It features a forward and backward button, and skip to slide buttons on the bottom. ## Screenshots * [[ * Demonstration of the carousel ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress ## FAQ What features does this carousel have? Move forward/backwards buttons. Skip to specific slide buttons. Multiple carousels can be used per page. How do I make a carousel with manually defined slides? Each slide is defined with three parameters: img, link and title. Each parameter has a follow number preceded by a _ to define which slide number it is, beginning at 0. For example a carousel with two slides: [simple_carousel img_0=“First slide image url” link_0=“First slide link url” title_0 =“Title (alternative image tag) for first slide image” img_1=“Second slide image url” link_0=“Second slide link url” title_1=“Second slide text”] How do I make a carousel to display posts from a category? [simple_carousel type=“category” category_name=“”] Accepts parameters that the function get_posts uses (https://codex.wordpress.org/ Template_Tags/get_posts) to further refine which posts are displayed. What other parameters does this shortcode accept? class: adds the value to the div.carousel class tag for CSS styling, ex: “float- left” width: width of the carousel, usually defined in px, ex: “960px”, default:“ 100%” ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c8b31268d8ef427387116f9ba0bdb56f24cbf9fc94984d812cd8f364ab23c5f1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Wonderful just-so carousel plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wonderful-just-so-carousel-plugin/)󠁿 [oxygensmith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/oxygensmith/) April 26, 2018 Stellar plugin.
