<p>This plugin allows you to create a simple responsive slider that displays the featured image, along with the title and excerpt from each post.</p>
<p>It includes options for the maximum dimensions of your slideshow, allows you to choose to display posts or pages, what category to pull from, and even the specific post IDs of the posts you want to display. It includes next/previous arrows and a pager along with the option to turn both on or off. Finally, you can place the slider into a widget area.</p>
<p>The slideshow is also responsive and will automatically adjust for the screen it is being displayed on.</p>
<p>Note: This plugin only supports Genesis child themes.</p>
<h3>Child Theme Integration</h3>
<p>To adjust the slider defaults for a child theme use a filter similiar to the following:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'genesis_responsive_slider_settings_defaults', 'my_child_theme_responsive_slider_defaults' );

function my_child_theme_responsive_slider_defaults( $defaults ) {
    $defaults = array(
        'post_type' => 'post',
        'posts_term' => '',
        'exclude_terms' => '',
        'include_exclude' => '',
        'post_id' => '',
        'posts_num' => 5,
        'posts_offset' => 0,
        'orderby' => 'date',
        'slideshow_timer' => 4000,
        'slideshow_delay' => 800,
        'slideshow_arrows' => 1,
        'slideshow_pager' => 1,
        'slideshow_loop' => 1,
        'slideshow_height' => 400,
        'slideshow_width' => 920,
        'slideshow_effect' => 'slide',
        'slideshow_excerpt_content' => 'excerpts',
        'slideshow_excerpt_content_limit' => 150,
        'slideshow_more_text' => '[Continue Reading]',
        'slideshow_excerpt_show' => 1,
        'slideshow_excerpt_width' => 50,
        'location_vertical' => 'bottom',
        'location_horizontal' => 'right',
        'slideshow_hide_mobile' => 1
    );
    return $defaults;
}

<p><strong>Genesis Columns Advanced is nearing the end of its life. The plugin was built for the Classic Editor and is not needed in the block Editor (Gutenberg). Critical support will still be provided in the support forum, but the plugin is no longer being actively developed. Consider transitioning to the native WordPress Columns block.</strong></p>
<p>This plugin was originally designed to generate shortcodes for every column configuration available with the column classes provided by the <a href="http://www.studiopress.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Genesis Framework</a>, hence the name. We are pleased to announce that as of version 2.0, the plugin is completely standalone and does not require Genesis. The plugin now loads its own CSS styles, which can be disabled if you desire. See the FAQ for more details. By moving away from Genesis, we have been able to add new features, such as the inclusion of fifths, and it opens the door to more enhancements in the future!</p>
<p>Shortcodes are easily added using a custom button in your WordPress editor. They can also be added manually if you so choose. See the FAQ for more details. Check out the video below for a short demo on the plugin.</p>

<p>If you have questions or would like to request additional features, such as additional utility shortcodes, please let me know in the plugin support forum.</p>


Genesis Columns Advanced

Good plugin, makes the task for column widths quick and simple. Rather than typing classes for text widgets, and wondering what to do with other widgets, simply use this plugin. I recommend it.

Also, the author is responsive to queries posted on these support forums, which can often be quite important for these sorts of plugins.

Simple to use; does what it says on the box

Adds shortcodes to easily create up to 42 different columned layouts.
