Creating a Slider
1.Create a Slider:
After installing and activating the plugin, go to Post Type Slider in the WordPress admin sidebar. 
Click Add New to create a new slider. 
Give your slider a title and configure the settings (e.g., Autoplay, Speed, Slides per view).
2.Select Posts for the Slider:
Under the “Select Posts” meta box, choose which posts you want to include in the slider by checking the boxes next to the posts. 
You can select as many posts as you want to display in the slider.
3.Set Featured Content:
You can add a featured image or a featured video for each post that will be displayed on the slider. 
Use the Featured Video URL option in the post editor to add a video URL. 
If the post does not have a featured video, the plugin will fall back to the featured image.
4.Configure Slider Settings:
Choose whether to enable Autoplay for the slider. 
Adjust the Speed of the slides (in milliseconds). 
Select how many slides should be visible at a time using the Slides per View setting. 
Customize additional settings like loop behavior and navigation arrows.
5.Generate Shortcode:
After saving the slider, you’ll see a Slider Shortcode box on the slider edit page. 
Copy the shortcode, which will look something like this: <code>[post_type_slider id="123"]</code>. 
Paste the shortcode anywhere on your site, in posts, pages, or widgets, to display the slider.
