Adding slick slider to front page
-
Hello,
I made HTML/CSS design of a web site, and now I need to convert it to WordPress. The part that I am working on right now is Adding slick slider to show only on my WP front page. It works perfectly in HTML (because there I incorporated javascript which could be found on actual slick slider website and initiated through 3 div elements with images inside.).
In WP functions.php I added:
//Add slider add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' ); function create_post_type() { register_post_type( 'slider', array( 'labels' => array( 'name' => __( 'Sliders' ), 'singular_name' => __( 'Slider' ), 'add_new' => 'Add new slide', ), 'public' => true, ) ); } ?>
I also enqueued scripts and styles like this (in functions.php also):
`//Enqueue scripts
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘wp_enqueue_all_scripts’, 999);function wp_enqueue_all_scripts(){
//add slick slider
wp_register_style(‘slickcss’, get_template_directory_uri().”/slick/slick.css” );
wp_register_style(‘slickcsstheme’, get_template_directory_uri().”/slick/slick-theme.css” );//load slick js
wp_register_script(‘slickslider’, get_template_directory_uri().”/slick/slick.min.js”, array(jquery), ”, true );////load slick initiate script
wp_register_script( ‘slickinit’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/assets/js/slick-init.js’);// load slick on homepage
if ( is_front_page() ) {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘slickcss’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘slickcsstheme’ );
wp_enqueue_script (‘slickslider’);
wp_enqueue_script (‘slickinit’);
}
}`I added slick.init in js folder and it looks like this:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){ $('.featured-image-slider').slick({ //add CSS class of target infinite: true, slidesToShow: 3, slidesToScroll: 1, autoplay: true, autoplaySpeed: 2000, }) });
I made front-page.php and I put the code in there like this:
<?php get_header(); ?> <?php // WP_Query arguments $args = array ( 'post_type' => array( 'slider' ), ); // The Query $query_slider = new WP_Query( $args ); // The Loop if ( $query_slider->have_posts() ) { echo '<div class="home regular slider">'; while ( $query_slider->have_posts() ) { $query_slider->the_post(); echo '<div> '; the_post_thumbnail(); echo '</div>'; } echo '</div>'; } else { // no posts found } // Restore original Post Data wp_reset_postdata(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?>
When I go to Sliders -> Add new slide in my dashboard, the slide is not showing on my front page. I am going out of my mind and would really appreciate help. How do I resolve this, what am I doing wrong? I am a total newbie and for the life of me I can not resolve it myself. Thank you.
