Summary of this Tutorial:
Start by installing and activating the Soliloquy plugin and activating your license.
You will need the developer level license for this.
Click the addons tab then find, install, and activate the Featured Content and Themes addons.
Create a new slider under Soliloquy, Add New and you will see an option for featured content that you will want to select.
You can select specific posts or leave it blank to use all posts.
Sticky posts can also be included to add at the start of the slider.
The post offset will skip that many posts before adding posts to the slider.
Adding a link to the post url can be good to allow a direct move to the posts shown.
Fallback image is used if a post does not have an image that can be used and it can be anything you like.
And many more options available for styling the slider.
After clicking publish you can add the slider using the shortcode or adding the template tag to your theme’s files.
