Featured Content Slider for WP

CMS & WordPress
1

Hey guys,

I just wanted to ask you a small question about Featured Content Sliders for WP.

I was wondering if I should either start off with a slider script (HTML/CSS/jQuery) and then use php to integrate with WP, or use a pre-existing WP plugin for sliding content and then edit the HTML/CSS to make it look like the slider I want.

Which is the easier method?

Not sure if this helps but it might be something to build from

Thanks, but I was looking for something that will look something like this:

There isn’t a single WP plugin that has features like that, leaving me to just edit the css.

Any ideas here? Anything would help!

depends on what you are comfortable with. There is a theme that has a very cool slideshow feature here (Mensa Theme): http://www.wpcorner.com/mensa-theme-in-3-colors/

There are many more, as well… www.google.com
