From the developer

Vincent Mimoun-Prat's own description of bxSlider integration for WordPress, lightly tidied.

bxSlider for WordPress integrates the great responsive content slider bxSlider jQuery plugin in
your very own WordPress site. Galleries are turned into beautiful sliders, but you can also roll you own sliders using
special shortcode. The best thing is that you are not limited to the number of sliders or galleries per page, you can
have as many as you want!

Why should you use this slider? I’ll quote the bxSlider’s website:

  • Horizontal, vertical, and fade modes
  • Slides can contain images, video, or HTML content
  • Advanced touch / swipe support built-in
  • Uses CSS transitions for slide animation (native hardware acceleration!)
  • Full callback API and public methods
  • Small file size, fully themed, simple to implement
  • Browser support: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, iOS, Android, IE7+

[gallery] and [bxgallery] shortcodes

You can use the default WordPress [gallery] shortcode or use the additional [bxgallery] shortcode to create awesome
dynamic galleries. These shortcodes take the following parameters:

  • ids [a comma-separated list of image IDs]: This is usually inserted for you when you create the gallery from the
    media box. If you omit this parameter, all the images you have uploaded along with the post will be included in the
    gallery.
  • exclude_featured [1 or 0]: if set to 1 and you did not specify specific ids as above, the post featured image
    will be excluded from the gallery. If you omit this parameter, it will default to the value set in the plugin settings
    page.
  • hide_carousel [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the carousel with thumbnails will not be shown. If you omit this
    parameter, it will default to the value set in the plugin settings page.
  • duration integer: the duration of slides in milliseconds
  • speed integer: the speed of transitions in milliseconds
  • extra_options comma-separated list of javascript options to be passed to bxSlider directly: this allows to
    directly specify some options for bxSlider if those options are not yet provided as settings or shortcode parameters by
    our plugin. For instance: [bxgallery extra_options=”pager: false, “]
  • transition ‘fade’, ‘horizontal’ or ‘vertical’: the type of transition between slides
  • adaptive_height [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the height of the slider/gallery will automatically adjust to the content
    of the current slide
  • auto_start [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the slideshow will automatically start after the page has loaded.
  • shuffle [1 or 0]: if set to 1, the images will be shown in random order

[slider] and [bxslider] shortcodes

You can also build your own custom sliders, with any content you’d like in them.

Here is an example:

[slider]
    This is my first slide. I can contain any html you like.
[next-slide]
    And the shortcode above has made this text be the second slider.
[next-slide]
    And thus we are now having the third slide of this slider. Below we close the initial shortcode to notify the end 
    of the slider. Simple, isn't it?
[/slider]
