Image sliders are quite popular and add a nice visual element to any website. You could use a plugin for this, but WordPress has all of the functionality built-in for you to integrate one in any theme of your liking. Christine Rondeau will demonstrate how to build a custom slider without a plugin on your WordPress site!
This session will be of interest to theme developers who often:
– Build custom themes for clients
– Want to learn more how to integrate an image slider using WordPress’s gallery function and NO plugin
– Want to learn how to integrate jQuery properly
– Do not fear editing theme files including functions.php
In this presentation, Christine will walk you through how to edit a basic theme and include an image slider and portfolio section.
Who should attend
This session is for theme developers who build custom sites on a regular basis. CSS and html is not new to you and you love manipulating your theme files.
