Rotating Feature Post Wordpress Plugin
- 4 Comment
Here it is, this is a great little wordpress plugin that I have discovered it is free to use and if you want to remove the credit to the author of the plugin you can also pay for a pro version which will remove the credit info. Follow these easy steps to activate it on your site. The first thing you need is wordpress stats plugin you can download it from here : Wordpress Stats Plugin You need to set up wordpress stats as the featurific plugin uses the info to supply the most popular posts as your featured posts. Once you have the wordpress stats plugin set up then move on to downloading the featurific wordpress plugin. You can download it by going here : Wordpress Featurific Plugin Once downloaded unzip it and then ftp it to your server into your wp-content/plugins folder. the go to your themes index.php file and place this code straight after line 1 on your index.php file. It should be placed straight after this line. <?php get_header(); ?> Then place the code in red underneath so it apprears like this on your index.php. Always remember before you start working with your index.php file to copy the code into notepad and save it on your computer that way if you do a mistake it is easy to get the original code and put it back into your index.php file.<?php get_header(); ?><?php //Code automatically inserted by Featurific for Wordpress plugin if(is_home()) //If we're generating the home page (remove this line to make Featurific appear on all pages)... if(function_exists('insert_featurific')) //If the Featurific plugin is activated... insert_featurific(); //Insert the HTML code to embed Featurific ?> Be careful not to accidentally delete any other code and just install the above in red code into your index.php file. Then log into your wp-admin area and activate the feaurific plugin. Once activated then go to your settings/Featruific and setup your animated feature posts as you want them. You can either let the stats plugin select the posts to show as featured based on the popularity. Or you can select individual posts to be featured it is up to you. There are many themes templates to choose from so select one that is similar to your theme currently being used. You may strike a problem with posts loading in the featurific area if you have selected the most popular posts over the last 90 days if you have only just installed the wordpress stats plugin. I suggest if you have just installed this plugin then you select to use user specified posts. Now if you have your posts using the titles in there url and not ther post number you can find out the number of the post by going into your dashboard and selecting manage posts and then in the title area of your posts run your cursor over the title and the post number will appear in your browser bottom bar left hand side.
