How do you add a slider to a WordPress plugin?

Last updated on January 23, 2023 @ 2:01 pm

Adding a slider to a WordPress plugin can be done in a few simple steps. First, create a new file called slider.php and add the following code to it:

<?php /** * slider.php */ function slider() { // Add your slider code here } ?>

Next, create a new file called functions.php and add the following code to it:

<?php /** * functions.php */ function slider() { // Add your slider code here } ?>

PRO TIP: Adding a slider to a WordPress plugin can be tricky and may result in unexpected behavior. If you are not familiar with coding, it is best to avoid this task.

Finally, add the following line to your plugin’s header:

<?php /** * Your plugin name */ function slider() { // Add your slider code here } ?>

You’re ready to add your slider! To do so, simply add the following code to your theme’s header:

<script src="<?php wp_slider( 'my-plugin-slider', array( 'container' => 'body', 'speed' => 5000, 'max' => 2000, 'id' => 'my-plugin-slider', 'controls' => array( ), ) ); ?>"></script>

You’re done! Now you can use your slider in any of your theme’s pages. Just remember to add the appropriate controls to your slider (see the example above) and to set the speed and max values appropriately.
