    Hi

    I’m using #3 Latest News in the footer of my clients site.
    Is there anyway to animate this so it brings up a series of news stories in rotation

    or is there a way of adding a post slider into a footer widget?

    Currently I just have one news /post item visible

    thanks

    Hi alfengland!

    Yes you can use the post slider in the footer widget areas. Drag a text widget over and add this.

    [av_postslider link='category' columns='1' items='3' offset='0' contents='excerpt' preview_mode='custom' image_size='thumbnail' autoplay='no' interval='5']

    Regards,
    Elliott

    Hi Elliot

    That’s excellent
    How can I add the post date and time?
    Also the image seems to have a margin above it and I can’t work out how to remove this.

    Thanks again

    Hey!

    Try adding this to your custom CSS.

    #footer .avia-content-slider {
    margin-top: 0 !important;
}
.avia-content-slider .slide-meta { display: block !important; }

    Cheers!

    Hi Elliot

    That’s great….

    Sorry more questions

    How do I make the image an 80×80 thumbnail with the title of the post to the right (as per the standard Enfold Child Latest News widget layout)

    thanks

    Hey!

    Hmm, it’s kind of bordering on custom work. You can use this CSS.

    #footer .slide-entry a { 
width: 80px !important;
height: 80px !important;
float: left !important;
margin-right:10px !important;
}

    But that’s not going to look very good. It would probably be best to use the content slider instead and manually insert your content.

    Cheers!
