Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WOW Slider

http://wowslider.com/wowslider-free-setup.zip Create an image slideshow in WOW Slider program, click "Publish" button, and select "Wordpress Slider" as a publishing method - wowslider.zip WordPress plugin will be created Install and activate the created module ? wowslider.zip through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress WOWSlider menu will appear. Go to WOW Slider -> All Sliders and copy the shortcode of your slider Add the shortcode inside the page where you want your slider to appear Preview changes Use WOW Slider menu WOW Slider -> Add New to add each next slider [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omi32W6QyY4]

Sorry, it's impossible. You should make all changes in WOWSlider application and generate a new module.

To insert WOWSlider into header you should use WOWSlider PHP code. Go to WOW Slider -> All Sliders and click on "Excerpt view" button at the top right corner. Additional line "for templates" with php code will appear under line with shortcode. You should add this php code into your header (Appearance->Editor->Header), for example: <?php wowslider(1); ?>

You should install a special plugin that allows to add php code into text widget firstly. For example, "PHP Text Widget": https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-text-widget/ After that go to WOW Slider -> All Sliders and click on "Excerpt view" button at the top right corner. Additional line "for templates" with php code will appear under line with shortcode. You should select a simple text widget and add PHP code into it, for example: <?php wowslider(1); ?>

You should select Appearance -> Editor and change "header.php" from templates in the right column. 5. Drop down menus open behind WOWSlider It seems "z-index" problem. WOWSlider's value of "z-index" parameter is 90. So, "z-index" value of your menu should be greater than 90. If problem will persist, please contact with customer support at support [at] wowslider [dot] com. Provide us a direct link to your webpage with a problem. 6. WOWSlider doesn't degradate nicely to CSS-only slider Notice, WOWSlider provides this feature since v.2.1. So, if you use an older version, it will not work. Also, degradation to CSS-slider will not work, if you use "On-demand image loading" option. This option means that the images will be loaded from the script.

It seems that your slider works in pure css mode. Make sure that javascript is enabled in your browser. If problem will persist, probably it caused by jquery conflict. So, please contact with Customer Support at support [at] wowslider [dot] com and provide us a direct link to your webpage with a problem.

WOWSlider generates paths to files according to your WordPress settings. So, if your site is "https", all paths in HTML code should be "https" too. Please try to follow this instruction: http://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/web-publishing/https-for-wordpress/ 10. I have just downloaded WOW Slider for Windows. It was installed fine, however it will not launch at all. Try to do the following: Control panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> (Performance) Settings -> Data Execution Prevention. Turn off DEP or add WOW Slider in the exception list.

Yes, it's possible. To insert WOWSlider into frontpage only, you should add the following code in the "header.php" file: <?php if (is_home() || is_front_page()) wowslider(ID); ?> (where ID is your slider identifier - number) in the place where you want to have a slider.

You should use "On-demand image loading" option in this case. Only first image should be pre-loaded and slideshow will start. All other images will be loaded during the playing.

It's possible to add individual link to each image. You should select image by clicking and specify link in "Url" field.
