 * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/implement-multiple-slider-instances-through-wordpress-plugin/)
 * i have customised the smooth div scroll jquery plugin ([http://smoothdivscroll.com/](http://smoothdivscroll.com/))
   and implemented it in wordpress as a wordpress plugin along with an options page
   you can view the slider here [http://dev.linuxfreakz.com/?page_id=2](http://dev.linuxfreakz.com/?page_id=2),
   i have created an options page in wordpress admin which has 4 options to select
   the slider title , background and arrows color and category of posts . the slides
   are wordpress posts and the images inside them are their featured images . the
   slider can be currently used with a shortcode , this is all fine and working .
 * the problem is that now i am supposed to add multiple sliders that can have different
   options selected and can be used on a single page through the options page and
   i am confused as how to get this done . can some wordpress guru please point 
   me in the right direction i am really running out of time here , i don’t need
   the whole code just an idea as how i could actually get this done and i am pretty
   good at php and wordpress myself usually .
 * any help would be appreciated , thank you .
 * here is the code that pulls the posts and generates the slider that i am currently
   using
 *     ```
       function sds_display_slider() {
         global $post;
   
             $sds_category2 = (get_option('sds_category') != false) ? get_option('sds_category') : 1;
   
             $sds_title2 = (get_option('sds_title') != '') ? get_option('sds_title') : 'Smooth Slider';
   
             $sds_bgcolor2 = (get_option('sds_bgcolor') != '') ? get_option('sds_bgcolor') : '#dedede';
   
             $sds_navcolor2  = (get_option('sds_navcolor') != '') ? get_option('sds_navcolor') : '#9e1b32' ;   
   
             $plugins_url = plugins_url();
   
             echo '<div id="carousel" style="background-color:'.$sds_bgcolor2.'!important;">
           <style>
               div.scrollingHotSpotLeft {background-color:'.$sds_navcolor2.';}
               div.scrollingHotSpotRight{background-color:'.$sds_navcolor2.';}
           </style>
           <h2>'.$sds_title2.'</h2>
           <div id="makeMeScrollable">';
   
                     query_posts('post_type=post&posts_per_page=-1&cat='.$sds_category2.'&order=ASC');
               if ( have_posts() ) :while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   
                $img_attached_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'medium');
               $img_attached = $img_attached_url[0];
               $post_heading = get_the_title($post->ID);
               $post_text = substr(get_the_excerpt(),0,180)."...";
               $link = get_permalink($post->ID);
   
               echo '<div class="contentBox">
                   <a href="'.$link.'">
                   <img src="'.$img_attached.'"></a><br>
                   <a href="'.$link.'"><h2>'.$post_heading.'</h2></a>
                   <p>'.$post_text.'</p>
               </div>'; 
   
               endwhile;
   
              endif;wp_reset_query();
   
           echo '</div>
         </div>';
       }
       ```
