The Featured Slider is a great tool to highlight the contents of your blog and call the attention of your site visitors. With this slider, you can select a specific post label that will then populate the slider, hide certain info like post meta, and choose the number of slides that will appear in the slider.
Note: By default, the Featured Slider will display your latest blog posts at the top of your page (usually in homepage). To feature posts only from a certain category, check to have that label already added to the posts you want to show.
Setting Up the Featured Slider
Step 1. Access your Blogger Dashboard and go to Layout > click Edit on the “Featured Slider” gadget.
Step 2. Now, you will see the slider code that you can modify to suit your needs. To display posts from a specific label or category, look for default/? in the slider’s code and then REPLACE IT with default/-/Label? and then replace the Label text with your label.
Please note: The label is case sensitive. “Label” is not the same as “label” or “LABEL”. You need to type it exactly as it appears in your post editor, otherwise the slider will not work.
Step 3. To apply your changes, click on the “SAVE” text.
Important: Our Featured Slider does not work with multiple labels. If you want to display different categories, first add an unique label to the posts you want to feature and then use it in the slider’s code (as explained above).
