HG Slider [flexslider] Shortcode

The Flexslider-hg shortcode is a useful tool for displaying a rotator slider on your website. This shortcode uses the ‘slug’ attribute to specify which slider to display. If no ‘slug’ is provided, an error message is triggered. This shortcode returns the specified Flexslider rotator.

Shortcode: [flexslider]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible flexslider shortcode parameters and attributes:

• slug – Identifier for specific flexslider content to display

Examples and Usage

Basic example – Utilizing the flexslider shortcode to display an image slider associated with the slug “homepage”.

[flexslider slug="homepage" /]

Advanced examples

Here, we are using the flexslider shortcode to display an image slider associated with the slug “product-gallery”. This is particularly useful when you want to display a specific set of images, such as a product gallery on an e-commerce website.

[flexslider slug="product-gallery" /]

Another advanced example is using the shortcode without any slug parameter. In this case, the shortcode will return a message asking for a slug parameter. This is helpful in debugging and ensuring that you have provided all necessary parameters for the shortcode to function properly.

[flexslider /]
