In WordPress the plugin is called Datoden Slideshow – in the DT-addons menu it is listed as DT-slideshow.
How Slideshow works
DT-slideshow is a slideshow builder right inside WordPress. You see the slideshow live while you build it, exactly as visitors will, and everything is saved automatically. Place it on a page with one click, or use the block or the shortcode.
Focus point
Click the most important part of the image, or double-click it in the preview, and that part stays in view on every screen, phones included. You can also darken the image behind the text and choose how the text animates in.
Place it with one click
Under Show it on the website, choose a page and Above or Below the page content. The slideshow is added straight away without editing the page. You can also use the Slideshow block or the shortcode [datoden_slideshow id="12"].
Transitions and formats
The free version includes the Fade, Slide and Zoom in transitions, round arrows and dots. Pick one of six formats from Square to Full screen, and control Change image automatically with Time per image.
Accessible to everyone
Slideshows have a pause/play button, respond to the arrow keys and can be swiped on phones. Visitors who prefer reduced motion get a calm fade without zoom, and alt text comes from the media library.
Every transition, even per image Pro
Pro adds eight transitions: slide up, zoom out, blur, wipe, circle, parallax, cube and flip. With Own effect for this image, a single image can use a different transition from the rest of the slideshow.
Motion in the images Pro
Under Movement in the image, choose a slow Ken Burns movement: Zoom in, Zoom out, Pan left or Pan right. Set it for the whole slideshow or for each image.
More ways to browse Pro
Arrows can be square or minimal, and the image picker can show lines, numbers or thumbnails. Turn on Show a time bar at the top so visitors see when the next image is coming.
What it looks like
Everything without a Pro label works for free. What is marked Pro is included in the Pro version.

Frequently asked questions
How do I put a slideshow on my front page?
Open the slideshow, choose the front page under Show it on the website and select Above the page content. You do not need to edit the page itself.
How do I change the colours?
The text colour is set per slideshow. The accent colour and rounded corners for all slideshows are at the bottom of the DT-slideshow page.
Does it work without the block editor or with page builders?
Yes. Use the shortcode [datoden_slideshow id="12"], which works in page builders, or the PHP function datoden_slideshow_get() in your theme.
Can I move a slideshow to another website?
Yes. Use Copy slideshow, then Paste slideshow on the other site. The images are downloaded into that site's media library.
I have slideshows in Responsit Bildspel – what happens to them?
They are shown right away and open in the builder. Click Move to DT-slideshow to save them as DT-slideshow slideshows with the same IDs, so existing blocks and the [bildspel] shortcode keep working.
What happens when a licence runs out?
Nothing stops working. A purchase never runs out, and when a subscription ends the plugins keep every function – only the updates from Datoden stop.
What is a major version?
The first number in the version. A purchase includes every update in that major version, for example all 1.x versions. A new major version (2.0) comes about once a year with clearly new features and comes at a discount as an upgrade. A subscription always includes it.
How are websites counted?
Websites connected to your Datoden account with a Pro plugin switched on, in the order they were connected. Disconnect a website in My websites to move the licence to another.
Do I need a licence key?
No. The website is connected to your Datoden account with Website Guard, and Datoden knows which updates your licences include.
Can I go back to the free version?
Yes. Deactivate Pro – the free version keeps running with the same settings. Functions that only exist in Pro stop, but nothing is deleted.
Do I keep the free version?
Yes. Pro is an add-on: the free version stays installed and active as the base and is updated from WordPress.org as usual, and Pro adds the Pro features on top. On WordPress.org the free versions are called Datoden …, for example Datoden Slideshow.
Is VAT included?
Prices exclude VAT. VAT is calculated at checkout from your country. Companies in other EU countries can enter their VAT number.
