Bootstrap Carousel Slider – Responsive Image Slider

Add a responsive image slider to any page with one shortcode. Each slide is a
normal WordPress post with a featured image, a title and a caption, so you add
and reorder slides the same way you edit anything else on your site.

Built on the Bootstrap carousel markup, so if your theme already loads Bootstrap
the slider inherits your existing styling.

Adding a slider

1. Go to Sliders, then Add New. Set a title, add a caption in the editor, and
   set a featured image.
2. Put [show_bootstrap_carousel] in any post or page.

Options

Under Settings, then Carousel Settings:

• Show or hide the dot indicators
• Show or hide the previous and next arrows
• Show or hide captions
• How many slides to display
• Caption heading colour

Showing one category

Group slides with the Category taxonomy and show a single group:

[show_bootstrap_carousel category="homepage"]

In a widget or in your theme

There is a widget under Appearance, then Widgets. To place a slider directly in
a template file:

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[show_bootstrap_carousel]' ); ?>

Requirements

Your theme must load the Bootstrap CSS and JavaScript. The plugin supplies the
slider markup and its own small stylesheet, not the Bootstrap framework itself.

1. In your WordPress admin go to Plugins, then Add New, and search for
   “Bootstrap Carousel Slider”.
2. Click Install Now, then Activate.
3. Go to Sliders, then Add New, and create a slide with a featured image.
4. Put [show_bootstrap_carousel] in any post or page.

Your theme must load Bootstrap’s CSS and JavaScript for the slider to animate.

1. 

   This is how slider will look like on the website front-end

2. 

   Slider can be placed from sidebar and footer widgets

3. 

   Go to the Settings link from left side bar in wp-admin and then go to the link "Carousel Settings" and then change the settings as per your requirement.

4. 

   Go to left sidebar from wp-admin dashboard, Sliders link dropdown and click on add new slider, and enter title, content for caption and featured image for slider and publish it.

5. 

   Go to widgets settings from wp-admin dashboard and display that slider to your front end.

1.1.1

• Rewrote the plugin listing so people searching for “carousel slider” or
  “responsive image slider” can find it. No change to how the plugin works.
• The plugin is now called Bootstrap Carousel Slider – Responsive Image Slider.
  Your slides, settings and shortcodes are untouched.

1.1.0

• Fixed: the shortcode printed its markup instead of returning it, so the
  carousel appeared at the top of the page rather than where the shortcode was
  placed, and do_shortcode() returned nothing.
• Fixed: turning navigation off left the slide query undefined, so no slides
  were fetched. The query is now built independently of the display options.
• Fixed: a fresh install raised PHP warnings on every carousel and rendered
  with every feature switched off, because no default settings were stored.
  Defaults are now seeded on activation and applied when a setting is absent.
• Fixed: settings are validated when saved, and all output is escaped.
• Fixed: the stylesheet was linked from a hardcoded path that broke when the
  plugin folder was renamed. It now resolves relative to the plugin.
• Fixed: an empty image placeholder was rendered when no slides existed.
• Changed: the slide identifier is now unique per carousel, so more than one
  carousel can appear on the same page.
• Tested up to WordPress 7.1. Declared a minimum of PHP 7.0.
• Note: the previous stable tag referred to a version 4.3 that was never
  released. Versioning now follows the plugin’s actual history.

1.0

• Initial release.
