You can directly install wordpress content slide plugin from your websites admin plugin section.

Add PHP code

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(); } } ?>

excellent plugin, just a question.
There is a way to use text on title instead of the png’s?

I need to use special characters there and that way doesn’t work.

Thank you!!

Hi there,

Really love the plugin but have a question about the display order. Is there any way to make the image/banner display random? That is, display each one in a random order?

  Yes you can order images randomly. Just visit “content Slide” Option page in wp-admin dashboard. Under the “Image Source Setting” you will find “Order Images Randomly? ” just select Yes if you want images randomly.

    Thanks so much. I just realized I was using an older version. Upgraded and noticed the random option. Nice work!

Hi
Fantastic slider – is there any way to deactivate the slides linking back to the page the slider is on. I have images on the slides that people may click on because it looks like they are active because the hand comes up anywhere on the slide. I have removed any links in each slide but how do i de-activate the slide altogether from linking ANYWHERE. Am I missing something. Thanks again – this is THE best slider available. Cheers
Ed

Hey there, great plugin so far. Will there be any future plans for optimizing image rendering? Right now there is only an image size option to adjust the width/height of the slider, so all my images are stretched if they aren’t that exact size!

Thanks.

  Hi
  If you aren’t using any text (or you can just have text as part of the image you can create you own navigation arrows on each image – exactly where the real ones are – then set the title and navigation opacity to zero and the real arrows will disappear leaving the new ones visible – and the area will still be active as navigation.

Hi
I was wondering is there anyone here who can answer my question about if I can deactivate the slides as being shown as links (even if I don’t link them they link to the same page they are on – I just want to make them not active)

Doesn’t seem like anyone is answering this support post anymore and I emailed Snilesh directly but he didn’t reply so maybe he doesn’t answer questions anymore.

Can anyone else help – it would be much appreciated

Thanks

    Hi Snilesh – I appreciate you trying o fix this but now when you click on the slide itself the whole slide show jumps to the top of the browser window – it’s half fixed the problem but still isn’t very pretty when it jumps up if clicked. I guess there’s just no way to remove the link altogether?
    
    Thanks anyway

      Hi again – was just thinking that I would imagine the majority of sliders are near the top of peoples home page under the header – what if you changed #wpcontent_slider_container to #top (or whatever the words are to make it just stay at the top of the page.)
      
      and can I do this in the php page myself?
      
      Just a thought
      Thanks

Hi Nilesh,
Perfect plugin for many uses. However, my title and excerpts do only appear very quickly during transitions and then they all appear at once. Any ideas? I thought that I may have some conflicting CSS rules but I pulled out all code and still have the same result. WP v3.0.3 and wp_slider v1.4.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
