ParticipantI've been using WooSlider from WooThemes in all my StudioPress/Genesis sites (that use a slider, anyway). I tried the Genesis sliders but I'd rather not have to create a post to make a slide.
WooSlider gives you lots of different options for placing it in your site, from template tags to shortcodes to widgets, and it's responsive.
It's not free, but it is good.

MemberI will definitely try it. Thank you!...Just to make sure... Can I load a gallery of pictures on ti without having to create a post or page?

ParticipantI wouldn't technically call it a gallery of pictures, but here's more info:
Each slide is a "custom post type" and they are all managed in a section called Slideshows.
Slides can be added to "Slide Groups" and then you can specify a different Slide Group for each instance of WooSlider on your site.
A slide's content can be just an image, an image linked to something else, an image and text, just text, and maybe other possibilities I haven't thought of yet.

MemberIts suposed to go after the navigation bar...thats where the genesis slider used to be...

ParticipantFirebug isn't showing a widget area there. This might be a silly question, but did you 'Save' the widget after adding it to the widget area?

MemberYes...I did save it. But I dont think the problem is the widget. I think the problem is WooSlider. When I create a new slider, add images and click on the SLIDESHOW to set everything up....the code goes into the page...when I publish the page....nothing! No pictures on the page at all...Am I doing something wrong?

ParticipantI'm not sure - it's always worked for me. Want me to take a look in the admin? That would be quicker than trying to figure this out without seeing it myself.

MemberOk...what do you need?
December 14, 2012 at 3:27 pm #5280John
ParticipantCreate a new admin user and send me the info at [email protected]. After I'm done you can delete that user account.
