Easy Gallery Slider Plugin

This slider is easy to use, but powerful. It is designed to be responsive, and works perfectly with mobile devices. It can be automatically displayed on posts and pages, inserted by shortcode or PHP. The slides are pulled on each post from the attached images (gallery).

Features

• Automatically display slider for every post and/or page
• Slides are created from images attached to the post/page it is displayed on (WordPress Gallery)
• Responsive slider performs the same on every platform (desktop or mobile)
• Fade or slide effects
• Navigation with buttons, “dots”, keyboard, scroll-wheel, automatic timer
• Show titles and descriptions with an overlay
• Link individual slides to any URL
• Show a “zoom” button to integrate with a Lightbox plugin
• Many options available through an easy to use admin interface

Help, it’s not loading any images?!

Try toggling the options on the Easy Gallery Slider settings page under “Help”. If TimThumb is at fault, see the next question.

Why isn’t TimThumb working?

• The must host support PHP and the GD image library plugin (check for GD support by creating a phpinfo page)
• Check the permissions on “timthumb.php” inside the easy-gallery-slider plugin folder, it should be 755.
• Check the permissions on every directory above and including the easy-gallery-slider plugin directory. They should be set to something like 755, not 777.
• Try two different settings on the “cache” directory inside the easy-gallery-slider plugin directory: 775 and 777
• Check the error log for your host, there may be helpful information in there relating to “timthumb.php”
• Ask your host for help and to check your configuration. Also do they block the TimThumb script?

What third party scripts are included?
