Sorry to bring up an old thread, but thanks radicaldesigns! That worked perfectly!

Can anyone suggest a simple slideshow plugin/widget?

Ideally it would let you create a slideshow using images picked from the WP media library and use a shortcode or widget to display it. RadSlide was perfect, until I discovered I cannot use it in the widget/sidebar ??

I found a few, but they either just use post images, or need pointed to a directory with images uploaded into it. None allow selection from the WP media library. I need that because this site is primarily maintained by some not-so-computer-savy people.

I’m using the RadSlide slideshow plugin. Its shortcode is [radslide #] with # being the slideshow ID #. It works fine in posts/pages.

I am unable to get ANY shortcode to work in a text widget. It simply does not process them.
