Making a Slider+featured without Elementor?

  • Hi! I was wondering if it is possible to make an area that includes a Slider plus some featured posts without using Elementor.

    I’m talking about this kind of layout marked with the red frime:

    I’m using OceanWP’s Slider plugin, so I get a pretty stylized slider but I can’t customize it to that degree. I couldn’t do it with Smart Slider 3 either. But since a lot of themes already come with this kind of slider+featured layout, I was wondering if there is already something similar for OceanWP?

  • Hello @alexcastor,

    Thank you for reaching out,

    We don’t have the exact widget like that, however, you can achieve it by adding a section with two columns. Add a post slider shortcode to the left column and another widget, such as the latest post, to the right column.

    However, there is another way, you can find a plugin to achieve it, some plugins have that design for their widgets, you can search in the WordPress repository: https://wp.org/plugins/.

    Please recheck your issue and keep us posted.

    I hope it helps.
    Best Regards

    I tried looking for a plugin that does this but I didn’t have any luck. Can you suggest a term to find this kind of features?

    Hello @alexcastor,

    Thank you for reaching out,

    I can’t suggest which add-on to use, but most popular add-ons have the feature you are looking for. You can start your search here:
    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search/elementor+blog/

    You might not find exactly what you showed in the above image, but you can achieve what you want by combining features and using widgets similar to the prototype you presented. Please check the demos of each add-on to find the design closest to what you want.

    Then you can find 2 kinds of widgets, one for the slider(like Ocean Post Slider) and the second one for the widget on the sidebar(by using a third-party plugin).

    I hope it helps.
    Best Regards
