== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I use this plugin? =

It's easy! Create a few slides using the Slides custom post type. Then, on a post or page of your choosing, use the [anything_slides] shortcode to embed the slideshow.

= How do I display one category, specifically, in my slideshow? =

There are a variety of options you can add to the [anything_slides] shortcode:

* cat *the category slug of your desired category*
* width or height *the width or height of the slideshow - this overrides the global settings*
* delay *the time between slides*
* resume *time between user interaction and slideshow resume*
* animation *how long the slide animation lasts*

= How can I add this to a theme file? =

Easy. Just use the standard method of embedding shortcodes into theme files: `<?php echo do_shortcode( "[anything_slides]" ); ?>`
