How can i update from an old version of this plugin?

Deactivate your current plugin, delete the plugin-folder, upload the new one and active it.

I want to update the extension from an older version. What should i pay attention to?

If you have custom JavaScript settings on the options page or if you have a custom CSS file, make sure to backup these data somewhere on your computer. You can overwrite or extend the JavaScript settings or the CSS statements of the new plugin after the update process.

The plugin doesn't seem to work on my site. Where is the mistake?

Highslide is automatically attached to all linked images that point to another images in post. That means make sure the following things: 1. The thumbnail image has a link to the big version of the image (you can do that in worpress when you insert in image) 2. If you insert a gallery make sure you link the thumbnails to the images, not to the attachment site

The plugin zooms all images on my site. I just want to zoom images in posts.

Use a CSS-class like ".post" in your template to mark your posts. Then customize the selectors in file "highslide-injection.js" in line 4. Every selector should be specific to your CSS-class. For example: ".post a[href$='jpg'] img".

Can i group images to slidehow groups?

Yes, remove the comment slashes of the first part in file "highslide-injection.js". Add slashes to the second part.

Can i customize the appearance and behaviour of Highslide JS?

Yes, you can configure Highslide JS via JavaScript as described on the Highslide website (http://highslide.com/) on the settings page in WordPress. A lot of settings are predefined. So customization is easy.

Where can i change the look of Highslide JS?

You can change main things on the settings page in wordpress (via JavaScript). You can format everything via CSS in the file "highslide/highslide.css" in the plugin folder.

I changed the settings of my installation and it doesn't work anymore. Can i restore the defaults?

There is a file named "default_settings.bak.js" in the plugin folder. You will find the JavaScript default settings in it.

Is it free to use?
