   I have the Porfolio Slideshow plugin working fine - however - when i go to add an image to my post or page content it gets included in the Slideshow automatically! How can I stop this happening please? I've tried going to 'gallery' tab and deleting it from the list in there but this also deletes the image from the 'Media Library' completely. Help me Mr Dalton Rooney, your plugin's great but I'm going wrong somewhere...

   Hi Surfsup74 -
   The behavior you describe is exactly what the plugin is supposed to do. You upload images to a post or page, and it adds them to the slideshow. Easy!

   If you want to exclude a particular image, you would do that with the exclude attribute. It's in the documentation tab under "Portfolio Slideshow" settings in your dashboard.

   Also, in the Pro version we have a "standalone" slideshow builder which means you can add only the images you want to the slideshow and attach it to any page.

   Best regards,
   Dalton

   Thankyou Dalton,
   This bit yes...
   [portfolio_slideshow exclude="1,2,3,4"]

   However, I have the slideshow tag in the template likeso:
   <?php echo do_shortcode('[portfolio_slideshow]');?>
   and not in the write post box so does this mean there's no way to achieve what I want (via wordpress admin).

   Thanks

   You've the plugin running in a header? You could write a workaround. You need create a variable you can assign a value to on each page/post.

   Without seeing your specific example, here is a rough idea of how to write the workaround:
   1. build a variable placed appropriately to (before somewhere) your embedded tag
   var LeaveOut;

   2. change your slide show tag to something like
   '[portfolio_slideshow exclude=LeaveOut]'

   3. assign a value to the images you want to exclude on your page or post
   var LeaveOut="1,2,3,4";
