Managing the Slideshow (Meteor Slides)
Overview
Slideshows are a perfect way to keep your site fresh and link customers to areas within your site you'd like to highlight. We've installed a plugin, Meteor Slides, which allows you to easily add or remove images.
Log into WordPress, click on Slides. You will see the following Options:
Slides
Add New
Slideshows
Settings
Slides
When you click on slides you will see all the slides that are currently in your slideshow or any drafts you might have. This overview is a great way to see the Slide Titles as well if the slide has a link. (All slides should link to an area in your site)
Add New
Adding a New Slide is easy. Simply click on Add New and follow these steps:
Enter the Title of the Slide
Fill out SEO by Yoast Meta Description - just a quick sentence about the slide.
Set Featured Image (Be sure the slide is already cropped to the correct size)
Add a Slide Link
If you have multiple slide shows check off the appropriate slideshow. (If no Slideshows are listed then you can skip this step)
Publish
Go to the live site to view the new slide
Settings
The settings show you what the height and width the slides should be, the transition style and navigation.
Delete a Slide
To delete a slide go to Slides > Hover over the Slide Title > Click Trash
Slide Show Shortcode
When using just one slideshow here's the appropriate shortcode:

For more information here's a video that gives a great step-by-step tutorial. The first minute or two of the video is about installing the plug-in; you can skip that.
