Frequently Asked Questions
** How do I insert the carousel? **
First of all, install and activate the plugin. Go to ‘Slick Carousel’ in the WordPress admin pages and add some images. Then, insert the carousel using the <code>[slick-carousel]</code> into the body of any page.
** Can I insert the carousel into a WordPress template instead of a page? **
Absolutely – you just need to use the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">do_shortcode</a> WordPress function. For example:
 
** Can I change the order that the images display in? **
You can specify the order that the carousel displays images by changing the setting in the Settings page, or by using the <code>orderby</code> and <code>order</code> shortcode attributes. The settings page has common settings, or you can use any terms described for the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_Query orderby terms</a> for the shortcode.
** Can I have different carousels with different images on the same site? **
Yes – create a few categories and add your specific images to a specific category. Then, when inserting the shortcode into the page, specify which category you want it to display images from using the <code>category</code> shortcode attribute.
** Can I customise the way it looks / works? **
The carousel shortcode has a number of attributes that you can use to customise the output.
