4. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
5. Click on Content slide in your wordpress dashboard and configure content slide plugin options.
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(); } } ?>

I installed this plugin and it works great with custom images and links. But when selecting a category it does not work. All I get is an empty box. 🙁
do you have post inside that directory with images added using the wordpress featured thumbnail feature?
show me link where you installed this plugin
Is there a way to put it in a post or page? instead of the header.php.
It messes up my theme. Also anyway to have more than one of these running with different images?
Thank you
check again… upload 1.4.1 files again i changed some files in the plugin.
How insert text on the images? Like slide 1 of this site: #content-slide-plugin
Thanks!
login to wp-admin and go to “Content Slide” page there you will find options to add text to images. first select display heading text
How would I go about changing the height of the slider, right now my images get cut off. I have tried changing the height in the content_slide.php file but that doesn’t seem to work. Thanks!
login to wp-admin and check “Content Slide” options page.. there you will find option to edit the height of the slider.
thanks im using this, looking for slide show that can use external image hosting~
external images options is not available.
Hi – me again – was wondering can anyone help – so far no luck. I would like if the images were NOT active links – either to another page or the page the slider is on.
Snilesh tried a ‘fix’ but has removed it again.
Can ANYONE help me out – how can I simply make the images not active links??
I don’t know how to access the css and so on?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Ed
i rollback to previous version as there was some errors in the version 1.4 . i will release the next version today. which contain feature which i removed….
Very nice Slider! Question. Everytime I do a refresh or change to another page I see very fast all the images. Is there a way to hide this?
I placed in the header
Thx
Is there any way of having two different sliders with different dimensions and content in different templates?
I am working on it.
Hi Snilesh.
You said you were going to release the new version again with the feature you removed (having the slides link to the slide container) Just wondering if you were still going to do this.
Also a friend gave me a good tip on how to make it look like the slides aren’t active.
Just add this code to the style sheet
.cs-wpcontent_slider { cursor:default }
It makes the cursor remain as a pointer instead of changing to the hand when you hover over the slider images so it is less obvious they are links.
