We'll create fresh WordPress site with Fancy News installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
With this wordpresss plugin you can create a news slider easily and you can add any type of post to it (except pages). You can also select post by taxonomies and terms. If you would like to load the content of a RSS feed, thats also possible.
To add Fancy News to a page, you have to add the shortcode for it. The plugin comes with a helpful Shortcode Builder, that can be found under Tools > Fancy News. Here you set the content for a News slider and set some other options.
