Simple Post Carousel WordPress Plugin
This plugin allows you to use the shortcode [simple_post_carousel] that outputs list of posts as a carousel. You can show posts from any category that you specify in the shortcode attribute.
Instead of loading all posts at a time, this plugin comes with an ajax based previous/next navigation that pulls posts via ajax call.
Currently the plugin comes with very simplicity as it's name described. Currently it has only two attributes for customization.
- cat: Category ID from where you want to pull posts for the carousel.
- items: Number of items in the carouse.
You can use the shortcode in this way: [simple_post_carousel cat="x" items="y"]
