Responsive Slider

Responsive Slider WordPress plugin allows you to create responsive, touch-friendly image sliders and insert them easily into your posts with shortcodes.

Including too many images in a “normal” way could damage the visual appearance of your site and make it looks messy. Therefore, only one place for an image slider with dozens of your images could illustrate your text or products you are selling in a better way. This approach is highly recommended and often used in modern web design practices. With the Responsive Slider WordPress plugin, you can make sliders for your site easily. Responsive Slider by HotThemes is based on jQuery. The sliders you create will look great on mobile devices and will fit into the screen automatically. Furthermore, on all touch screens users can change images with finger gestures, such as swiping or tapping.

You can include the Responsive Slider WordPress shortcode into your posts and pages. To insert the contact form into your posts or pages, you can use this shortcode:

In this shortcode, you should replace “path/to/image” with a relative path where your images are stored. You can use any FTP client to create folders and upload images to your site.

You can also use images uploaded via Media Library, but you should know the folder where these images are uploaded. By default, WordPress makes folders with years and months. So, to show images from January 2015, your path will be “wp-content/uploads/2015/01”. Keep in mind that media files uploaded via Media Library are not stored in logically sorted folders. Also, there are often several versions of the same image in different resolutions. Therefore, it’s recommended to use FTP to upload your images for the Responsive Slider WordPress plugin.
