Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Where to upload my image?

add/edit/delete images in this XML file. “wp-content/plugins/horizontal-scroll-image-slideshow/gallery/widget.xml”

Dashboard → Plugins → Editor → Select horizontal scroll image slideshow plugin (Available top right drop-down box) → Select the XML file name (widget.XML) and update the xml file with your own image link.

Q2. Why my image gallery out of range?

In front end widget area, if you see gallery out of area or invisible, it because of height and width of the widget, so you should arrange width and height of the widget in widget configuration area. In default I have fixed width: 200px and height: 155px.

Q3. Why my slideshow not scroll properly or why one image overlaps another at the time of scroll?

Set the width and height to the width/height of the largest image in your slideshow!

Q4. I want to use this plugin in the pages or posts?

Use my another plugin Image Horizontal Reel Scroll Slideshow to load this gallery in the pages or posts

  2. Kirk says:

    OK I have downloaded the widget but I’m not sure where it will get my images from to display. I don’t have much experience with .xml files which is why I chose wordpress as an all in one solution.

    I was to add some images to this widget so that I can then display it on my home page. How would I do this?

    • Admin says:

      1. Add your images anywhere and take the URL.
      2. Take our XML file(open in notepad).
      3. In that you can see the image URLs(replace the image URL with ur new URL)

  3. MyRivne says:

    Hi, how to insert it via tepmlate? what code should I insert to my theme? thank you!!!

    • admin says:

      1.You can paste the below given code directly into PHP page.

      • MyRivne says:

        Hi,
        thank U for quick answer, I will test it.

        One more question, is it possible to show 2 or more pictures simultaneously? I mean, f.e. to show 2 pictures, then 1 more comes, and one lives. (something like train)

        Or it is some idea for future function.

        Thank U !!!

  18. Mark says:

    @ things can be added to make this a much improved widget.

    1. Auto thumbnail (automatically resize the image to fit)
    http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/

    2. A page to select the images in the admin, instead of having to modify the xml file each time.

  29. tu sukebe says:

    The plugin only seemed to work if I used the 3 provided links, but it will not run if I have more than that. Installed it in the sidebar. Is there a way to fix this? Used both Dreamweaver and Notepad to edit the xml to add 10+ images/links. Thanks!

  30. Harald says:

    Hi Gopi
    I like this plugin very much. It works great for me. I have to say that I like the way you add images. It is very easy to both add images and put a link in, so I must say that I don’t understand some of the comments here.
    I wonder if it is difficult to make the images loop instead of make them move with the cursor?
    Thanks for all your hard work

    An added important aspect is that if you are an elderly person, travel insurance regarding pensioners is something you need to really think about. The more mature you are, a lot more at risk you will be for making something awful happen to you while in another country. If you are never covered by some comprehensive insurance policies, you could have a number of serious difficulties. Thanks for giving your hints on this website.

    I find myself coming for your blog more and more often to the
    point where my visits are almost daily now!
    You’re probably as big a fanatic as I am which is why I recently
    said?-
    The first and most basic way to power a remote controlled car is always to have a battery pack running the motors. This really is the kind of system that you will see in beginning cars. If implemented correctly, it may be fairly effective. Its main strong point is that it is very light. Cars using electric power can reach all new levels of lightness. Even so, like all of the options, there’s a tradeoff: electric cars are the slowest of them all. So, you will have to decide whether you wish a light car that handles well, or a speed demon that will tear up the competition. And that brings us to the next choice, which is definitely a bit speedier than the electric alternative.

    These days of austerity in addition to relative anxiousness about having debt, most people balk contrary to the idea of making use of a credit card to make acquisition of merchandise or maybe pay for a vacation, preferring, instead just to rely on the tried plus trusted means of making settlement – hard cash. However, if you’ve got the cash on hand to make the purchase entirely, then, paradoxically, that’s the best time just to be able to use the cards for several motives.

Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

    How would i go about using this widget multiple times in the same site? Looking to have it occupy the “Widget area below header” on my home page, and “Widget area above footer” on all other pages. Usually i would just add the widget to both zones, and control its display using the “widget context” plugin, but i cannot make 2 instances of your widget.

I don’t want to use titles (captions) for any of the images….but I still have a large gap at the bottom for where the title/caption would go. Is there a way to get rid of that space? I couldn’t find it myself. Any help would be really great! Thanks!!
