From the developer

itthinx's own description of WunderSlider Gallery, lightly tidied.

This plugin provides an automated way to convert any standard WordPress gallery that is embedded on a page using the [gallery] shortcode into a WunderSlider.

WunderSlider Gallery also supports NextGEN Gallery to embed any gallery as a WunderSlider using the [wunderslider_nggallery] shortcode or by enabling it as the default renderer for the [nggallery] shortcode.

Usage / Notes on settings

After you have followed the instructions on installing WunderSlider and the WunderSlider Gallery plugin, go to Appearance > WunderSlider Gallery and have a look at the default settings.

 [gallery] shortcode attributes :
  • The size attribute uses full by default. Set it to another size if you don’t need the full image size.

    Default sizes are thumbnail, medium, large and full.

  • WunderSlider attributes that use a dash in the attribute name must be used with an underscore instead when passed to the [gallery] shortcode. If used, container-class, container-style, container-height and container-width must be passed as container_class, container_style, container_height and container_width to the [gallery] shortcode.
    This is especially important when the display="proportional" setting is used, as you will have to provide the container width and height explicitly.

    Example:

    [gallery display=”proportional” container_width=”80%” container_height=”360px”]

  • If you do not want the WunderSlider applied to a specific gallery, you must add the wunderslider="false" attribute, for example:

    [gallery wunderslider=”false”]

Usage with NextGEN Gallery

Any NextGEN gallery can be rendered as a WunderSlider using the [wunderslider_nggallery] shortcode or by enabling defaults for NextGEN Gallery shortcodes in the Appearance > WunderSlider Gallery settings.
