Hi All,

 

I am trying to find a good photo slider plugin for wordpress that has captions. I need my client to be able to update the slider so I can't just embed a J-Query slider. There are thousands of slider plugins out there but I am yet to find one that allows me to have captions.

 

I need the end result to look like this... http://cl.ly/2Z0C2s37353N1l3Q2V2u

 

Any help much appreciated!

 

Cheers,

Ben

Create a custom post type for the slides - no title, no content, just a featured image at the right size. Then write a loop to spit out however many of that post type you want into the markup required for whatever slider you want.

Renaissance Design is spot on with his advice.

 

Another technique we've used in the past is to output all images attached to the WordPress page into a JS array. The array is then cycled through using the ajax features of the aptly named jQuery Cycle.

 

Simple

 

Cheers,

Thinking about it, keep the title. It's a more prominent place for the user to enter the caption than the caption field of the media uploader.

Thanks I'll have a look into it!
