Dynamic slides (future posts, filter by category, …)?

Hi @webmark487!

Are dynamic slides (source: WordPress posts) only available with the pro version?
The “Posts by Filter” and “Posts? by IDs” are also available in the Free version:
https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1891-wordpress-posts-generator?

is it possible to show posts with a publishing date in the future as well???
If you mean that you want to show them in the future, whenever the post is published, then this is the default behavior.?
But if you meant that you want to to show them in the slider before they are published, then that is only available in the Pro version.?

is it possible to filter by more than 1 category?
If you hold down Ctrl while you select in the “Categories” list, then you can select more than one.
If you want to set a different filtering for each category, then you can add more dynamic slides to your slider, with each having a selected category for example.????

??is it possible to filter by a category, and at the same time exclude posts of a certain category?
In the Pro version, there is an option for this?.

is it possible to format slider content (eg. the title of a post) depending on its category? (one category – red title, another category – blue title)?
??I?f you add a separate dynamic slide to your slider for each category, you could do this, because the layout and styles set for the given dynamic slide would apply to the slides from the given generator.
?
The other option is that? you make a custom CSS Class for each category on the Style tab:
?https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1812-layer-style#advanced
with the help of a variable which carries an unique information about the category, e.g. slug. You could write content around the variables like this:

my-class-for-{category_slug/1}

in this case?? for example with the Posts by filter generator the {category_slog/1} would carry the slug of the category, and if you you have a “uncategorized” slug category, then for the slide coming from the post, it would add a CSS Class to the given layer like this:

• ?my-class-for-uncategorized

Like so for all CSS classes you could write custom CSS, which styles the elements as you wish.
However, please keep in mind that we cannot provide support for custom coding, including custom styling, so if you decide to do this, you will need to solve the problems that may arise from doing so yourself.??

In case you want to know more about the Pro features, then please contact us through or ticket system:

as this forum is used for the Free version, and as per the Forum guidelines??:

we cannot talk?? about “commercial products”, like our Pro version of the plugin.
