## Description

Author: [Paweł Nosko](https://www.designcart.pl/pawel-nosko.html)

Project page (includes a demo video): [Design Cart Sand Slider – sand particle slideshow for WordPress](https://www.designcart.pl/laboratorium/378-pokaz-slajdow-z-efektem-ruchu-piasku-na-wydmie.html)

Features:

 * Multiple sliders managed from the WordPress admin
 * Dynamic slides with image, heading, subheading, and call-to-action
 * Drag-and-drop slide ordering
 * Slider settings for timing, fit mode, navigation, and colors
 * Shortcode embedding: `[dc_sand_slider id="123"]`
 * Optional automatic display via CSS selector, content filter, or theme hook
 * Sample slider created on activation

## Installation

 1. Upload the `design-cart-sand-slider` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
 3. Open Sand Slider in the admin menu, copy a shortcode, and place it on a page.
 4. Optionally configure automatic display under the Display tab (CSS selector, content,
    or hook).

## FAQ

### How do I display a slider?

Use the shortcode `[dc_sand_slider id="123"]`, replacing `123` with your slider 
ID. You can also enable automatic display in the slider settings.

### Does the sample slider load automatically?

Yes. On first activation the plugin creates an example slider with five demo slides.
