Post Slider Module
The Post Slider reuses the familiar Divi slider experience while the query is driven by Machine fields (post type, categories, tags, custom taxonomy, ACF filters, and order).
Overview
Place the module on any layout that should highlight a small set of posts in a sliding strip—home heroes, related items, or category highlights.
Content: query and text
Post Type
Which content type fills the slides.
Product Display Number
How many posts participate in the slider query.
Include Categories
Limit results to specific category slugs (comma-separated). Leave empty to include all categories allowed by the rest of the query.
Include Tags (IDs comma-seperated)
Restrict to posts that carry these tag IDs.
Choose Your Taxonomy
Shown when the module is configured to filter by a custom taxonomy; pick the taxonomy before filling Include Custom Taxonomy.
Include Custom Taxonomy (comma-seperated)
Term values to match against the taxonomy selected above.
Filter By ACF Name
Select an ACF field; combine with ACF Value to only show posts whose field matches.
ACF Value
The value that must match the selected ACF field.
Order By
Preset ordering: newest/oldest date, title A-Z / Z-A, or Random.
Content Display
Show Short Description vs Show Content controls whether the body area uses the excerpt or full post content (full content is not truncated).
Use Product Short Description if Defined
When showing the short description, prefer the manual excerpt when it exists instead of auto-trimming the post.
Automatic Short Description Length
Character length for auto-generated excerpts when no manual excerpt exists (blank falls back to the default in the module).
Content: controls and links
Show Arrows
Toggle previous/next arrows on the slider chrome.
Show Controls
Shows or hides the dot navigation along the bottom.
Show Read More Button
Adds the extra CTA under the text area. When on, set Button Text for the label.
Button Text
Label for the read-more control (defaults to “Read More” when left empty).
Enable Title Link
Wraps the slide title in a link to the single post.
Enable Featured Image Link
Links the featured image to the single post.
Text Color
Light-on-dark vs dark-on-light preset for text inside slides (under Advanced → Text in the builder).
Use Design for slide typography, spacing, and button styling; Advanced exposes slide-scoped CSS selectors (title, button, controllers, arrows, image).
