Feature content in a JavaScript powered slideshow gallery showcase on your WordPress website

== Description ==

Feature content in a JavaScript powered slideshow gallery showcase on your WordPress website.

You can easily display multiple galleries throughout your WordPress website displaying your custom added slides or showing slides from WordPress posts.

The slideshow is flexible and all aspects can easily be configured.

Embedding or hardcoding the slideshow gallery is a breeze. To embed into a post/page, simply insert `[slideshow]` into its content with an optional `post_id` parameter to display the gallery images uploaded to that post/page `[slideshow post_id=123]`. You can also use an `exclude` parameter to exclude certain images by their order in the gallery (comma separated) from the slideshow like this `[slideshow post_id=123 exclude="3,7,9"]`. 

To hardcode into any PHP file of your WordPress theme, simply use `<?php if (class_exists('Gallery')) { $Gallery = new Gallery(); $Gallery -> slideshow($output = true, $post_id = null); }; ?>`.

1. Extract the package to obtain the `slideshow-gallery` folder
1. Upload the `slideshow-gallery` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
