    Hi! Any chance you know what slider was used on this site (with the text under the large picture? I want one that is simple and just like that with only text and a link to "learn more" taking people to a specific page on the site.

    thanks!!!

    That site isn't done in WordPress, and the scroller isn't a slider plugin, it appears to be a custom bit of javascript code that scrolls through a list of pre-configured HTML pages.

    That said, does what you need have to be a slider or scroller? A page with a series of Featured Page widgets could accomplish a similar effect, unless it's the scrolling part you want more than the list of pages?

    I guess it could be something that is static. I really just need boxes that look like the one on that side with text. For example, it will say "Prenuptial Agreements" and "learn more" where someone can click on it and be taken to the Prenuptial agreements page. I'm looking for something easy. 🙂

    Look at the demos for Enterprise Pro and Executive Pro child themes. They have spaces on the front where Featured Pages are set up as widgets, and you don't have to include any image with them.

    You can add widget areas like that to any front page, if the theme you're using doesn't already have them.

    Cool! So I set up the Featured Pages, but it only works well in the Home-Bottom Widget. I really want it to go below the photo/image at the top. When I put the "Featured Pages" Widgets in the Home-Top Widget, it basically just spanned across the entire width of the site (that meant they were also no longer in "boxes", which is ideally what I want. Any ideas?

    Here's the site I'm working on: http://hdfamilylawgroup.com/

    Also, I need there to be 5 "boxed" areas (like how there are 5 featured pages widgets) and I want them to be 5 in a row/horizontally. Right now it's set up to only allow 3 lined up horizontally.

    You would have to do some CSS work to change that top widget area to have the same "configuration" as the bottom area, and then change the sizing to allow for 5 instead of 3, but after that you should be all set!
