Sirocco: Recreating the Demo - Slideshow

Slideshow Section

Here is the widget breakdown for the Slideshow section:

RokSprocket (Features)

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.

NOTE: If you are using the the RocketLauncher, there are some special instructions concerning the handling of the preset images for this widget. If you notice your images aren't changing as expected, or if you would like more information on how this was set up, you can find it here.

Simple Provider

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.

Description

<span class="wow fadeInUp" data-wow-delay="0.5s">A visually rich theme design with seamlessly integrated interactive and animated elements.</span>

Here is a look at the Features Layout Options for this widget.

The Full Slideshow theme is unique to Sirocco and was created to give the RokSprocket mode a certain set of attributes that enables it to look the way it does in this theme. You can find more information about overriding themes here.

You can set the RokSprocket filters to include any category, specific posts, or otherwise you would like to have featured in this widget.

Once you have created this widget, you can add it via the Widgets menu by clicking RokSprocket and dragging it to the appropriate section. When you have done this, you will need to return to the Widgets settings and fill them out as noted below:

Leaving everything else at its default setting, select Save.

The widget should now be created and ready for use on the front page of your WordPress site.
