Visit the Plugins/Add New page and search for ‘AnythingSlider for WordPress’. Click to automatically install. Once installed and activated visit the AnythingSlider admin page (Settings/AnythingSlider) to customize the global AnythingSlider settings. If you’re old school, you can download the plugin, upload the files into the wp- content/plugins directory of your server via FTP, and then visit the Plugins page of the admin panel to activate it. ## FAQ How do I use this plugin? It’s easy! Create a few slides using the Slides custom post type. Then, on a post or page of your choosing, use the [anything_slides] shortcode to embed the slideshow. How do I display one category, specifically, in my slideshow? There are a variety of options you can add to the [anything_slides] shortcode: * cat _the category slug of your desired category_ * width or height _the width or height of the slideshow – this overrides the global settings_ * delay _the time between slides_ * resume _time between user interaction and slideshow resume_ * animation _how long the slide animation lasts_ How can I add this to a theme file? Easy. Just use the standard method of embedding shortcodes into theme files: `` For more information about this plugin, and to watch a few videos, check out [Missing Piece Studios](http://missingpiecestudios.com). For more information about the jQuery plugin, visit [this GitHub repo](http://proloser.github.com/AnythingSlider/). How do I customize the CSS for my slideshows? Simply add the file ‘anythingslider.css’ to your theme directory, or your theme’s CSS directory. That’s it. The plugin will detect the file’s existence and do the heavy lifting for you. How do I use the new Navigation Formatter feature You’ll notice on the Slides post/page there is a new metabox for Navigation Formatter. Add the text you’d like to use into this box. Next add the new attribute to the shortcode wherever you’d like to use custom navigation formatting. The shortcode has a new attribute `navFormat`. The existence of this attribute in your shortcode call will grab the text you just entered and use that for the navigation title. If that’s too confusing… which it probably is, check out a how-to video at [Missing Piece Studios](http://missingpiecestudios.com). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “AnythingSlider for WordPress” is open source software.
