Your latest post or your latest posts? And in the slider replacing the image or what?
Well, it took a while but here you go:
// Remap a slide's button to the latest post
add_filter('tc_slide_link_url' , 'my_slide_custom_link', 10, 2);
function my_slide_custom_link( $slide_link , $image_id ) {
// Do nothing if the slide's image id is not the targeted one
// CHANGE THIS NUMBER TO YOUR SLIDE IMAGE NUMBER
if ( 489 != $image_id )
return $slide_link;
// Get the first of the recent posts ("reset" picks the first post in the array of posts)
$myLatestPost = reset(wp_get_recent_posts( array('numberposts' => '1') ) );
// Get its permalink, based on ID
$myLatestPostURL = get_permalink($myLatestPost["ID"]);
//set a custom url for the targeted slide
return $myLatestPostURL;
}
This drew heavily on this post of nikeo’s, which showed how to map a whole slide or just the button to an external link.
You need to change the image ID number to the one that corresponds to your slide. Nikeo used a a picture that shows you how to find the id of the image.
I’m not a php nor WordPress expert, so there may be better ways of coding this.
Let us know how you get on!
d4z_c0nf has pointed out a better way (thanks!), which avoids using the php reset function, as it doesn’t work in some cases. Try this:
// Remap a slide's button to the latest post
add_filter('tc_slide_link_url' , 'my_slide_custom_link', 10, 2);
function my_slide_custom_link( $slide_link , $image_id ) {
// Do nothing if the slide's image id is not the targeted one
// CHANGE THIS NUMBER TO YOUR SLIDE IMAGE NUMBER
if ( 489 != $image_id )
return $slide_link;
// Get the first of the recent posts ("reset" picks the first post in the array of posts)
$myLatestPost = wp_get_recent_posts( array('numberposts' => '1') )[0];
// Get its permalink, based on ID
$myLatestPostURL = get_permalink($myLatestPost["ID"]);
//set a custom url for the targeted slide
return $myLatestPostURL;
}
See the notes above on how to use.
