 * Hi, I wanted ot know if it was possible to add custom codes (css, js or whatever)
   like on this website: [http://wowslider.com/javascript-slider-ionosphere-stack-demo.html](http://wowslider.com/javascript-slider-ionosphere-stack-demo.html)
 * I like this effect a lot, and I’m not afraid to put my hands in some codes. It’s
   just that I don’t know where to start. What you do to get something like that?
   
   Thanks

 * Hi, you can add captions to the slides using a [custom slideshow template](http://jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/customizing-the-slideshow-template/),
   to animate them you would have to use some custom jQuery.

 * Hi, thanks for your reply. I’m trying to follow the instructions from this thread:
   [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-add-featured-image-caption-to-each-slide?replies=8](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-add-featured-image-caption-to-each-slide?replies=8)
 * I copied the css code into the style.css file from my child theme, I copied the_post_thumbnail_caption();
   function exatcly as typed in the post (without any addition) into my functions.
   php in my child theme but nothing happens. It seems like the function is not 
   triggered like a add_filter() or add_action() is missing.
 * Do you know what I’m missing here to add the caption?

 * If you can, i would use the slide post title as the slide caption, it is easier
   to setup and easier to manage. I have a [captions slideshow skin](http://jleuze.com/plugins/meteor-slides/skins/captions/)
   that you drop into your theme to enable these type of captions.

 * Thanks, I have my titles/captions displayed with CSS (very easy to do), I’m really
   interested in the text animation (title and caption), like making the title going
   from right to left and stop. I’m not using the function described in this thread:
   [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-add-featured-image-caption-to-each-slide?replies=8](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-add-featured-image-caption-to-each-slide?replies=8)
 * so I guess I can’t use the code you mentioned in the link above:
 *     ```
       before: function () {
       ...
       }
       ```
   
 * because I have no “function”, unfortunately it seems the solution of my problem
   lies there. What kind of js code would I need here?
 * I set up a testing website so you can see what I’m talking about: [http://mywptestsite.is-great.org/lalala/](http://mywptestsite.is-great.org/lalala/)
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hey sorry for the delay, you can totally use that code as a starting place to
   animate the captions, the first post in that thread is about adding captions,
   the second one is a different thing about the animated captions:
    [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-add-featured-image-caption-to-each-slide?replies=8#post-3890768](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-meteor-slides-add-featured-image-caption-to-each-slide?replies=8#post-3890768)
 * You’ll need to change those position values, but it’ll get you started. I have
   animated the captions on a few project, so if you need something different I 
   might have a better starting point.
