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(); } } ?>

hey there!

I really like your slider, especially how you can use it without posts. But for some reason, mine is not displaying my text. Is there something I can check?

Excellent work!
I wonder why didn’t you keep these plugins at WP repository.Is there a specific reason for that?or already available there?

Thanks!

Anyway there is a shortcode to call this beautiful plugin into a particular page without having to use the php into a template page?

    Hi
    The way I did it was this. Download Executable PHP widget and place it as a widget anywhere on your site – place the php code for the slider into it and that’s it – it will appear anywhere you wish.

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue. I am using WP 2.9.1. I have the plugin 1.4.2 setup to show rotating images on a private post but only get all the images show up under each other. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

        Hi snilesh!
        I really like this plugin. I spent many hours to find this solution, and it’s perfect.
        …except that I have the same problem as Fil had. The slider can only work in fade mode. And I can see a js error in firebug.
        I haven’t changed the code, so I don’t understand it. 🙁
        …maybe another plugin cause this? gogogo.hu

Hey dude, first of all, thanks for your plugin! I’ve having an issue with it though. Installing and setting up worked just fine, but when I view the slider on the website no images or text is shown except a white area which points to an “undefined” url. Any ideas on what might cause this?

This is definitely the best slideshow plugin in terms of ease of use and functionality- nice one! It would be great if you could deploy multiple slideshows on different webpages (maybe by inserting a shortcode on each page?)as this current version doesn’t seem to be able to do this.
Still a brilliant plugin!!

Nice one

  Yes working on a new version of the plugin where you can add slideshow to each post/page with different image sets.

This is probably one of the better sliders I’ve run across yet. It transitions smoothly. Good work! Thank you!
