Getting started
To test the set up, include the short code [the-slider] anywhere on a page. This should show you the demo slider.
The syntax
If that works, we can move to the next step. You can add parameters to the short code to control the behaviour of the slider, the syntax is as follows:
[the-slider parameter1=value1,parameter2=value,paramter3=value3,...]
The parameters
- - cat: post category from which to select the posts
- - max: maximum number of posts to include
Examples
[the-slider cat=3,max=4] will include 4 posts of post category 3 in the slider
FAQ
Can I include the slider multiple times on a page?
Yes, absolutely, you can put the slider short code anywhere on a page and multiple times, using different parameters for each slider.
How do I add images?
Simply set a featured image for your post. The slider will pick up the featured image and display it. Best sizes are 400px by 250 px.
