If post has no featured image, plugin tries to extract any 1st image from that post content. Customize post title and background color, background color of slider navigation panel. Color is selected from WordPress built-in color pallete. Manual input is available also. Select animation type: slide or fade. Setup slider speed and widget dimensions. You can have as many sliders as you wish with different categories. This is mainly useful if you have a dedicated category for photo gallery posts and would like to display recent post title with its featured photo. ### Translations * Russian: [ShinePHP](http://shinephp.com) ## Screenshots * [[ * screenshot-1.png Posts Slideshow Widget in action. * [[ * screenshot-2.png Posts Slideshow Widget plugin global Settings page. * [[ * screenshot-3.png Posts Slideshow Widget plugin widget options. ## Installation Installing procedure: 1.

It doesn’t cause any bugs and the general functionality is still good. It’s a shame.
