by | Apr 4, 2017 | How To | 0 comments

Some of the time we can not see a wordpress plugin that is looks like the slider on the design so what I going to do is to create a custom slider one of my favorite slider is the slick slider. You can create a custom slider by following the steps below.

First we have to embed the necessary js and css file, you can download the files from here http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick or use a CDN version https://cdnjs.com/libraries/slick-carousel

Add this code to the

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slick/slick.css"/>
// Add the new slick-theme.css if you want the default styling
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slick/slick-theme.css"/>

Add this code before the tag, please remove the jquery library if you already have it in your website

<script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="slick/slick.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('.your-class').slick({
    // We can add the slider settings below this line
  });
});
</script>

Lastly, the html markup

<div class="your-class">
  <div>your content</div>
  <div>your content</div>
  <div>your content</div>
</div>

When complete your html markup should be like this:

<html>
  <head>
  <title>My Now Amazing Webpage</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slick/slick.css"/>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="slick/slick-theme.css"/>
  </head>
  <body>

  <div class="your-class">
    <div>your content</div>
    <div>your content</div>
    <div>your content</div>
  </div>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="slick/slick.min.js"></script>

  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $('.your-class').slick({
        setting-name: setting-value
      });
    });
  </script>

  </body>
</html>
