled "Featured" and set an image as the "page image" or "post image". You can also specify a Showcase Title and/or Showcase text if you want, but that's optional.
