    I am looking to rotate small posts (poems) on the home page so that they fade in and out. I am currently using Infinity Pro. I've placed a featured post widget in Front Page 2 widget section and it fades in and looks exactly how I would like.

    Is there any way to set it so that it will rotate through additional featured posts?

    I tried using Genesis Responsive Slider but it looks like the front page of Infinity Pro is not formatted to handle the slider as it doesn't display properly.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Soliloquy has a featured content add-on that do what you want, but it's a premium feature so it costs money.

    Thanks Victor. Do you know if it will handle just text? It looks like it's main focus is images.

    Ideally, we want to eventually be able to curate user generated poems what will automatically go into rotation once approved by admin.

    Front Page 2 widget in Infinity Pro is pretty much the styling I'm trying to obtain. The Genesis Responsive Slider didn't work in that space though. Maybe I'll try with Soliloquy Light to see if it works.

    I Elegance is designed to work with Sililoquy. Maybe I'll experiment with that theme.

    Tried a couple of sliders with Infinity Pro and they didn't seem to work. That Front Page 2 widget space is fairly highly customized. Anyone know how to custom program the featured post widget so it will rotate post content?

    (I'm good at copying and pasting code)

    If you use Soliloquy, you don't use the Featured Post widget. Also, modifying the featured post widget to rotate text is an enormous task.

    This site uses Soliloquy to rotate text testimonials. https://businessleadersclub.com/

    Thanks Victor. I'm assuming that Soliloquy needs the Featured Content addon to make it work though correct?
