    I really like this little plugin. A couple of additional features would make it even better for me:

    1) I have a custom post type called events with 2 categories: upcoming events and past events. I am unable to have the carousel automatically include upcoming events because there is no category option for post types. So adding that feature would be very useful.

    2) So I have to place posts in my carousel manually. But then I can’t sort manually added if I want to display by date. It would be nice if I could drag and drop to change the order.

    Thank you! 🙂

    Hi, you can already display posts related to categories, Just select By Taxonomy and then choose Terms.

    You can sort them by date using orderby attribute in the shortcode. orderby=”date”

    Hello Rameez!

    Setting to “by taxonomy” seemed like the obvious way to do it but it did not work for me. I was able to select the proper category but the carousel displayed a message along the lines of “no content found”. I assumed it was because it was a custom post type.

    Implementing by date does not really work for me either because in the case of event announcements, events are not necessarily posted in the order that they happen. We get notification further ahead for some than others. In places where I have them displayed as a column of posts or in lists, I use a custom field for display order.

    Update: I’ve been manually adding and deleting posts in my carousel since I installed it. It’s a nuisance but it works. But it would be super cool if I could place custom post types limited by category.

    Thanks for the nice plugin Rameez!
