About Slideshow Reloaded
From the official readme · v1.0.2Description
Slideshow Reloaded provides an easy way to integrate a slideshow for any WordPress installation.
Any image or video can be loaded into the slideshow by picking it from the WordPress media page.
This is a fork (an updated clone) of Stenfran Boonstra’s Slideshow. I fixed several bugs, completed some feature requests from the original plugin’s support forum, updated deprecated code, and tested it in recent versions of WordPress and PHP.
If you’re using the old plugin, all of your existing slideshows will automatically work with this version.
Features
- Image slides
- Video slides
- Text slides
