Slyd is an easy-to-use, highly-customizable slider plugin for WordPress. There are plenty of plugins out there that allow you to easily insert a slider into your WordPress using a shortcode but they require creating a custom slide for every post you write.
With Slyd you can shirk those inconveniences. Slyd automatically pulls in all of your latest posts (or just the ones in a certain category). All Slyd requires is that you upload a Slyd image or a Featured image on your post page.
- CSS3/jQuery Animations – Slyd is built to be pretty so naturally it uses CSS3 and jQuery to impress viewers.
- Category Selection – Create a new Category or use an existing one to limit the posts that display in the Slydr.
- Shortcode – Normal users can insert the
[slyd]shortcode to display the Slydr. - PHP Template Tag – For more advanced users, install Slyd into a theme using
<?php slyd(); ?>. - Responsive Design – Slyd is built to scale with it’s container, allowing it to look great whether it’s on a desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.
Plans for the Future
- Themes
- Custom Slyd caption for posts
- Image Options – Fit (image stretches to fitwidth of container) or Center (image maintains original proportions ans can anchor to the center, any corner, or any side).
- Animation Options – Slide, Slide Over, or Fade
- Option to remove Slyd Image from a post
