A blog slider for Elementor driven by a custom query — featured posts with image, excerpt and meta, in a full-width sweep.
Words, captions and arguments — in that order. Vantage is four photographers and one writer who says no to most of it.
The opening slider takes the newest edition from any desk. Every band further down is scoped to one. An edition can sit on two desks, so the counts below add up to more than the archive.
Studio sittings, and the frames either side of the one that ran.
Everything shot away from home, in the order it happened.
Clothes on people, photographed as people.
The craft itself — light, stock, and what went wrong.
Bodies at work, at rest, and recovering.
How the archive is built, and how it stays online.
Captions carry the lens, the light and whether the picture was set up. Nothing is quietly re-edited after the fact.
A full-bleed post slider is not a hero decoration. These are the jobs it actually does.
Point it at the newest posts and the front page changes when the desk publishes, not when someone edits a homepage.
Scope an instance to a single category and it opens that section mid-page, with its own transition and its own pace.
A landing page that needs the last eight stories and no grid: full bleed, one story at a time.
The email is one image and about two hundred words. It has never once been late.
Straight answers about what this one does, where it fits in a real build, and what it costs you to ship.

Full-bleed featured posts: one story fills the frame with its image behind the headline, category, author, date and excerpt. The Stellar Slider widget in Sky Addons for Elementor is driven by a post query, so the slides refresh themselves as you publish.
Yes. Image Animation offers Ken Burns zoom in, zoom out, pan left, pan right, pan up and zoom-plus-pan, with a duration in seconds. The motion runs on the active slide only, so the images that are waiting their turn stay still.
Pick a Content Animation — fade up, slide up, slide in, mask reveal, blur in or scale in — then set its duration, the stagger delay between lines and one of five easings. Choosing one replaces the built-in parallax motion rather than layering on top of it.
Yes. Switch the Autoplay Progress Ring on and the remaining autoplay time is drawn as a ring around the next arrow, with its own colour, track colour and thickness. It needs both autoplay and the arrows to be on, since it lives on the arrow itself.
Yes — Pagination Type offers bullets, fraction, progress bar and thumbnails, and the thumbnail option takes its own width, height, radius and an active outline colour. Bullets can also be made dynamic so a long run of posts does not fill the width.
Five: Slide, Fade, Coverflow, Flip and Cube, with Fade as the default. Fade adds a Cross Fade switch, Coverflow adds a Rotate amount, and Flip, Cube and Coverflow share a Slide Shadows switch for the depth cue.
Use Aspect Ratio rather than a height. Eight ratios are available — 1:1, 2:1, 3:2, 4:3, 8:5, 16:9, 21:9 and 9:16 — with 16:9 as the default, and a per-device Min Height acts as the floor when a long headline needs more room.
Because Visibility is set to show on desktop and hide on tablet and mobile out of the box — the icon rail runs down the side of the frame and would crowd a narrow screen. It is a per-device select, so switching it back on for mobile is one change.
Yes. Show Video reads a video URL from a custom field on each post — any ACF, SCF, Pods or plain post-meta key — and adds a play button beside the read-more button. Each button has its own text, icon, colours and hover state.
Neither. It ships in the free Sky Addons plugin, runs on free Elementor, and queries posts itself rather than relying on the theme. It does need published posts with featured images — a post without one leaves the slide with no backdrop behind the text.
