Frequently Asked Questions
Can I exclude certain images from a slideshow?
To exclude an image from a slideshow, click the slideshow in the Visual Editor until the “Edit Gallery” icon shows up, then click it to begin editing the gallery.
Click the X on an image to remove it from the slideshow.
Can I change the order of images in a slideshow after the images have been added?
You can change the order of images in a slideshow by dragging and dropping them into place, or by using the “Random Order” or “Reverse Order” options in the Gallery Settings area.
The “Link to” and “Columns” options do not apply to slideshows.
How do I adjust the size of a slideshow?
Slideshows are set to fill up the full content width of your theme. Resizing them is not currently possible but if you try different themes you will find that the size of slideshows varies.
Can I turn off captions on a slideshow?
Captions cannot currently be turned off on a slideshow. If you want a caption not to display, you’ll need to edit the image itself to remove it.

Yes, you can.

The old [slideshow] shortcode will continue to work, but to access all the new features – such as ordering, excluding certain images, etc. – you would need to update your shortcode to use the new [gallery type="slideshow"] format.
