Description
The Responsive Slider plugin allows you to create slides that consist of linked (to any url) images and titles. The slider would then take those slides and present them as a jQuery-powered slideshow – at a chosen location within your theme, page, or post. In whatever order you want them.

The main purpose of the Responsive Slider is to serve as an effective addition to responsive WordPress themes, as it would automatically adjust to its container. This would work out of the box – there is no need for additional CSS or JavaScript tweaks from your theme.
Please note, this plugin is only for use on Self-Hosted WordPress installations, not WordPress.com. See this Guide to the Best WordPress Hosting if you need any help choosing one.

- My slider disappeared when I upgraded!?
-
Make sure to use
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[responsive_slider]' ); ?>instead of<?php do_shortcode( '[responsive_slider]' ); ?>if you are adding the slider directly to your template file. - But the slider is not responsive!
-
The slider addapts to it’s container width. If you are using a theme with non-responsive layout, the slider won’t behave ‘responsively’ as well.
- Would the Responsive Slider work in my theme?
-
The plugin has been tested with more than 20 popular WordPress themes. It should work in yours too.
- Does my theme need to be ‘responsive’ in order to use this plugin?
-
No, not at all. You can use it with any theme.
- Can I change the way it looks?
-
Sure, you can easily override the slider CSS in your theme. The easiest approach is to use a tool like Firebug to find the snippet you need to override. Then copy it to your theme CSS file (usually
style.css) and edit it there, using a CSS selector with higher priority. - Can I create more than one slider?
-
No, currently the plugin can maintain only one slider.
