When creating a featured content slider from WordPress posts, one huge advantage is to customize each slide with its own, unique content. This helps create interest and will make your visitors click and stay longer on your website.

We are proud to announce that we released WordPress slider plugin Featured Articles PRO version 3.1 that comes with new features and some bug fixes.

The most notable feature in this version is the third-party slider scripts compatibility that allows you to merge the powerful plugin functionality of selecting WordPress posts to be showcased into WordPress sliders with any jQuery slider script.

As you may already know, creating beautiful WordPress sliders with Featured Articles is very easy. If you display special offers or product lines at a special discount, you may need your WordPress slider to unpublish at a later time, when your offer expires. With Featured Articles for WordPress, this becomes a seamless task since this feature is directly built into the plugin.

The easy way to create a custom post type slider in WordPress is to use a plugin that can at least do the following:

• select the posts according to their post type,
• have an interface to put the posts into the right order,
• have a slider script that will display the posts,
• have various ways of publishing the sliders into your WordPress pages.

After almost a half year work, Featured Articles PRO 3.0 is available for download here on CodeFlavors. This version is a complete rewrite of the plugin and we hope you will love it as much as we loved making it.

The general idea of the plugin is pretty much the same as with previous versions, create sliders in WordPress from posts/pages and custom post types and display them anywhere in your website. What comes as a plus is the slider theme editor which is now more like the WordPress theme editor, giving you a live preview of your whole website while you edit a slider theme.
