  Is there not a way to put the swift slider elsewhere on the page? I’d really like to do a slide through recent posts in the middle of my page rather than at the top. Basically, it should look like what’s in example 4 (http://themeforest.net/item/flexform-retina-responsive-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/4258755) except rather than showing two items from “News & Events” right next to each other, it would rotate through the posts with the excerpts. Should I just find another plugin for this?

  You can create sliders and insert them anywhere in the content, as you can see on this page: http://flexform.swiftideas.net/shortcodes/sliders/

  Documentation on creating sliders: click.

  Thanks Cosmin, I’ve seen that shortcode and tried to use it, but that provides simply an image with the post title. I’m looking to get the image with at least an excerpt of the text below, and nowhere in the documentation can I find out what the options are with the shortcode. Plus, even just the shortcode examples given aren’t really displaying well on my page.

  I’m attaching a picture that shows two things: 1. The “recent posts” element, which is displaying correctly, and 2. a textbox using the slider shortcode which isn’t working. It’s got one post name right on top of the other with no image shown.

  Thanks for your help.

  Okay – I figured out that the thumbnail was attached to the featured image rather than the “thumbnail” function in the post, but I still can’t figure out how to add the excerpt to the slider. I’ve tried show_excerpt=”yes” in the shortcode, but it doesn’t work. I don’t see this in the list of shortcodes in my editor, so I’m simply copying what is listed on the example. Is there somewhere a list of options for that shortcode?

  Argh – and I hate to add on more to this, but the swift framework shortcode editor button (that little red button that I see in the documentation) isn’t on my editor. I have very few plugins active (Breadcrumb NavXT, COntact Form 7, Revolution Slider, and WP Twitter), and deactivating them doesn’t seem to make a difference.

  Hey,

  Unfortunately the swift slider doesn’t have that functionality, sorry.

  As for the shortcode generator button, in the last versions its icon was changed with a black cog wheel inside brackets.
