Using the Shortcode
After you’ve added images to your slideshow or changed any attributes to your slideshow and generated a shortcode you just need to copy the shortcode and paste it into the content of any page or post you want the slideshow to show up on.
Each slide will use the images title on the page. Please change the title to reflect what you want displayed on the slide or leave it blank to display no text on the image.
If you want it to show up on every page you’ll have to add some code to the header.php file in your theme.
See the codex’s do_shortcode article for more information on the matter.
See screenshot #3 for a description of the shortcode parameters.
