Slidr vs Uix Slideshow

Slidr is a clean, simple, responsive and touch-friendly multi-purpose Carousel. It takes a different approach than most other carousel plugins on that it displays posts or custom posts instead of just gallery photos (but it can show gallery photos as well if you like). Its goal is to be as flexible as possible, allowing you to fully customize its appearance via CSS and override the default HTML output. You can even use it as a “vessel” to display your custom loops which could, practically, contain any content you like, from YouTube videos and Google Maps to Instagram feeds and Tweets! View the demo | Custom loop demos Features Responsive. Touch friendly. Can accept variable width – fixed height images. You can call it via a shortcode on posts, pages and widgets. You can use it instead of the default WordPress gallery. No need to mess with shortcodes – just enable “Slidr for Gallery” and start creating galleries as usual, the WordPress way! Supports cycling items (when at the end, clicking “next” loads the first item and so on, simulating a circular move). Autoscroll support. Customizable queries with more than a dozen of parameters. You can adjust the post type, number of entries, thumbnail size, order and many more. You can have different carousels with different queries and different parameters on a single page. You can call it conditionally, to load scripts and styles only when needed. It can display entries without photos. For example, you can show the titles and excerpts of your recent posts (or custom posts) and style them however you like. Using a special function you can override the text output for each item. For example, instead of the item’s title and excerpt you can show an icon, some static text or something else. You can add your custom class on each shortcode, to style each carousel differently. If you are a theme developer, you can pass your own default values through your theme’s functions.php for “Slidr for Gallery” option. Works on every recent version of all popular browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari) and it even supports Internet Explorer 8. A custom loop function allows you to use the carousel with your custom loops. That way you can practically use it to display any content you like (videos, content from feeds etc). View demos

Adding Uix Slideshow to Web Pages There are two different ways you can add the Uix Slideshow widget to your site’s pages: (1) Shortcode – Embed a shortcode into the editor of any post, page, or custom post type.

Go to your WordPress admin panel, edit or create a new post (or page). You’ll see a Uix Slideshow button in the toolbar. (2) Template tags – Add a simple PHP function to one of your theme’s template files. Place in your templates. Custom Usage You can overview the original styles to overwrite it. It will be on creating new styles to your website, without modifying original .css files. Go to “Uix Slideshow” in the WordPress Administration Screens, then link to a specific tab like “Custom CSS”. There is a second way, make a new Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) document which name to “uix-slideshow-custom.css” to your templates directory ( “/wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/” or “/wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/assets/css/” ). You can connect to your site via an FTP client, make the changes and then upload the file back to the server. Once you have created an existing CSS file, Uix Slideshow will use it as a default style sheet to your WordPress Theme. Of course, Uix Slideshow’s function of “Custom CSS” is still valid. Note: Making a new javascrpt (.js) document which name to “uix-slideshow-custom.js” to your templates directory ( “/wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/” or “/wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/assets/js/” ). Once you have created an existing JS file, Uix Slideshow will use it as a default script to your WordPress Theme.
