very old, plz update…
Unfortunately Easing Slider plugin does not work with my WP 2011 theme. It
does not allow me to add a new slider (the plugin setting page does not
display properly..the items at the top are distorted and it does not allow
me to add slides or publish a new slider..).
Hy Brad, the current Image Slider (V 2.2.0.7) has the short code to enter
the image slider into a post [easingslider id=”91″]. But it appears to have
no code snippet to insert into the theme files. Is there any way to find or
write this code? I’m using 2012 theme.
Great Video BTW, watched it about 4 times trying to figure out a solution.
Hi Brad, plugging Easy Slider can’t be download anymore. However, I was
able to download from WordPress Easing Slider “Lite” which is very limited.
However thank you for your tutorial and code I was able to have a slide
image into my header under my theme Travelify. The only problem, I can’t
add any shadow or special effects. Plus I have to play with the margin and
crop the picture prior loading them which make this very tricky. Still
trying to figure this out…I have check their upgrade and there is not
much difference. I wish I could found something that give effects but I
must admits, I like to have the slide image on every page…it’s kind of
cool…different. If you can help please do so…not sure how I can fix my
margin for some reason it’s more to the right then the left and it’s not
attached to the border below.. thanks
Brad – Awesome video. I really appreciate the way you show different ways
of doing things. I’m new to Genesis and have enjoyed how you make the DIY
aspects of the framework come alive. Thanks.
Doesnt work on Generate Press theme… needs update
thank you! :D
Awesome man. Thanks a lot.. :)
Hey there Brad, Im having a huge problem with getting my pictures to be
resized. I changed the size of my slider, also enabled the picture resize
from the settings, and even changed the pictures from both photoshop and
also the wp theme and still cant change the size. Do you have any
suggestions?
Hey Brad..this plug in has changed. They now give you a “lite” version free
and is totally different menu interface and options from the one’s shown
here…maybe you can do an update video..?
I think this widget must have changed since you made this video. The widget
you are using isn’t available. I downloaded several other slider widgets,
but I am not able to get them into the header, I can only place them in a
page. I am using academica theme
Thanks Brad

seem unable to move it to the center. I am using expound theme
Hey Brad..this plug in has changed. They now give you a “lite” version free
and is totally different menu interface and options from the one’s shown
here…maybe you can do an update video..? and how can you add the image
sliding mechanism to a particular area where there is no such in the theme.
thanks

Hi this is a great tutorial ! but where do I find the code/short code that
I need to put into the editor ?
searched a lot for this, thx !
Thanks Brad for this tutorial and the tute on your website!
Hi Brad-I installed the easing slider “lite” which was a fairly easy
set-up, but the slider doesn’t appear. I am using Twenty Eleven and the php
code, although I’ve tried the short code as well. I don’t know what I’m
doing wrong. Please help!
very helpful, but i have a question
how can i remove the slider from all the others pages on my website, i just
want have the slider on the home page????
hi i am using word press attitude my slider page are coming one by one
below, what to do i don’t know. previously it was working fine i did some
custom css. now i am facing this problem.
Hi Brad, well I’m sorry but I found this video not really useful or helpful
at all. I have Frisco software, and the Revolutions slider. It’s supposed
to have everything needed but when I reach the Edit Slides it just comes up
saying I have no slides on file. So I guess I have to create slides? Is
that it? So I have to get more plugins (and frankly I’ve found installing
plugins a huge headache, often b/c my FTP doesn’t always seem to work. Or
do I get a plugin in a different way than through my FTP? You see? You make
one statement and it leads to 3 or 4 questions, with every statement you
make. Granted I’m using a different theme, but it’s supposed to be
all-inclusive, just download and start pointing & clicking, which it
absolutely is not. I’m amazed, all the comments here find it an easy &
simple process. I must be an absolute dunce, I guess. My question: “How do
I make a slide?” so my revslider software can access it etc …
great training
Would this work if I am currently using wootique theme in wordpress? I am
trying to change the size of the slider feature button, its to small….
