Wordpress Slideshow Widget - Very Frustrated

nronan

I have been trying for days to find a slideshow widget for my wordpress site that will work with my smugmug gallery feed. I can't find a single one which works properly.

Anyfeed: Works, but images are tiny and will not resize no matter what. Tried reverting as well, now old version does not work.

Smugmug for Wordpress: Sidebar widget does not work.

I've tried others as well. I've also encountered a lot of blog posts of people looking for the same thing. Is there no easy way to tie these two platforms together? All I want is a sidebar slideshow of one of my smugmug galleries.

I'm totally at my wit's end, and at the point of using a flickr stream to host my sidebar slideshow for the site.

Has anyone got a widget to work properly?

my blog is www.sailingthesound.com

Have you tried the embeddable slideshow that you can generate in your SmugMug galleries? Go to the gallery in question and click Share > Show Off. You can configure a slideshow to your liking here and then click Copy Embed Code. Try pasting that into your WP sidebar, and see if that works for you. That's the easiest method to generate an embeddable slideshow that you can insert in another webpage.

That did work after some resizing. A lot simpler than using a plugin!

Is there any way to remove the smuggy logo? It overlaps some of my pictures.

Insert the red anywhere between the existing parameters in the code.
Should be two places. <param ... and <embed... sections.

....&clickToImage=true&showLogo=false&captions=false....
