Download
New Features

2] Added New Effects Swirl,Rain,Fade
3] Added styles like border,background,font-family,font-size for headings and text.
Installation

3. Upload the “content-slide” folder to the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory. (DO NOT CHANGE ANY FILE OR FOLDER NAMES)
4. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
5. Click on Content slide in your wordpress dashboard and configure content slide plugin options.
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(); }
}
?>

What a great plugin!
I’m looking for some plugin like that.
I’m used to use D13Slideshow but it was not like what I had expected.
But… where is the download link?
@V.C
Hi I am having contact with the wordpress.org to host that plugin on there site. I will sent you the link of the plugin when they approved my plugin.
Thank you very much.
I can’t wait till then.
Works great, thank you
@baron
Thanks for using my plugin, You are the first person who downloaded and installed this plugin..
Looks great. Can the slide images be linked to another site ala advertising banners?
Thanks!
Rudai
@Rudai
For now Images Can only link to the Post. I will keep this your suggestion in my mind to create banner sections to link other sites in my next version.
I’m having problems getting the slider to load images. It only shows a blank box instead. Any ideas?
Can you show me the page where you added that slideshow. Did you added images using the custom field ”slideshow_img” as name and value is full image path like “http://www.snilesh.com/image.jpg” for more details visit the WordPress Content Slider. If you still get blank box then send me reply.
Excellent WordPress plugin with cool Effect
Hi
I just installed the plugin and it works. But I only get one picture to show, the rest is white. I have three posts linked. Check http://www.rebelmusic.se to see what I mean. Hope u can help us.
Got it to work now! Thanks for a great plugin!
@Marcus
Thanks for using my plugin. I am glad that your problem is fixed..
perfect slider!
Having some trouble figuring out exactly how to install this plugin. If you could provide some step by step, detailed instructions that are a bit clearer that would help. Thanks!
Can you show me your site where you are adding this plugin.
http://www.wineinprovence.com/blog/
This is the site where I have added the plugin. But nothing is showing up. I’m a bit confused about which code needs to go where. WordPress & PHP newbie here.
Thanks
I added you on gmail contact me there..
I waited your plugin for a while.
Look it great !!!
Greetings,
the plugin is EXACTLY what I want…just can’t figure out how to make it work. Here is what I did:
1. I installed the plugin.
2. I set height/width in settings. (added a category name (called it “gallery”)…this is where it gets fuzzy for me)
3. I created a post in the “gallery” category, and added a custom field with a custom field named “slideshow_img” and the value is the url to a picture I have on the site.
Sooooo…now what? lol How do I get it to show up on a page? I am totally missing some steps here I think!
Help?
Update…still not working…but closer?
If I put your code () in the page.php file, it shows on every “page”. I suspect that is what I am missing, but I only want it to show up on 1 page. How do I do that???
@Allllan
As you inserted that code in the page.php file it will be displayed on all the pages as it is default page template.
if you want to display on a single page then you can code like this in your page.php
< ?php if(is_page('Your Page name'))
{
include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/content_slide/slideshow.php');
}
?>
You can enter the page name in the bracket where i entered ‘Your page name’ .
For more details how to use is_page() you can read WordPress is_page()
Or you can create a new page template for this page . but i think solution above is easier for you
Let me know if you have any issue after this.
Okay, I think I am missing something. Where do the pictures that show up in the slide show come from? Or rather where do I put them? I am trying to add a slide shoe of random pictures to the top of one page (the home page) on a blog I am building.
Please help..Thanks
@Cindy
You have to create posts with the custom field ‘slideshow_img’ as key and full url of the image and you have to add this post in a category and you have to enter name of this category in the wp-admin content slide theme options page.
Oh my god! This is exactly what I was looking for! However, I would love to see you have one where I can link to other sites!
Simple and great plugin, i’ve install and it works perfect, but only one think is unclear!?
Is there a possibilities to get a post title on slideshow on every picture(like http://www.rebelmusic.se/)?
(using some other custom fiels or by modiciating plugin code)
@Neewby Not possible now.. But I will keep this in mind when I upgrade it to a next version.
@snilesh
Tnx, all best for further development…
Is there any way I can make it work on my index.php? Only posts and pages have custom fields and I need it for my main home page.
@Marcos,
Yes you can use it on the index.php file. Make sure you use that outside the wordpress loop.
