Overview

About this plugin

This plugin creates a fullscreen slideshow that displays randomly-selected pictures from your media library. Designed to display pictures related to your business/organization in the background at an event or in your office, there is no need to configure any settings or controls. Image captions/descriptions are automatically displayed as well, and can be configured based on your needs.

com/slideshow. gif are typically used for graphics).

Please note that it is not currently possible to pause the slideshow or go back; the slideshow is not designed for personal viewing. However, clicking/tapping on the image will open its attachment page in a new tab, allowing images to be contextualized or edited easily.

The slideshow can also be embedded into your site via a widget or a shortcode.

You can control some options by adjusting the url of the slideshow. Parameters are controlled via query string (and widget options and shortcode attributes).

  • size is the size of the image to load, either thumbnail (discouraged), medium, large, full, or auto, which uses medium or large depending on wp_is_mobile().
  • year is the 4-digit numeric year in which the images were published.
  • month is the numeric month in which the images were published (between 1 and 12), typically but not necessarily used in conjunction with year.
  • mode defines a subset of images to use, such as featured for featured images only.
  • captions controls the captions display: either auto, none, title, titlecaption, caption, or description. Caption data is read from the image attachment post and can be updated in the media library.

Using all options, for example:

size=full&year=2014&month=4&mode=featured&captions=titlecaption
