Upload the **meteor-slides** folder to your **/wp-content/plugins/** directory or go to Plugins -> Add New from your Dashboard in WordPress. 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress 3. Use the Settings link or go to Slides -> Settings to access the Meteor Slides settings. = Configure Slideshow = *Before adding any slides, enter the slide height and width in the settings so the slides are the correct dimensions.* = Add Slideshow = Use `<?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>` to add this slideshow to your theme, use `[meteor_slideshow]` to add it to your Post or Page content, or use the Meteor Slides Widget to add it to a sidebar. = Meteor Slides Documentation = Check out the [Meteor Slides Documentation](http://www.jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/installation/ "Meteor Slides Documentation") for more information on using Meteor Slides, adding slideshows, using metadata, and advanced customization. *Please [post any questions or problems](http://wordpress.org/tags/meteor-slides?forum_id=10#postform "Post a question or problem in the forums") in the WordPress.org support forums.* == Frequently Asked Questions == = I add a slide, save or publish it, and then it's missing or not found, what gives? = Every post needs a title, make sure to give your slide a title where is says "Enter title here". This title is mostly used just to label them in the backend, but it will also be used as the title of your link if you add a link. = I added an image to my post, why isn't it showing up in the slide? = Make sure to click "Use as featured image" after uploading your image. If the image is added correctly to the slide, you should see a thumbnail of that image in the Slide Image metabox. = How can I switch the order of the slides? = The slides load in the order they were published, you can change the publish date of a slide post to switch the order. If you'd like drap-and-drop slide sorting, try a plugin like [Post Types Order](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-types-order/ "Post Types Order plugin"). = Why is the slideshow covering up my dropdown menus? = The `z-index` on the slideshow is higher than the dropdowns, causing them to be layered below the slides. Lower the `z-index` of `.meteor-slides` or raise the `z-index` of your dropdowns until the dropdowns are above the slideshow. = How do I customize the slideshow's CSS stylesheet? = Copy **meteor-slides.css** from **/meteor-slides/css/** to your theme's directory to replace the plugin's default stylesheet. If you have navigation enabled, be sure to copy the **buttons.png**, **next.png**, and **prev.png** files to your theme's images folder and update the image paths, or create new graphics to replace them. Learn more about [customizing the stylesheet](http://www.jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/customizing-the-stylesheet/ "Meteor Slides Documentation") for Meteor Slides. = How do I customize the slideshow's loop template? = Copy **meteor-slideshow.php** from **/meteor-slides/** to your theme's directory to replace the plugin's default slideshow loop. Learn more about [customizing the slideshow template](http://www.jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/customizing-the-slideshow-template/ "Meteor Slides Documentation") for Meteor Slides. = I installed Meteor Slides, and now my theme or plugin's jQuery goodies are broken! = Your theme or plugin is probably loading an extra copy of jQuery from the theme or plugin, or a third party server. This is unnecessary because WordPress already uses jQuery and it is included in the WordPress install. Meteor Slides loads the version that is within WordPress, to fix this, change your theme or plugin to use the copy of jQuery that comes with WordPress, like this `<?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?>`. It's also possible that a script in your theme or another plugin is using the "$" shortcut instead of "jQuery", which will break because WordPress loads jQuery in ["no conflict" mode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#jQuery_noConflict_wrappers "no conflict mode"). Try inspecting the site with Firebug or another tool to look for JavaScript errors. = I just installed Meteor Slides, but the Slides menu is missing, where do I go? = If the Slides menu is missing, you probably have the [Members](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/ "Members plugin") plugin activated. Meteor Slides supports the Members plugin, so if you have them both running you can use Members to choose which roles can manage the slides or slideshow settings. Take a look at [this blog post](http://www.jleuze.com/using-the-members-plugin-with-meteor-slides/ "Using the Members plugin with Meteor Slides") for more info on using these plugins together. = Meteor Slides is awesome, what can I do to help? = You can help right on this page by rating the plugin or voting for its compatibility with the latest version of WordPress.
