Description
This plugin was developed to display excerpts from random posts in a category. jQuery is used for fading the plugin in and out. It’s a great way for displaying testimonials of clients or just giving a snapshot of content from your site.
Shortcode added as of version 1.4
The most basic use is: [reFader] this will use the default options.
Here is an example of all the options in use
[reFader title= »Random Excerpts » cat= »23″ type= »post » amount= »5″ length= »50″ duration= »5000″ linked= »no » url= »http://www.jackreichert.com/ »]
This will show 5 (amount) posts (type) from category #23 (cat). It will show 50 (length) words from each post and fade out/in every 5 seconds (duration). It will not link each title to the corresponding post, but it will link all the titles to this plugins page (url).
Installation
- Upload the RandomExcerptsFader folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
