Presenter Plugin

Slideshow presentations made simple on WordPress. Design each slide as you would a post using wysiwyg. Works with most presenter remotes as well!

You’ll be able to create presentations in no time using WordPress’s familiar built-in toolset. No need for SlideShare, with Presenter you are hosting your own presentations and can share them by simply linking to your site. The presentations are built using Reveal.js by Hakim El Hattab, which means it is extremely extensible, works with most browsers, and even works with presenter remotes.

Professional slideshows right on your WordPress site.

FAQ

Does this work with a presenter remote?

Yes! I haven’t tested it with every remote of course, but all of them that I
have tested have worked perfectly. My personal favorite is the
Logitech Professional Presenter R800

How do I do background images or videos for my slides?

On the slide you want to add it to, click the “Show Advanced Slide Setting” link, then click the “Add Data Field” button.

For an image: Set the name of the field to ‘background’ and put the URL for the image in the value field.

For video: Set the name of the field to ‘background-video’ and you can add in comma separated URLs to various video sources, such as: //example.com/bearded-dragon-scares-kitten.mp4,//example.com/bearded-dragon-scares-kitten.webm,//example.com/bearded-dragon-scares-kitten.ogv

Can I make the slideshow look different?

Absolutely. There are several default themes included, but you can also make
your own. If there is a “presenter” directory in your WordPress theme, Presenter
will look there for additional themes. All you need for a theme is a .css file
with a header like this:
/** Template Name: My Presenter Template */

The css file will be included and used in your slideshow.

I want to put my custom Presenter theme somewhere else. Can I?

Sure. You can use the presenter-themes filter to add your own theme wherever
it is. It is passed an array where the index is the path to the css file and the
value is the name of the theme. Just add your own like this:

add_filter( 'presenter-themes', 'add_my_custom_presenter_theme' ); function add_my_custom_presenter_theme( $themes ) { $themes['/path/to/my/theme.css'] = 'My amazing theme'; return $themes; }
