    I was hoping that I can use this feature (LayerSlider WP – dynamic content from posts) to display 3 random blog posts (or at least one – the latest, most read, etc.) on a slide but it doesn’t seem to work for me.

    I have used the following placeholders:

    [title] [excerpt] Learn more

    On preview I can see one but live the slider remains blank.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi guys,

    I’m trrying something similar. I would like to have the 8 (or so) latest post shown in de Layer Slider. The idea as shown in this image.
    I came up with this code [title] but ofcourse it will only show one post. How can I achieve this?

    Cheers,

    Steven

    Hi Steven!

    Have you configured the Post Options? there you can set which Posts are shown.

    Hi Josue,

    Yes I did. What I would like is to have the first 8 posts showing up in the slider. I can’t get it to work though. I tried Get the following item in the set of matched selection or I can choose which one ( 1st 2nd etc.) I can’t select the first 8 here.

    Cheers,

    Steven

    You can’t select the first 8 in the same layer, you’d need to create 8 layers and select the 1st, 2nd, 3rd in each one respectively.

    Hi Josue,

    Thanks for your reply. I figured out an easy way to achieve this: Just open a page and select default editor mode. In the text editor, use the magic wand and select: Content Elements> Blog posts. Use the settings as required and copy the generated shortcode in the Layer Slider.
    The only thing is how to figure out to get the layout as in my screendump. Would be great if you could point me in the right direction.

    Hey!

    Try adding this code to the Quick CSS:

    .ls-l .slide-entry-wrap {
        margin: 0 !important;
    }
    
    .ls-l .slide-entry {
        margin-bottom: 5px !important;
    }

    Cheers!

    .ls-l a.slide-image {
        display: none !important;
    }
