<p>This is an ultra-minimal no-frills responsive and accessible image carousel / slider.</p>
<p>There are many robust image slider plugins already. They work well and have a lot of features, some with even more features at the premium tier.<br />
I’m not saying that they don’t have their place but that sometimes they are excessive.</p>
<p>This plugin is for someone who just wants to have linked images scroll by in a loop on their website.</p>
<h3>How To Use</h3>
<p>No BS Image Slider works by leveraging what WordPress already provides, by creating a new custom post type and taxonomy.</p>
<ol>
<li>To begin, create your slides by using the Image Slide type. Be sure to add a featured image, and provide a link in the link field. Captions can be supplied by filling out the exerpt.</li>
<li>Create a slider by adding an Image Slider taxonomy. This allows a slide to be in multiple sliders.</li>
<li>Use the No BS Image Slider widget to configure which slider you want displayed, and the duration of each slide.</li>
</ol>
<p>A great <a href="https://planetjon.ca/4778/making-an-image-carousel-with-no-bs-image-slider" title="Making an image carousel with No BS Image Slider" rel="nofollow ugc">rundown of the plugin</a> is available on the Planetjon blog.</p>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>To manually insert a slider, use the shortcode [nbis].<br />
You must provide at minimum the slider slug.</p>
<p>The shortcode attributes are</p>
<ul>
<li>slider=”slug”</li>
<li>duration=”number” (seconds, default 5)</li>
<li>transition=”number” (seconds, default 1.25)</li>
<li>showcounter=”yes|no” (default no)</li>
<li>lazy=”yes|no” (default no)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Widget</h3>
<p>A widget that exposes all of the above options is available.</p>


No BS Image Slider

Being a minimalist, and needing a replacement for a slider plugin now abandoned, I found this plugin - and reading the description I thought "Wow, sounds great".

And it is. After installing it (it's a small but non-trivial learning curve to use) I downloaded and unpacked the source. I could hardly believe my eyes! One PHP file, 8.665 bytes; and one CSS file, 1.429 bytes. That's IT. And btw it's really well written, the author is obviously a good, modern programmer.

The sliders are custom 'tags', the slider images are custom posts (I think). Strange is, that you have to supply a 'Featured Image' and an image link for each slide, then it works - slides shown in the order of their creation. Just change the creation date to modify the order (untried).

One thing I found not so obvious in the UI at first: On hover over the slider then a 'paused' icon is displayed top left and the slider is indeed paused. As soon as the mouse goes away, the icon disappears and the animation continues. But at first I thought the paused icon was a button to click to cause a pause, and since it did not I thought the plugin was broken. Silly me, but perhaps there is a way to do it even more clearly?

It is now live on the homepage of a german apothecary.

BTW minimalists might want to pair this with WP Featherlight as a lightbox.

5 stars really well earned - thanks Jonathan!

Wow REALLY minimalistic
