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(); } ?>

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.

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

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

Is there any way to use an image map on any one of the images in the rotation?
not.. now can you give more details. so i can note down for the next version release
This plug in is pretty cool and thank you so much for creating this. I am not versed in php however is it possible for you to stick a target option into your next version? Right now if you click on the slate it’s keeping it in the same window so this is for the option should we wish to go to a new window. And also about the SEO friendly version, when might that be ready?
Thank you very much
It will be available in next plugin version.
Yes there is issue with images stack vertically when you have more images in the slider. Right now i am working on solution for it by pre loading images. it will be available in next version.
What I did to combat the problem was to put the code in a div and set the height to the same as the images (if they all the same height) and then add overflow:hidden;
Hi Guys,
I am new to this plugin and want to know how I overlay text on the image?
Can’t seem to find the answer anywhere.
Anyone point me in the right direction please?
Done a refresh and all has appeared!!! DOH!
All sorted now.
Fab plugin
good.. finally you installed ..
check documentation of the plugin..
show me link where you installed this plugin?
HI. I have a very basic question. I have installed the plugin in the HTML section of tha homepage that I want the slideshow to be on and am excited to see it work, but do not see where to upload the pictures I want as a slideshow.
Forgive me. I have never done ANYTHING like this before and an fumbling around. I’m almost there but need a bit of help with this one part.
Cheers, and thank you in advance.

This is exactly the plug-in I was looking for. There is however one thing that bugs me. I love the fade effect, but when activating this effect, the navigation buttons and arrows disapear! I’d really like to use the effect AND the navigation buttons.
Is this done on purpose or is this a tiny bug?
Thanks,
Auke
FADE effect don’t have navigation buttons
Oh, that’s a portugal. Any chance it will be included in a future release?
Sorry for the type errors. It’s’ s a pity that the effect can’t be combined with the navigation buttons. Any chance it will be included in a future release?
Second thing I noticed is that when publishing content from a category, for some reason the number of displayed items is limited by the age of the post. It does seem to go back approximatly 2 months; older posts are not displayed. Any clues on this?
Ok, this last thing was my own fault; the posts that did not show up, did not have the featured image set :$
How is it able to add a heading and a text (description of the displayed page) into the slide?
thx
think123
so you want to add current page heading and description on the overlay text?
Great plugin! All useful plugins I use get a donation from me every year so thanks again!
I have one question: In “Image source settings” under: “Use custom images?” I select: “No, using posts from a category.” With the correct category in question. The posts with the category all have a “featured image” attached to it, which shows in the slide.
HOWEVER the image is tiled instead of showing the entire image only is there any fix to this?
Yes there is issue with images tiled if they are small in width as compared to the slideshow width. I am still working on the next release. I will try to sort out this bug in next version this plugin.
Great job Snilesh on your quick and prompt responses! I haven’t seen a plugin writer more dedicated to their work.
Its refreshing to see someone who is out there to help people, Kudos!
