// cpt-slider.php

function create_slider_post_type() {
    $labels = array(
        'name'               => _x( 'Sliders', 'post type general name', 'textdomain' ),
        'singular_name'      => _x( 'Slider', 'post type singular name', 'textdomain' ),
        'menu_name'          => _x( 'Sliders', 'admin menu', 'textdomain' ),
        'name_admin_bar'     => _x( 'Slider', 'add new on admin bar', 'textdomain' ),
        'add_new'            => _x( 'Add New', 'slider', 'textdomain' ),
        'add_new_item'       => __( 'Add New Slider', 'textdomain' ),
        'new_item'           => __( 'New Slider', 'textdomain' ),
        'edit_item'          => __( 'Edit Slider', 'textdomain' ),

        'all_items'          => __( 'All Sliders', 'textdomain' ),
        'search_items'       => __( 'Search Sliders', 'textdomain' ),
        'parent_item_colon'  => __( 'Parent Sliders:', 'textdomain' ),
        'not_found'          => __( 'No sliders found.', 'textdomain' ),
        'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No sliders found in Trash.', 'textdomain' )
    );

    $args = array(
        'labels'             => $labels,
        'public'             => true,
        'publicly_queryable' => true,
        'show_ui'            => true,
        'show_in_menu'       => true,
        'query_var'          => true,
        'rewrite'            => array( 'slug' => 'slider' ),
        'capability_type'    => 'post',
        'has_archive'        => true,
        'hierarchical'       => false,
        'menu_position'      => null,
        'supports'           => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail' )
    );

    register_post_type( 'slider', $args );
}

add_action( 'init', 'create_slider_post_type' );

Step 5: Save the changes to "cpt-slider.php".

Step 6: Go to your WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to "Sliders" to add new sliders.

Step 7: Add the following code to your theme's functions.php file to enqueue the necessary scripts for the slider:

// functions.php

function enqueue_slider_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'slider-script', 'path/to/slider-script.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0', true );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'slider-style', 'path/to/slider-style.css', array(), '1.0' );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_slider_scripts' );

Step 8: Create a new folder named "js" inside the theme directory.

Step 9: Inside the "js" folder, create a new file named "slider-script.js" and add your slider script code.

Step 10: Create a new folder named "css" inside the theme directory.

Step 11: Inside the "css" folder, create a new file named "slider-style.css" and add your slider styling code.

Step 12: Customize the slider script and styles according to your design preferences.
