Slidy vs WP 500px jsGallery

Slidy is a reponsive jQuery slider that uses slick carousel by Ken Wheeler and it’s fully integrated into WordPress, so it’s possible to add and administer slides via the Dashboard. You just need to set the image that you want to see in Slidy as the featured image in each post. Slides can be categorized and in this way you can have different sliders on your website. With the functionalities slick carousel brings, it is possible to create sliders in different ways, such as having multiple items unlike many sliders. Also, with the wide range of settings, you can customize your slider in various ways such as inifinite looping, mouse dragging, swiping, arrow key navigation etc. You can also add links to the individual slides via Add/Edit Slide interface. The slides are posts at the same time so you can use them as contents but you may have to edit your theme to view slide images. Note that this version doesn’t cover all functionalities slick carousel provided but the present functionalities are very sufficent for you to create awesome sliders.

There should be a MO file created by Poedit. Send PO and MO files to me, then I will add them in the next release.

This is plugin lets you add your 500px.com gallery to a page in your blog using the [jsg500px] shortcode. The gallery is made with galleriffic and the images are retrieved from 500px.com using the user feed. It’s possible also to define a custom CSS in your template folder to customize completely the gallery. See the plugin in action here: http://micz.it/fotografia/500px/ Using a custom CSS file You can customize the look of the gallery using a custom CSS file. The file must be named wp-500px-jsgallery.css and copied in your theme root folder, the same where is stored the theme style.css file. This custom file will be loaded after the standard plugin css file, so you can modify only the elements you need, the other elements will be displayed as usual. You can check the standard wp-500px-jsgallery.css to see which css elements the gallery is composed of. If you check the “Exclusive custom CSS” option in the plugin settings page, will be loaded only your custom CSS file and not the plugin default one. If you need to modify only the thumbnails or image dimensions, you could do this via a custom css or using the dedicated options in the plugin settings page.
