Description

The DisplayBuddy Slideshow creates image slideshows within WordPress through a reusable shortcode and its own admin panel, where you upload images from the Media Library, set captions, order slides, and adjust transition speed. It’s aimed at those who need to rotate highlights on the home page, display a portfolio cover, or set up a promotional banner without relying on a heavy page builder.

Main Features of the DisplayBuddy Slideshow

  • Slide editor in admin
    Dedicated screen for uploading images, reordering the sequence, and editing captions in a few clicks.
