When using a Theme Blvd theme, this plugin gives you slick interface to build custom sliders.

== Description ==

When using a Theme Blvd theme, this plugin gives you slick interface to build custom, responsive sliders that can then be incorporated throughout your website via shortcode or [custom layouts](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-blvd-layout-builder/).

= Quick Feature Overview =

* WordPress admin interface to create custom sliders.
* An element added to the [Layout Builder](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-blvd-layout-builder/) to include a custom slider.
* An element added to the [Layout Builder](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-blvd-layout-builder/) to include a slider generated from posts (with Theme Blvd framework v2.2.1+).
* A shortcode for inserting custom sliders into pages and posts - `[slider id="your-slider"]`
* A shortcode for inserting sliders generated from posts (with Theme Blvd framework v2.2.1+) - `[post_slider category="foo"]` `[post_slider tag="bar"]`
* Sliders are responsive and will scale to fit their surrounding container.
* Three slider types included by default for custom sliders - [Flexslider](http://flexslider.woothemes.com), [Nivo](http://dev7studios.com/nivo-slider/), and [Roundabout](http://fredhq.com/projects/roundabout)
* Slider types are extendable through Theme Blvd framework API. - [View Docs](http://dev.themeblvd.com/tutorial/add-custom-slider/)

**NOTE: For this plugin to do anything, you must have a theme with Theme Blvd framework v2.2+ activated.**

2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

= Displaying your custom sliders =

Sliders you create can be utilized within your website in two ways.

1. You can insert them with the slider shortcode like this: `[slider id="your-slider"]`
2. If you have the [Layout Builder](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-blvd-layout-builder/) running, you can insert the sliders you've created into your custom layout via the "Slider" element.

== Screenshots ==
