* Hi all,
* I’ve raw html like this to display the images in a slider form :
* My requirement is to add slider above the featured images on home page. So, if
i add this raw html inside a variable using this [snippet](http://www.themesandco.com/snippet/add-content-above-featured-pages/),
is it a really good practice?
* I’ve tried adding small slider using plugins, but, none worked great for me.
Could anyone suggest a solution to this.

* For reference, [see this image](http://imgur.com/BVa0mfv)(it will be moving)
* Thanks

* If you don’t like Customizr’s slider, then Metaslider is a good option. There
is also a pro version (which I don’t have) which offers even more functions.

* [@electricfeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/electricfeet/): I’ve two
questions. Firstly, is marquee an example of meta slider?
* Secondly, Is it a good practice to include raw html inside a php variable using
snippet for adding content above featured images?
* Plus,actually, my requirement cannot be fulfilled by using Customizr slider as
the image size is very small (basically a logo of partners).
* Thanks

* No, I don’t think Metaslider does marquee. [Flexslider2](http://flexslider.woothemes.com/basic-carousel.html)
seems to, but it’s not in the WP repository, so I don’t know how good it is (
I’ve never used it). But it’s from Woothemes, so it should be pretty reliable.
* [Royal slider](http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/royal-slider/) gets good reviews,
but again it’s not in the WP repo and it’s also a paid plugin. They don’t do
marquee, but they do an iOS-style “Gallery with Visible Nearby Images”.
* Here’s a codepen that makes the underlying bootstrap carousel (of Customizr)
do what you want: [http://codepen.io/szymipl/pen/nLdiI](http://codepen.io/szymipl/pen/nLdiI)
but I’ve no idea how good the code is. It requires javascript—about which I know
very little— so I cannot help, I’m afraid.
* Re the good practice: not often, but sometimes 🙂 Not if the text is changing—
it’s not the sort of thing you’d give an editor, for example. But if it’s something
like a tagline that wouldn’t generally change, it’s OK. If your setup doesn’t
allow for it, you could take a different approach and drag a page in like in
[this snippet](http://www.themesandco.com/snippet/enter-text-posts-static-blog-page/).

* p.s. with may sliders (including metaslider free), you can specify the size of
the slider easily, so you can make it as small as you need for your logo.

* [@electricfeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/electricfeet/): Thanks a
lot for giving me too many workarounds for slider.
But, my basic question is
if is not a good practice to include too much html into a php variable (i’m also
very scared to put too much html inside php variable ), then could you tell me
any workaround for that.
* So far, i found that snippet only to put some content above the featured images,
but, in that putting html inside php is very scary.
* So, is there any other solution?

* With Metaslider—as with Customizr—your text is in the slider, not in php.
* I think it would be helpful to take a step back and ask: What exactly are you
trying to achieve?

* One question: I’ve d’loaded meta slider plugin, but, i need to implement on home
page above the featured images, so, how do i paste the shortcode inside a home
page?

* Look at this [snippet](http://www.themesandco.com/snippet/add-content-below-slider/),
but look down the comments where Nic posted a solution.

* I got the snippet working, but my requirement slightly differs from this. What
i need is, 4 boxes **at a time** (with four different images shown), and then
next 4 images and so on.
* So, the slider will act for more than one image(may be 3 or 4), not for single
image.
* So, [@rdellconsulting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdellconsulting/)/
Electric feet: Could you recommend anything else or any workaround. See this
[image](http://imgur.com/BVa0mfv). Need something like this.

* Yes, i can give you the [url](http://ankitelectricals.com/).
* The slider is just above the footer.

* Looks to me like its using [WP Slick Slider](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-slick-slider/).
Did you investigate that (don’t see it mentioned above)?
* Not much documentation on their [website](http://www.tigerstrikemedia.com/plugins/wp-slick-slider/)

* I searched slick slider, but, its reviews are bad and in fact it is not compatible
with 3.9.1. So, will try something else. Anyways, thanks a lot.

* It has 2 bad reviews, one of which didn’t like where it places itself on the
WordPress dashboard–which is purely a subjective view and nothing to do with
the functionality of the slider..
* What makes you say it’s not compatible with 3.9.1? It seems to have been updated
quite recently.
