To display WordPress content slide on your website you have to add following lines of code inside your themes .php files.

<?php if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } ?>

Example if you want to display this slider in your header then you have to edit the header.php file. Just open header.php from your current theme in any editor and add

<?php if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } ?>

lines at the location where you want to display the slider.

Slider Only On Home Page

In some cases you just want to display slider only on the home page in this case you have selected a page as home page from the settings->reading section.
And if your home page is using default page template then you have to add following lines of code in your page.php at the location where you want to display the slider.

<?php if(is_front_page()) { if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } } ?>

Using above code the slider will be displayed only on home page.

Slider on a Specific page

If you want to display slider on a specific page say ‘about’ then you have to use wordpress conditional tags

<?php if(is_page('about')) { if(function_exists('wp_content_slider')) { wp_content_slider(); } } ?>

Hi,

Nice plugin and your attention to it is appreciated, but I noticed recently that you added alt=”image_src” to the images in the html.

Could you either make that editable for the whole plugin or just leave it out altogether? It’s kind of ruining my SEO..

Thanks,
Phil

Hi NIlesh,

Thanks a lot for this plugin. Its very useful.

Maybe I am doing something wrong, I am facing a couple of issues.

1. When I use any effect except “fade”, the picture is not within the frame of the slideshow. The slideshow only shows a part of the picture (zoomed in)
2. When I use fade effect, the picture is resized to the size of slideshow frame. However, slideshow stops at the second image (I have 5 images listed in the settings).

Could you please help me out here?

Thanks,
Bharath

      Yes I did that..I thought that was for sizing it so that it fits in my page..
      
      I am a bit confused – what should the width and height be set to?
      
      If I set it to the real dimensions (4000 x 2000), I have the same problem..only part of the slider appears on the page…
      
      Is the only solution to resize all images to the slider size? I am guessing there should be another way to do it…or I am doing something wrong..
      
      Can you please help ?
      
      Thanks,
      Bharath

        i didn’t added image resize options as i dont want too many scripts added to the plugin. As this is a featured slider most of the users create images with same dimensions like the actual slider width height.

how to do that slider consistent with the wc3 validator?

I have a problem with: “document type does not allow element “h4” here; missing one of “object”, “applet”, “map”, “iframe”, “button”, “ins”, “del” start-tag”

btw. this slider is THE BEST 🙂

    You have h4 inside a span – content_slide.php – which will not validate.

Hi Snilesh,

I’m having a similar problem to others, the stacking image problem.

I’m using a theme called Simplo.

The is there, right before however there is a lot more code after it.
code plus a menu section before the end of the header.php code.

The theme also comes with the Pretty Photo Lightbox plugin built-in, maybe could that be the problem? The Javascript for this is located right before the

So it goes:
blah blah

blah blah

<body >
body code continues to bottom of header.php code then continues again on page/index.php

Any ideas?

Thanks Nilesh,

That fixed the problem. The email I entered is working fine, actually could you please remove it from your last comment so I don’t get lots of spam there.

Thanks again, I really appreciate the speed at which you are able to fix these problems. Excellent support and a great plugin too by the way! 🙂
