It works well on my blog

Rating: 4 stars

It works well, but (as is the case with most plugins) there needs to be more documentation. Its bad when I have to go through the code to figure out how it works. More options seem to be available (timing, transition, etc) but either dont exist or arent documented.

Quick Simple Integration for NIVO

And to @madalin

You don’t need to update the functions file, but rather just the nivo-slider-light.php file in the plugin folder. Works great on 3.5.1

Very useful if you’re coding your own theme, because the source code is simple to understand.
Also, this plugin didn’t conflict with my other slideshow ??

this is only if you can edit your functions.php in your theme, or you can create a plugin with this code (will work).

change parameters to your need, make sure you change them right, some will eat your cat ?? kidding…

here is the code:

function NivoHeaderOverride() {
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
	jQuery(document).ready(function($){
		$(".nivoSlider br").each(function(){ // strip BR elements created by WordPress
			$(this).remove();
		});
		$('.nivoSlider').nivoSlider({
			effect: 'fade', // Specify sets like: 'fold,random,sliceDown'
			slices: 15, // For slice animations
			boxCols: 8, // For box animations
			boxRows: 4, // For box animations
			animSpeed: 500, // Slide transition speed
			pauseTime: 5000, // How long each slide will show
			startSlide: 0, // Set starting Slide (0 index)
			directionNav: true, // Next & Prev navigation
			controlNav: true, // 1,2,3... navigation
			controlNavThumbs: false, // Use thumbnails for Control Nav
			pauseOnHover: true, // Stop animation while hovering
			manualAdvance: false, // Force manual transitions
			prevText: 'Prev', // Prev directionNav text
			nextText: 'Next', // Next directionNav text
			randomStart: false, // Start on a random slide
			beforeChange: function(){}, // Triggers before a slide transition
			afterChange: function(){}, // Triggers after a slide transition
			slideshowEnd: function(){}, // Triggers after all slides have been shown
			lastSlide: function(){}, // Triggers when last slide is shown
			afterLoad: function(){} // Triggers when slider has loaded
		});
	});
/* ]]> */
</script>
<?php
}

if (!is_admin()  ) {
    remove_action( 'wp_head', 'NivoHeader' );
    add_action( 'wp_head', 'NivoHeaderOverride');
