Featured Image Slider/Carousel?

  • Is it possible to have the featured image of the parent/front page be a slider/carousel? I would like to have the featured image at the top of the homepage changing behind the excerpt. I have found various plugins for sliders/image carousels but I can’t find anything in their documentation/descriptions about replacing the featured image with a slider/carousel. I’m a newbie to all this so I appreciate any help. Thank you in advance!

  • Hi there,
    To answer your question would result in a larger discussion. A slider/carousel involves more than one image. For a normal post or page there is no option to upload more than one ‘feature image’, which is a very specific functionality behind it.

    You might need to go about it a slightly different way
    And you have some options:
    1) make the homepage a static page: Settings > Reading > Static page and just place a slider/carousel block on top of the homepage from one of the plugins you already found.
    2) Look for a theme, that provides this kind of functionality.
    3) you could put all the pictures into a small video, and add it to the cover block on top of the page.
    I am running out of ideas right now. If I think of some more ways to accomplish this, I’ll add a comment here.
    Unfortunately, there isn’t a single answer to your question.
