Boban Karišik developed nice jQuery slide show images script. This jQuery slide show, rotate images, and showing out transparent div with image description.
I used this jQuery Script, to develop WordPress plugin which can be customized in admin area. This plugin will rotate latest posts from blog, presented with selected image, post headline, and optional post excerpt. One post can have one J Post Slider, image for this animation.
You can set up:
- How many latest post to rotate
- Post offset, if you don’t want to show latest post in J Post Slider Box
- Images Width and Height for animation box. NOTE: every image you pick for J Post Slider plugin need to have same sizes, to make this animation look smootly
- Animation speed
- To show or not post excerpt
- Headline and excerpt can show up from top, left, bottom or right. Plugin can show up text area top and bottom, or left and right reciprocally or it can show area randomly
- Text area opacity
- Select categories from which this plugin can rotate post.
J Post Slider WordPress Plugin at the admin post page
Installation:
- Unzip JPostSlider archive zip file, and upload folder JPostSlider into wp-content/plugins/ folder
- Activate J Post Slider WordPress plugin
- Go into Settings -> J Post Slider, and customize options for your need
- Now at the Writing post panel, you can find Select Image for J Post Slider Plugin Animation Box 😉 where you can select image for J Post animation. You can pick only image which is uploaded into post gallery when you editing post. When you write new post you can pick from 10 latest images.
-
Add this code into your template file outside of loop, where you want to put this animation box.
This Plugin will present your HOT posts, in jQuery animation show. You just make sure that every image, you pick have same sizes. Plugin will give notice if you pick image with wrong size. I used Scriptaculous, web 2.0 javascript to call php function to load images, without loading whole page.
If you have some idea how to improve this plugin, i would like to hear it, and also i want to see your comments how do you like it or not like it. If you want you can send me a link with this plugin in action, and i will publish it here so people can see it.

Download J Post Slider plugin.
I got that already fixed, It was installed in a extra folder.
But still I cannot get it to work.
In the options page it is showing almost all my keywords in stead of categories. I do not know what to do.
Can you help please?
It doesn’t look like anyone has updated this site recently, but I’ll post anyway. I am running J Post Slider 1.3.1 on WordPress 2.8.4. Frequently (too frequently) the text from a post will disappear from the slide animation. The image remains, and the text and images from the other posts remain. In order to recover I have to delete the entire post and start again. Any advice?
Thanks.
This is a pretty good plugin. I will try it out on my website.
What can we say about medium stars? ,
Hi,
what is the compatability range for this wp plugin ?
i tried and nothing. it sucks.
Same problem as Jim above, anyone knows a solution?
problem with picture’s size…even picking the right size but still get an error for picture’s size
therefore…nothing shows up
is there any way to disregard the picture’s size?
The products are first-class quality,welcome you to purchase.
nice plugin ,works like a charm
This could be is a great plugin, BUT :
It is not compatible with lightbox and also with the plugins like lightbox ( fancybox, greybox etc…)
Do the trying youll see….
Also it will be more usefull if it shows more posts than there is in the home page when you use to show one on two posts… then it will work also like a archive show
Any way I doubt that people use it if this non compatibility is not resolved.
if this problem is resolved then I will use it surely…

Thanks for a plugin!
The question is one:
How to delete record from show in a slider?
Hello,
This is a great plugin, really smooth and great looking.
I have it set up for “left only” text area and would like to know how to solve the following issues (i’ve looked all over the place already…) :
– Have text area slid in from left-right rather than from top-down.
– Get rid of the 10px margin on top of the text column (I would like it to overlay the post foto from top to bottom).
– Define the color / opacity when hovering over the text area. Right now it gets very bright. It might be my theme, if so, where and how can I define the CSS to have it not change whether hovering on not?
I would really really appreciate your help. You’ve already helped me soo much with this great plugin, it would be a shame to stop now 😉
Best,
C.
Hello again,
I have figured out how to fix the margin problem… That was actually my stylesheet acting up 😉
However this plugin is generating jquery conflicts because you dont use the wp_enqueue_script function recommended by WordPress.
Would you mind implementing that into the head call in jslider.php ?
Please???
i try to configure this plugin ..it says some error ..now i’m using futures content gallery .. but i like jPost..
It looks good, but I can’t get it to show on the site. I’ve selected categories from the admin page, but nothing shows up where I add my php code.
Love it pro… thaxs for share this 🙂
