• I liked this slider for it’s elegant simplicity, but it lacked the necessary Custom Post type integration that I needed. So I modified it.

    This version:

    • Is compatible with Custom Post Types
    • Offers show/hide for Titles
    • Offers show/hide for Slider Navigation

    Enjoy!

    NOTE: This code replaces the code inside news-scroller.php
