Featured Posts Slider in Thesis WordPress Theme

Posted: 10 May 2011 12:50 PM PDT

You can almost do everything with the Premium WordPress Theme Thesis. Changes of all kinds are possible and some of which I have presented to you. In this tutorial we will build a slider into our theme and showcase the best articles.

If one is working on Thesis Theme, you realize how easy it is to import the best parts of other themes or rebuild them. The Thesis theme has made a name through the support of SEO, typography and flexibility. The following is a screenshot of a smooth slider that is configured for Thesis.

And here comes the tutorial. I show you how a dynamic content slider can plug in your site. We use this plugin “Smooth Slider, ” which works very well with WordPress and Thesis. I could not find any conflicts.
Smooth Slider plugin install

Log in to your blog Dashboard
In the left navigation menu under plugin on “Install ”
Looking for a plugin with the name “Smooth slider and click”Install “to download the plugin and configure
Activate the plugin installation yet to be stopped

An article or a page to add Slider

Edit the article you want to have the slider. In each article you’ll see at the bottom the option to add Slider Smooth ‘. If you there is a check mark and save the article you have added an article to the slider.
Smooth Slider configure

Dashboard log-ins
Links to the menu item “Settings”button
Smooth Slider select

Here are the basics settings such as height, width, etc. After all the settings you have made, we go into the installation in the Thesis Theme.

Fit Smooth Slider in the Thesis Theme

The slider is mounted on the homepage. There are other ways to install the slider, for example, the individual contributions. We limit ourselves this time but only on the home page.
The following code is add into the custom_functions.php. The easiest is using the Custom File Editor.

//Featured Content Slider

function content_slider() { ?>
<?php if (is_home()){ ?>

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘get_smooth_slider’ ) ) { get_smooth_slider(); } ?>
<?php }
}
add_action(‘thesis_hook_before_content’, ‘content_slider’);

If you have installed the code, save the file and you can now use the Smooth slider.

Conclusion

To create a slider for the best article definitely has advantages. So you can pick up older items as back to front or to hold the visitors to the site. The bounce rate is falling and this is very advantageous for the blog. However, the slider also has the disadvantage that it the load times a little screwed up. But that’s what a lot of tools, you can use to reduce loading time of your blog again.

SEO for tags and categories # Thesis Theme Tutorial

The Thesis Theme advertises SEO optimized settings and features. And indeed, the Premium Theme some settings that you search in vain in WordPress. Here the tutorial how to use them.

Tags and categories are, in my view far too rarely noticed feature. I myself have only recently begun to question me to care a little more intense. A possible error that has already cost some visitors.

The Thesis Feature

How to deal with tags and categories in WordPress, I have described in this article: WordPress Tutorial – Tags and categories for search engine optimization

The Thesis theme has the effect still a great feature. While wordpress does not offer other options as the title and description, you can use the Thesis theme also add keywords.

Optimize Tags in Thesis

As in WordPress and you get to the settings of the tags through the admin menu. The tags are a sub-item of the menu item “article”. Did you choose this option, you can edit the desired day

The Title option
I leave the track as it is mostly because I think that the day itself says more than enough.

The Description

The description is however in a web page, at best, a maximum of 150 characters, which describe what the user expects to my site. Here I try in addition to the actual keyword and one or two or three synonyms to use.

The keywords

As the name already suggests that an ideal way for the main keywords and synonyms to bring under. Exactly this feature is one that characterizes the Thesis Theme.
Categories optimize

Every article you write will be assigned to one or more categories. These can edit it just as the tag. In the bottom picture you see what I mean. The categories can be reached just like the tags on the “menu item. There, select the option categories.

WordPress

Although the thesis is suitable theme for the optimization, one can also use this in WordPress without the Thesis Theme. You will learn how to do this in the article:
Conclusion

Thesis offers the best opportunity to use categories and tags for search engine optimization. I am of the opinion that such options in today’s competition, which is everywhere, certainly should use it more extensively and thus must employ. If in the results of the search engines do not show up in the back wants.

And you?

You Optimistic your tags and categories or is that exaggerated or even in your nonsense? Write me!
