Slideshow SE

Thank you John West for bringing this fantastic plugin back to life :) I published many tutorials years ago and thought they would go to waste. But now I can keep them running and of course I have to also update some of them. 

When I have the time, I will help with the Spanish translation :)

Well done. 

Thank you

Completely free, open source plugin to easily add slideshows to your WordPress site.

<p>This isn’t the typical plugin to create Sliders: Slide Shows, Carousels, Sliders with Posts. This is a Slider with options!<br />
It supports beautiful, responsive image sliders and slide shows. And that’s not all – it also can display any regular post in a slider or slide show.<br />
You can even use Weaver Show Sliders as a Slide Show replacement for the standard WordPress [gallery] shortcode.</p>
<p>But, best of all, Weaver Show Sliders has been designed to give you options! You have more control of what content is displayed in your sliders<br />
and slide shows, as well as how that content is displayed.</p>
<p>This plugin uses the FlexSlider jQuery script for the actual slider animation.</p>
<h4>Slider Options</h4>
<p>Weaver Show Sliders has been designed to give you more control of what content is displayed in your sliders<br />
and slide shows, as well as how that content is displayed, than any other slider plugin.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add sliders using a shortcode</li>
<li>Create multiple sliders – display as many as you want anywhere you can add a shortcode</li>
<li>Slider Types: Fader, Slider, Carousel</li>
<li>Multiple Index Paging Options: none, dots, thumbnails, and sliding thumbnails</li>
<li>Slider Content: Images or Posts</li>
<li>Easy Selection of Content: use the Weaver Show Posts plugin features to select posts and individual slides</li>
<li>Add custom posts with a special post type.</li>
<li>Use the WordPress Gallery tool to define images, or add images one post at a time.</li>
<li>Many display options: Previous/Next navigation buttons, Pause/Play, Autostart show, Add links to image, Captions, Titles, Descriptions, BG color, Borders</li>
<li>A Custom CSS option allows you to add your own styling rules for the sliders. Full documentation is included about slider classes.</li>
<li>[gallery] shortcode replacement slider</li>
<li>A built-in Lightbox to responsively show your images in a full popup lightbox.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Easy to Select Content</h4>
<p>For images sliders, you can use the standard WordPress gallery generator. Simply add a [gallery] to one<br />
of the new Slider Custom Post types. You can use the standard gallery interface to select images from your<br />
Media library. That interface allows you to add captions, descriptions, even specify the order the images are shown.</p>
<p>Weaver Show Sliders requires the Weaver Show Posts plugin to specify exactly which posts (or individual images) are used for<br />
sliders you define. You can use the special Slider Post type. You can pick up a gallery from any page. Weaver<br />
Show Sliders will even automatically use the first image found on any post. Using the Weaver Show Posts filter<br />
interface, you can easily select exactly where your images and posts included in a slider originate.</p>
<p>No other slider makes it as easy to select the source of your images and posts.</p>
<p>Other options supported by Weaver Show Sliders include  more sizing and layout options;<br />
more control over how images are displayed with titles, captions, and descriptions;<br />
support for Videos in sliders, more control of Carousels;<br />
selection of over 20 different navigation arrows;<br />
display options for navigation arrows,timing and order options;<br />
per-slider custom CSS;<br />
and other options<br />
to fine tune your slider.<br />
There is no other slider plugin like it.</p>
