I’m building a site for a client where I will have a custom post type that I’m creating for events. I want to have a slider on the home page with automatically generated content that pulls the featured image, title and excerpt from posts in that custom post type. Is there anything built into any of your themes or plugins that will allow this? I know in Virtue there is an option under Theme Options > Home Slider to do “Latest Posts”, but even though I have created blog posts it doesn’t show anything and I don’t see a way to configure it. I also looked in Ascend and found under Theme Options > Home Page Header to do “Post Carousel” and I can choose different custom post types, but it’s a carousel.

I can do some basic coding to do it if there’s an option to tie into the slider system. If there’s not a way to do this, that’s fine as well. I will look for another solution.
