Bamboo Slides

Description

This plugin adds a ‘Slide’ post type to WordPress. These work like normal posts, and can be grouped into ‘Slide Groups’ which work just like post categories. Once you have created all your slides in the appropriate groups, you can add a slider to any page or post by using the bamboo-slides’ shortcode. You can have multiple sliders on one page, and they can be anywhere you like, so they work just as well for footers as they do for banners.

Each slide can contain any type of content that a post can, and depending on the chosen mode, the slides will be switched , faded, or slid into view. Slides can also have a feature image, which if supplied will be used as the background image for the slide.

Utilisation
