Coin Slider 4 WP will show your featured posts as image slider and rotate them using unique effects provided by jQuery’s Coin Slider.
Implementation is very easy, after you download and activate this plugin, just paste one line of code in your template and Coin Slider 4 WP is ready to use.
Follow next steps to set this plugin:
1. Upload coin-slider-4-wp folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Put <?php include (ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/plugins/coin-slider-4-wp/coinslider.php’); ?> in your template
4. For each post that you want to be featured you must have custom field (csImage by default) with full url to image and optionaly field (csText by default) with text for title bar.
On options page you can change default parameters:
Width: in pixels, 565 by default
Height: in pixels, 290 by default
Number of Squares per Width: Coin Slider use square based animations. 7 by default
Number of Squares per Height: 5 by default
Be careful, if you set large number of squares animation may not be smooth
Slide Display Duration: in miliseconds, 5000 by default
Slide Transition Effects: there are three types: random, swirl and rain. All of those effect you can see here
Hide Navigation: check this if you don’t need prev/next buttons and navigation squares below slider
Image field: set custom field for image that should be used in gallery. By default you can use csImage field, but if you want you can change that. This is useful if you already use some gallery plugin and you want to change to Coin Slider 4 WP
Text Field: this field is optional. Content for this field will be displayed in gallery title bar bellow title. By default name of this field is csText but you can change if you want to use some other field
If you prefer Joomla instead WordPress you should try Coin Slider for Joomla created by Daniel Pardons.
hi, i have the same problemof amibami. i think is the same, at least, couse my coin slider show post only if thaey have “today” da publication date. is that normal?
how to add “exclude=” in coinslider.php?
pls help..thanks
It,s a really nice plugin, in my wordpress it show a number “1” above the image.
I guess that exists a conflict between coinslider and lightbox? in my sites coinslider is not working. anyone knows how to ix it? thanks!
I have the same problem like Asela. My slider doesn’t work.
He doesn’t work when I use widgets.
I can’t see the slider, altough I can see the “previous” and “next” button
Lightbox and coinslider aren’t working together, i.e. only the latter works.
Are there problems with WP 3.0 ?
I cant get it to work. It doesnt display the slider at all. Maybe a step by step installation video would be nice.
It is possible that navigation controls are above the images? and NO below the images like this now.
If possible, I could say how. please. Thank you.

Hi i cannot manage with this code.Dont know where can i place it “” “” main index template or slidebar ? im trying to place it appearance -> editor-> and then putting where i dont know..Thank You mate it looks awesome..
Thanks for this awesome plugin.
I was wondering if i could display 3 posts beside each other then the 3 posts fade together when i click on next or prev button. Similar to what Techi.com have at the top of their home page.
Hi, I was trying to figure out if there’s a way for me to center coin-slider on my homepage. I don’t know how to do it.
Also, all the code that you put up where you plug the images in, do you put that on the page? Or is it placed somewhere else? because that’s where I have all the code at the moment.
Looks great, but I can’t get it to render – just get a bit white space. When I paste the dynamic content gallery code into the same place it renders fine.
Ive deactivated Dynamic content gallery, Lightbox 2, Cumulus – any everything I could imagine may conflict.
My images are the same size as the CS settings, I’m using “csImage” with absolute path…at a bit of a loss 🙁
Using Arthemia theme by the way
or id like to add a text or image below the slider (previous and next)

Ah, after a bit of fooling around, there’s no animation because I used the same image from placehold.it for all my test posts.
I got the animation when I used different coloured images.
hi there,
i need to slide category links istead of a single post so please help me out
