Wordpress featured content slider plugin, Pro3x Easy Slides

Demo :: Working example of Pro3x Easy Slides :: Demo

There are many content slider plugins for WordPress, but I wanted a simple slider I could use to add content slider to the theme I already used for my Pro3x Community website. Since none of the plugins had what I wanted, when I found jQuery Easy Slider script, I decided to write a wrapper plugin for WordPress. This wrapper plugin around jQuery Easy Slider for WordPress is primarily intended to simplify the process of adding content slider to your existing theme. Since every theme is different, plugin has it’s own CSS file which you can use to easily customize the slider look and feel to fit your theme. This is not plug & play content slider plugin for WordPress, but after few plugs it will play as you want. Installation and customization is pretty simple.

Installation of Pro3x Easy Slides plugin

Start by going to your Add new plugin page in WordPress administration. Type Pro3x Easy Slides and hit enter. From the list of plugins, select install link for Pro3x Easy Slides plugin. If for some reason, you can’t install plugin through WordPress administration, you can download the slider form Wordpres plugins directory and upload it to your server manually. Here is the link to download page in Wordpres plugins directory. Use the download link on the right side of Wordpres plugins directory page to download the latest version of content slider.

When you are finished with installation, you can start the customization of slider so if fits the look and feel of your theme. First add few slides to slider, so you can test the slider. Go to widgets page, and look for Pro3x Easy Slides widgets and add them to new Pro3x Easy Slides Sidebar. Add as many widgets as you like and fill the widget fields. When you are done, go to your theme editor and edit index.php file. Add following line of code where you want to show the slider. This command calls custom actions to show content slider.

Now you are ready to view your new slider. When you open you homepage, it should show new slider. It will be ugly at first, but if everything works, you can go to plugin editor in WordPress administration and customize CSS styles of Pro3x Easy Slides content slider plugin for WordPress. Open plugin editor, select Pro3x Easy Slides from drop down list and edit easySlider.css file. Change the width and hight of the #Pro3xEasySlides li and .Pro3xEasySlidesBox CSS selectors to adjust the size of the slider to your theme.

You can customize other styles as you like, but the width and height are the most important. You can use #Pro3xEasySlides .slide-content img CSS selector to position the image in slides and #Pro3xEasySlides .slide-content .info to position the description and links of the slides. Here is one more note about creating slides, when you create slides using Pro3x Easy Slides widget and Pro3x Easy Slides Sidebar, you don’t need to fill all the values. Slides content will show only the fields you entered for each Pro3x Easy Slides widget.
