Your Guide to Recreating Elements of the Iridescent Theme for WordPress
Here is the widget breakdown for the Showcase section:
This area of the demo is a RokSprocket widget. You will need to do two things to prepare this widget so that it looks similar to the one in the demo.
First, you will need to create the RokSprocket Widget. You can do this by navigating to Administration -> RokSprocket Admin and creating a new Features widget.
You can find out more about RokSprocket and how to set up and modify widgets by visiting our RokSprocket documentation.
We used the Simple Provider to enable us to create custom RokSprocket content without having to create separate posts or pages to do so. Here are the details of one of the Simple Items in the Featured Article List.

<span class="wow fadeInUp" data-wow-delay="0.5s"><span class=

over how you present your content.</span><br>
<span>One of RokSprocket's greatest assets is its custom administrator, which
provides unprecedented control with extensive configuration options.</span><br>
<span class="visible-desktop">The widget is an expandable content display
platform, with a diverse selection of prebuilt layout modes, that offer
different structural and functional types to choose from.</span> <span class=

The plugin supports several providers, such as WordPress and its very own
Simple provider, which allows for content to be created and controlled entirely
within RokSprocket.</span></span>
