Be sure to replace the "1" with the ID of the slider you wish to display. `[easingslider id="1"]` **Function in template files (via php):** To insert the slider into your theme, add the following code to the appropriate theme file. As above, replace the "1" with the ID of the slider you wish to display. `` == Frequently Asked Questions == = My slider continually loads. What's wrong? = This can often be caused by a jQuery conflict. Many plugins don't load jQuery correctly and as a result break the plugins that do. Firstly, disable all of the other plugins you have activated (or as many as you can). If the issue persists, with just Easing Slider "Lite" active, it is more than likely a conflict with the theme. If the slider works when it is the only plugin active, you're experiencing a plugin conflict. Carefully enable each plugin, one-by-one, checking the slider each time. Keep doing this until you activate the plugin that breaks the slider. After you've taken these two steps, make a support topic and we will get back to you as soon as you can. Otherwise, feel free to contact the developer(s) of the conflict plugin/theme also. They should also be able to provide you with assistance. = How can I edit a slide? = This is easy. When editing a slider in the "All Sliders" admin area, simply click an individual slide thumbnail and it's settings panel will appear. == Screenshots == 1. "All Sliders" admin page. This is where you manage your sliders. 2. Preview of the "Edit Slider" panel. 3. Modal window for managing the settings of an individual slide. 4. Preview of the plugin "Settings" admin page. 5. "Customize" admin page, which allows you to customize the styling of a slider. 6. Browse available extensions for Easing Slider from the "Extensions" admin page. 7. A preview of a slider.
