This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**.
It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when
used with more recent versions of WordPress.

## Description

Slideshow Reloaded provides an easy way to integrate a slideshow for any WordPress
installation.

Any image or video can be loaded into the slideshow by picking it from the WordPress
media page.

This is a fork (an updated clone) of Stenfran Boonstra’s [Slideshow](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/).
I fixed several bugs, completed some feature requests from the original plugin’s
support forum, updated deprecated code, and tested it in recent versions of WordPress
and PHP.

If you’re using the old plugin, all of your existing slideshows will automatically
work with this version.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Here’s what a default slideshow can look like.
 * [[
 * Create a new slideshow. Slides and settings specific to this slideshow can be
   set here.
 * [[
 * If you haven’t uploaded any images yet, you can do so on the WordPress media 
   page.
 * [[
 * Click the ‘Media Slide’ button in the Slides List to search and pick images from
   the WordPress media page. Click ‘Insert’ to insert the image or video in the 
   slide.
 * [[
 * The images you selected are directly visible in your Slides List, don’t forget
   to save!
 * [[
 * When you understand the basics of creating slideshows, you may want to go a little
   more in depth and have a look at the General Settings page. As seen in the image
   above, privileges can be granted to user roles to give users the ability to add,
   edit or delete slideshows.
 * [[
 * Default slideshow settings can be edited here. Slideshows that are newly created,
   will start out with these options.

## Installation

 1. Install Slideshow either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading
    the files to your server.
 2. After activating Slideshow, click on ‘Slideshows’ and create a new slideshow.
 3. Click on ‘Insert Media Slide’ to insert an image or video slide.
 4. Go to a post or a page and add a shortcode with “[slideshow_reloaded id=’123′]”.

## FAQ

  How do I add image slides?

Click the ‘Image slide’ button in the ‘Slides List’ of the slideshow. A screen will
pop up where you’ll be able to search though all images that have already been uploaded
to your WordPress website. If you want to add new images to the slideshow, or you
do not have any images yet, you’ll have to upload them to the WordPress media page
first.

  How do I change a slideshow’s settings?

Just like the posts and pages you’re already familiar with, slideshows can be edited.
Go to the ‘Slideshows’ tab in your WordPress admin, and you’ll see a list of slideshows.
If you have not created a slideshow yet, you can do so by clicking ‘Add new’ on 
that same page. If there are slideshows in the list, click on the title of the slideshow
you want to change the settings of. On the slideshow’s edit page you’ll be able 
to find a box titled ‘Slideshow Settings’, in this box you can change the slideshow’s
settings.

If you’re creating multiple slideshows that should have the same settings, but their
settings need to be different from the default settings, you can change the default
settings by going to the ‘General Settings’ page and clicking on the ‘Default Slideshow
Settings’ tab. Newly created slideshows will start off with the settings you set
there.

  How do I customize the slideshow’s style?

On your WordPress admin page, go to the ‘Slideshows’ menu item and click on ‘General
Settings’, then go to the ‘Custom styles’ tab. Here you’ll see a list of default
stylesheets, such as ‘Light’ and ‘Dark’, and a list of custom stylesheets; The ones
you created.

Choose a default stylesheet you’d like to customize and click ‘Customize’ to open
the ‘Custom style editor’. When you’re done editing click ‘Save Changes’ and go 
to the slideshow you’d like to style with the newly created stylesheet. In the ‘
Slideshow Style’ box you can now find and select your custom stylesheet. You can
set a stylesheet for multiple slideshows.

If you’ve already created a custom stylesheet, you can edit it by clicking ‘Edit’.
You can also delete it by clicking ‘Delete’. Be careful with this though, a deleted
stylesheet cannot be retrieved and cannot be used by any slideshow anymore.

  Some users can add, edit or delete slideshows, although I do not want them to.
Can I prevent this from happening?

Yes you can. On your WordPress admin page, go to the ‘Slideshows’ menu item and 
click on ‘General Settings’, then go to the ‘User Capabilities’ tab (If you’re not
already there). The privileges that allow user groups to perform certain actions
are listed here. To allow, for instance, a contributor to add a slideshow, click
the box in front of ‘Contributor’ to grant them the right to add slideshows.

Note that when you grant someone the right to add or delete a slideshow, you’ll 
also automatically grant them the right to edit slideshows, as this right is required
to add or delete slideshows. The same is true for the reversed situation.

  The slideshow does not show up

 * The slideshow is mostly called after the `</head>` tag, which means the scripts
   and stylesheet need to load in the footer of the website. A theme that has no`
   <?php wp_footer() ?>` call in it’s footer will not be able to load the slideshow’s
   scripts.
 * Often when the slideshow isn’t showing, there’s a Javascript error somewhere 
   on the page and this error has caused Javascript to break. For the slideshow 
   to work again, this error needs to be fixed. Check if any errors were thrown 
   by opening Google Chrome or Firefox (with Firebug installed) and press the ‘F12’
   key. Errors show in the console tab.

  Why does Internet Explorer show a big blank space above the slideshow?

Internet Explorer is a very strict browser, so when a big blank space above your
slideshow is showing your page may contain some invalid HTML. Most times invalid
HTML is caused by placing the slideshow’s shortcode or PHP snippet into an anchor
tag (`<a></a>`) or paragraph tag (`<p></p>`), while you can only place a slideshow
within a ‘div’ element (`<div></div>`).

### 󠀁[Fantastic work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fantastic-work-30/)󠁿

 [Damiaan van Vliet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/damnsharp/) March 31, 2020

On a B&B website we use the Slideshow plug-in from Stefan Boonstra. Too bad it did
not got developed anymore. But luckily Lerougeliet took over the work! Thanks very
much! It was easy to install, just disable the old plug-in and enable the new one.
All the slideshows still work.

La reprise en main de Slideshow par Slideshow reloaded est un vrai plus qui permet
