Latest Update: (See the changelog on the wordpress official plugin page here)
On this page you will find ressources about the wordpress plugin wp-parallax-content-slider.
This plugin was written using this awesome jQuery and CSS script from Manoela Ilic.
You can see a demo of this parallax content slider a the top of this page, just after the page header.
Installation is quite simple. Once downloaded and added to your « wp-content/plugins » folder, you can activate the plugin in the « Extensions » section. Then, you will just have to put the following code where you want the slider to appear in your blog :
if ( function_exists( 'get_wp_parallax_content_slider' ) ) {
get_wp_parallax_content_slider();
}
It is very easy to configure the plugin as it adds automatically an admin page in WordPress administration section. You will be able to configure :
- The number of posts to display ;
- The auto-switch mode ;
- The time between each slide ;
- The sort order of the posts to display ;
- and more to come…
This plugin is still under development and I want to add a lot of features to it.

This plugin is free and under GPLv2 license as most of WordPress plugins. Don’t hesitate to give me your feedback or to ask me for additional features sending me comments.





Hi,
How can I have the image and the headline/title on the slider link to the actual post/url?

Hi Donald, is there an url to see the problem directly on the Website?
Bonjour
Je tiens à vous remercier pour le merveilleux plugin
Mais j’ai un petit problème, c’est quand je l’installe
Reflète la direction du panneau de contrôle à gauche (j’ai un panneau de contrôle en arabe)
S’il ya une solution
Je vous serais très reconnaissant
Merci
Bonjour, j’ai peur de ne pas bien saisir
Pouvez vous me préciser un peu mieux ce qui se passe ? Merci

OK, je vois mieux en effet. Ce que je ne vois pas par contre c’est la raison pour laquelle ce comportement survient sur un site en langue arabe et surtout à cause de l’installation du plugin
Je vais essayer de me renseigner sur les langues et les sens de lectures et voir s’il y a des normes de codage à respecter que j’aurai pu oublier. Merci pour m’avoir remonté le problème !
Hello,
I have a list in one of my posts that is used on the slider.
It totally breaks the slider, all of the text then from the posts shows up on every slide/page it displays.
As soon as I remove the list (ul/li) it is good.
Any fixes for this?
I figured out if I used « excerpt » instead of Content it fixes it BUT how can I increase the words in the excerpt?
Hi Donald,
as I’ve said in a previous support thread, using « pages » in the slider is a bit experimental and this feature was added for some users who asked for it. The problem is that in this mode, the HTML content of the post is displayed in slides and there is no CSS to style every HTML elements (Only hx, p, a, …). Users who have to use this mode will have then to add styles to match their HTML content and add absolute positionning to the elements…
It’s quite hard for me to do that since I can’t imagine the content users will add into their pages
About the excerpt length, take a look at this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/specifying-excerpt-length
I’ll try to add this as an admin parameter in a future release!
