Here’s the ultimate question:

I have set up a post-based slider at https://circleofhopeinc.org/wallofhonor/

I am looking to add each person’s photo to the slider along with the post title and post content, but I don’t know how. This photo is currently an imaged added to the post content. If I can do this through a custom meta tag, could you walk me through the exact code to use? I’m afraid I’m not familiar with meta tags, and just can’t figure out how to add the photo from each post!

If it’s easier to do this through the featured image, and then select a static image as the main rose background, I’m willing to change all my featured images for each post. I’d just still need to know the meta tag for featured image.

This will be great, once it’s all set up!

Many thanks!

Thanks for writing in!

Hope that helps.

Or instead of using the metatag feature, maybe I should create a style in the advanced editor? What code would I need to call upon the image in each post?

You should buy another license directly from the author of Rev. Slider to get full support and direct updates from them.

And about your question, meta tag is simply meta you added by custom fields. Let’s get into details 🙂

1. Edit your target post (Admin > Posts) and then open Screen options on top of your page.

2. Through that screen options, check custom fields to enable it.

3. Scroll down to find custom fields section.

4. Add your custom field name (meta tag name), and value (meta tag value). You can add your image’s url as meta tag value, and let say we use my_awesome_image as meta tag name.

5. Then go to your slider’s slide and add a new layer. And with that layer insert a content (eg. <img src="">

6. Then add your meta tag name.

<img src="%meta:my_awesome_image%">

7. Save

Cool isn’t it 😉

Thanks!

However, sorry to ask this again, but assuming we already defined a featured image for every post:

What is a quick input for getting a featured image to appear on the slide?

WP 4.3
REV SLIDER 5.0.4.1
X 4.0.7 (Integrity Stack)

(our editor is not willing to manually add an awesome meta key for every new post – ok, so he`s lazy).

Thanks for writing in! As Revolution Slider is a 3rd party plugin, regretfully, we have limited support for it that only covers its compatibility issues with X. So questions related to transitions, animations or how the certain feature of the slider works, would be getting outside the support we can offer. You may refer to Revolution Slider online documentation: http://revolution.themepunch.com/documentation/

You can review our Kb article on Revolution Slider for more information.

Thank you for understanding. Take care!
