Create an Image Slide Show using WordPress Media Gallery
Create the Image Slider content. Add your images to the Media Library. Ideally, the images will be the same or similar sizes.
Create Slider Post to hold gallery. Open Dashboard : Slider Posts : New Slider Post to create a Slider Post to define gallery. Give that post a meaningful name – for example, Colorado.
Create [gallery] for that post using “Add Media : Create Gallery”. See this video tutorial on how to create a gallery. Publish that Slider Post.
Open the Dashboard : ATW Posts/Slider : Sliders tab. Create a New Slider (e.g., named “Colorado”). In the “Required Options” section, set slider type and paging options to your choice. In the “Quick Option: Slider Post Slug” box right under the”Slider Filter:” setting, enter the slug (e.g., “colorado”) of the Slider Post you created in step 1. Save settings.
Add shortcode [show_slider name=”colorado”] wherever you want the slider (there is an insert button on the Page/Post Editor).
View your slide show.
