WordPress Scroller Plugin

WordPress Scroller features

The solution consists of a combination of 2 parts:

Our Likno Web Scroller Builder... (1/2)

Use the application's "WordPress Scroller Add-in" to publish your scroller for your specific WordPress blog.

&  ...our special "WordPress Scroller" Plugin (2/2)

Install the plugin online on your WordPress blog.

Through the plugin you can upload the files of your scrollers/sliders, choose whether or not an anchor element will be printed and finally choose the positioning method of it.

The Wordpress plugin supports 3 scroller positioning methods:

- "Shortcode" method: This means that you can add this scroller inside the post or page that you want, using the visual editor. You will find the appropriate button there. Just click it and select the scroller you want from the list. The scroller will appear only on the single view of your page/article. However, there is an option 'Show scroller everywhere' that enables you to show this scroller in every place that this page/article shows(for example a category archive view etc...).

- "Template tag" method: Using this method you should copy and paste the generated code, inside the template file (for example header.php) that you want your scroller to appear.

- "Widget" method: A widget instance of the selected scroller is initially created and found in the widgets administration page (should be at 'YOURSITEURL/wp-admin/widgets.php'), under the "Inactive Widgets" section. Just drag this widget instance and drop it inside the Widget Area that you want.

Configure/Use the Likno Web Scroller Plugin on WordPress

Step 1: Configure your scroller/slider

While in WordPress:

• Login to the Admin area of your WordPress blog.
• Go to the Likno Web Scroller plugin options (found at "Settings" after installing the plugin).
• Configure the Scroller options, don't forget to select Scroller Positioning Method
• Click "Save Settings"

Switch to the Likno Web Scroller Builder desktop application:

• Step 1 - Configure your scroller (images, colors, borders, effects, styles, etc.) through the Likno Web Scroller Builder desktop application.
• Step 2 - Choose how your scroller is "positioned" inside your WordPress posts/pages.

  While in Likno Web Scroller Builder software, you will find the Positioning property at the bottom of the Project Items tab.

  There are 3 sub-options:

  "Insert inside a page Element (div, span, td, etc)", "Replace a page Element", "Replace a page Image" (by using it's filename).
  
  Copy the element id from the WordPress Plugin (item [1] on screenshot, if of course you want to print the element), select "Insert inside a page Element (div, span, td, etc)" or "Replace a page Element" as Container Positioning (item [2], and paste the previous copied id(item [1] on screenshot) inside the Element ID field (item [3] on screenshot).

Step 2:Publish and Upload the scroller files

While in Likno Web Scroller Builder software:

• Publish the scroller using the "Add-ins WordPress Project Publish WordPress Project"
  
  

  Note: When asked for "Site_Root folder" use any local folder on your hard drive you like (or just leave the default) [1] in screenshot below for the compiled files to be produced.
  Also, the "Name of Compiled Project" [2] in screenshot below, should be the same as the "Scroller name" in Likno Web Scroller WordPress Plugin Settings.

  
• Now you can upload the produced ZIP file using the 'Upload ZIP' file button at plugin settings.

Note: The name of the scroller is again the one you selected in the options of the plugin (default is 'scroller1'). You can change these options in the Tools Project Properties Subfolders in the Likno Web Scroller Builder application.
