Creating CSS Sliders Without Javascript
This library is created using only CSS3 and HTML5. The advantage of using the slider plugin is lightweight and has a good animation display.
Here is a piece of the CSS slider code that I took from the official site codeconvey.com
There is 1 main CSS file that is used so that the slider can run normally, namely component.css
component.css

If run on your browser, the CSS slider result like the following gif image below:
You can download the complete project on http://codeconvey.com/pure-css-image-slider
How? Cool and easy right? the question is, how can the script above run on the WordPress CMS? I will share the code to make the CSS slider plugin working normally on your WordPress.
Migrate the CSS Slider Library to the WordPress Plugin
- Download the css slider source code in http://codeconvey.com/pure-css-image-slider.
- Create a folder called css-slider.
- Create a file named css-slider.php in the css-slider folder.
- Copy and paste the component.css file into the css-slider folder.
- Copy the images folder on the original source into the css-slider folder.
- Change the bit of code in component.css so the next and prev navigation image can display properly like the following code snippet
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 | #slide1:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(2), #slide2:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(3), #slide3:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(4), #slide4:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(5), #slide5:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(1) { background: url('images/next.png') no-repeat; float: right; margin: 0 10px 0 0; display: block; background-color:#ef023f; } #slide1:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(5), #slide2:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(1), #slide3:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(2), #slide4:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(3), #slide5:checked ~ #controls label:nth-child(4) { background: url('images/prev.png') no-repeat; float: left; margin: 0 0 0 17px; display: block; background-color:#ef023f; } |
Copy the following code in the css-slider.php file
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 | <?php /* Plugin Name: CSS Slider Plugin URI: https://seegatesite.com Description: CSS Slider For Wordpress Without JS Version: 1.0 Author: Sigit prasetya nugroho Author URI: https://seegatesite.com/ Raw Source Url: http://codeconvey.com/pure-css-image-slider */ /* This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

How to use the css-slider plugin on WordPress
- compress the css-slider folder into zip format.
- Install on your WordPress site.
- Put the following code to display the slider on the WordPress page, usually placed these code in the index.php file under <body>.
1 | <?php if ( function_exists('sgt_css_slider_show') ) { sgt_css_slider_show(); } ?> |
The results are as follows
Noteworthy in the query_posts section, you can change it as needed.
1 | query_posts( array( 'posts_per_page' => 5, 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'order' => 'DESC' ) ); |
