Use the [slideshow] shortcode to insert a jQuery Cycle slideshow into your WordPress post or page. No JavaScript necessary! Customize the slideshow using the shortcode options and by modifying your theme’s stylesheet. The plugin also adds a custom template tag wordcycle_slideshow(). WordCycle is developed by [Esther S White](http://blog.estherswhite.net) ### Usage and Examples Uploaded images are called attachments in the WordPresss database. If WordCycle is installed, you can use the [slideshow] shortcode to create a slideshow of all the attachments associated with a post. You can also use the custom template tag wordcycle_slideshow() in your WordPress template files. The slideshow advances automatically and is minimally styled. The slideshow uses the Link, Title, and Caption attributes of the WordPress Image Uploader/Gallery, as well as the gallery sorting options. To add the slideshow to a post, insert this code: [slideshow] More examples available on the plugin website. ### Options & Defaults * id // post id: #, current (default) * order // slide order: ASC (default), DESC, RAND * orderby // slide order by: menu_order ID (default), see list in codex: https:// codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts * size // image size: thumbnail, small, medium (default), large, full-size * speed // effect speed: slow (default), normal, fast * fx // slideshow effect (view the [jQuery Cycle Plugin Effects Browser](http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/browser.html) for a complete list) * timeout // time on each slide: miliseconds: 8000 (default) * pause // pause on mouse-over: 0 (default) or 1 * next // selector of element to use as click trigger for next slide : null (default) or DOM element ID * prev // selector of element to use as click trigger for previous slide : null( default) or DOM element ID * include // include image by ID * exclude // exclude image by ID * link // image link: file, attachment * align // slideshow position: left, right, none (default) * float (deprecated) // slideshow position: left, right, none (default) ## Installation Extract the zip file and drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the WordCycle from Plugins page.
