We are very excited to release next version i.e. Version 1.1 of our free WordPress plugin – Smooth Slider to display Featured Posts as image and content slideshow. There are three changes incorporated in this new version as follows:-
1. Active Slide in the slideshow will now be highlighted with bolder and bigger navigation number
2. Added <noscript> tag for browsers not supporting JavaScript for showing the slideshow
3. Fixed issue with WordPress MU Smooth Slider Options update from the settings page. You can freely install Smooth Slider on WordPress MU.
Upgrade instruction:-
1. If you are upgrading the plugin manually (not using WordPress automatic upgrade facility), deactivate the plugin first, download and install the new version and then activate the plugin. Please refer the plugin page for more details. Otherwise If you have already installed the plugin on your blog, then auto upgrade the plugin from Plugin page only by clicking on the link “Upgrade the Plugin” next to the plugin details.
2. If you have WP-Super Cache plugin installed, Delete the Cache and then open the blog page with the slider. Now you can see the active slide number as bolder and bigger which actually helps the visitors to recognize the slide number more easily.
New users can go to the Smooth Slider Plugin page and get the details from there. This plugin is already approved and hosted on WordPress Plugin Directory, Go and grab it.
We express our thanks to Jake and Philip M. Hofer (Frumph) whose invaluable feedbacks helped us to contribute a better version of Smooth Slider to the WordPress Community.
We would be very glad to hear from you. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
