The carousel shortcode is a quick and easy way to add a post type carousel to any page or post. To insert a carousel, use the photo icon in the text editor:
By clicking on the icon the following default shortcode should be inserted into your page or post:
[symple_carousel post_type="portfolio" taxonomy_name="" taxonomy_id="" count="-1" lightbox_only="false" title="false" excerpt="false" excerpt_length="15" read_more="false" img_width="220" img_height="170" margin="20" min_slides="3" max_slides="4" pager="true" controls="true"]
Now you can customize your carousel to your liking. All you have to do is edit the various parameters to create the carousel you want.