Cool plugin. Two suggestions:
1. For the newest WordPress version, the code you need to insert is now:
2. Would it be possible build TimThumb into this, or similar, so that it crops offsize images instead of stretching/compressing them to fit?
Also, would be great to have the option to change the time that images appear.
@David Markland Ok I will add TimThumb support to the images. If you want to change the Speed of the images and fading you can change that from the image-slideshow-4.js file inside the content-slide/js/ folder change the value of “slideshow2_timeBetweenSlides” and “slideshow2_fadingSpeed” so you can change the speed..
Weird problem: while the slides contain a link, it remains the same link regardless of image. Can you take a peek and let me know what you think? (url above)
Hi Snilesh,
Instead of using
I used:
include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/content-slide/slideshow.php');in page.php as below:
$content = preg_replace('/$/', '', $content,1); //Fixes a WordPress div issueinclude (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/content-slide/slideshow.php');
echo $content;
//Sidebar
And it worked, but i have no idea to custimize it.
The result was: http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm301/seuluvme/ImageSlide.jpg
I want to replace the lap-top girl with the image-slider on home-page. I searched a lot but couldn’t find out how to do. I have no idea about php.
Pl help. Thank you.
Nice looking plugin. A client of mine wanted to use this, and I have it installed, but shouldn’t it be linking to each post that fades in and out separately? I have 2 posts up, and its just linking to the first post in the category, even when the 2nd posts image fades in.
@Andy Staple and @David Markland
Yes there is a problem with the post linking. I am changing this plugin to use Jquery with more options. So you can change it with the new one.
Thanks for this plugin that I’m using on my website!
Hello, I am interested in using the plugin. I am a little bit of a newbie on this. Can you give me a step by step on how to use it. I would like to add 3 pictures. Can it be used for pictures alone without any posts relationship?
thanks,
@Crgo
Sorry you can not add the images without using post. you have to add them using the custom field. I am currently working on to upgrade this plugin. with more options like using imges not from posts. and adding more effects…
Thanks all who used this plugin so far. and with your comments and suggestion I updated this plugin with more options. And using jquery and added option to link images to website’s other than the post’s so You can use this plugin as Advertising Banner.
having a tough time getting this to work on the home page only. Home pages has its own template called home.php
@eddie
What problem you are facing to add the slideshow. you can add it on the home.php file.
i have followed the instructions and placed the code in a text widget on my sidebar, nothing displays. is there another step i need to take or something else to look for?
@liz
You can not add that code in a text-widget you have to add it in the themes files. if you want to display that in sidebar then you have to add it in sidebar.php file
just give me link where you want to add the slider.
hello
i try to include code in sidebar.php at the end of the file but, when i do that (or in another theme file), it breaking my widgets link
The code in sidebar.php (back end of the file) :
Note : i don’t see the custom feeds panel in wordpress (2.8.4) too
@akoustics
Check the Screen Options in your wp-admin in wordpress 2.8.4 “Custom Fields” maybe unchecked so they are not showing while you write the post.
sorry if this shows up twice, i didn’t see it show up the first time so i thought i’d try again.
the page is http://www.boltinilounge.com/blog/menus
i’d like to be able to use different slideshows on different pages, if i edit the sidebar.php will all the pages have the same slideshow? also, i’m not very familiar with php, can you tell me what and exactly where to place the code in sidebar.php
thanks!
@liz
Nice Design, Sorry with the current plugin you can show one slideshow anywhere in your site. And all the pages will have same slideshow when you add the code in your theme files.
Hello,
Can you explain me please (because I m a newbie) where I have to put the code to see the slideshow on my home page:
//Add this Code where you want this slideshow to be displayed.
2.
Best,
Alex
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_nonce_field() in /homez.10/akoustic/www/wp-content/plugins/content-slide/options.php on line 6
if i try to access directly to http://www.akoustics.fr/wp-content/plugins/content-slide/options.php
PS: No custom fields in the screen options … difficult to verify if check or not.
Hi Snilesh
I think I am doing something wrong: only the last image is displayed. I inserted 5 posts in a category called slideshow, I set up the configuration options, i added the code in the theme index.php right after the header call.
What could be wrong?
Thanks!!!
@petrutm does you set number of posts to 1 in the content-slide option page.
