== Installation ==

1. Install Slideshow either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server.

2. After activating Slideshow, you can create a new slideshow.

3. Click on 'Insert Image Slide' to insert an image slide, a popup will appear where you can search for the desired

image. Insert the image by clicking 'Insert'

4. Use the shortcode or code snippet visible in your slideshow admin panel to deploy your slideshow anywhere on your website,

or use the widget to show any of your slideshows in the sidebar of your website.

5. Feel like a sir.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I add image slides? =

You can choose from images that have already been uploaded to your Wordpress website by clicking on the

'Insert Image Slide' button in the slides list. A screen will pop up and here you are able to search your image files

by name for image you want to use. If you want to add new images to the slideshow, you need to upload them to the

Wordpress media page.

= The slideshow does not show up / The slideshow looks like it's not styled =

- 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.

= I chose the 'Custom' style option for my slideshow, but the slideshow is not styled anymore =

Since the slideshow is most often called after the </head> tag, the slideshow can't print it's styles in the head of

the website and has to output it on the page. A strict doctype does not allow stylesheets in the body and thus the

slideshow may not be styled.

== Screenshots ==

1. Here's what some default slideshows can look like. Sit back, grab a beer, enjoy.

2. Create a new slideshow. A shortcode and a code snippet of how to call it is already visible.

3. If you haven't uploaded any images yet, you can do so on the Wordpress media page. Don't forget to insert the images into the slideshow after uploading!

4. Click the 'Insert Image Slide' button in the Slides List to search and pick images from the Wordpress media page.

5. The images you selected are directly visible in your Slides List, don't forget to save!

6. Not satisfied with the handling or styling of the slideshow? Customize!
