This plugin creates picture slideshow from a folder. The pictures folder must be uploaded (using FTP) somewhere on the server (e.g. wp-content/upload).

To include a slideshow in a post or a page, you have to use the following shortcode :

[folderslideshow folder="local_path_to_folder"]

You can customize the slideshow using the following attributes:

  • Slideshow width (width) in px
  • Picture border (border) in px (default 0)
  • Padding around the picture (padding) in px (default 0)
  • Slide duration (interval) in milliseconds (default 4000)
  • Pagination display (pagination): true or false (default true)
  • Transition effect (effect): fade or slide (default slide)

Default slideshow width is set to the width of the container unless the width attribute is set. The height is calculate from the first picture (to keep ratio).

[folderslideshow folder="path" width=500 padding=5
        border=1 interval=5000 pagination=false effect=fade]
