Frequently asked questions
Q1. How to arrange the width and height of the slideshow?
Sign in to your Dashboard, go to the Settings menu and finally click the Translucent slideshow menu.
The above option is only for widgets, for pages and posts this option is available in the shortcode itself.

In the Translucent slideshow menu. we have a separate option to update the slide delay and speed and this is for the widget. and the similar option available in the shortcode. Thus, use the shortcode parameter to change the sliding delay.

In the plugin admin page, we have the “Image directory” text box to enter the image folder. your images should available in that folder.
Example (default folder) :
wp-content/plugins/translucent-image-slideshow-gallery/gallery/
Note :
The folder directory path should start with the “wp-content” folder (see above example).
The folder directory path should end with slash “/” (see above example)
You have to change this folder location to your original location. (Best practice is don’t upload your original image into this default folder instead you change this default path to the original path)
