# Installed WordPress.org needs WordPress.com-style Slideshow

 * I’ve been building/running self-hosted WordPress sites for years, and never been
   able to find a slideshow plugin I really like. I’ve tried a ton of them, and 
   none provides the seemingly basic behavior I want.
 * Then today I see a WordPress site with EXACTLY what I’ve always wanted: just 
   show the pictures, in context of the content, with ability to click forward and
   backward. Turns out it’s a default/integrated feature of WordPress.com, requires
   no plugin and uses the perfect/natural shortcode, and there’s no way to replicate
   it in a self-hosted site.
 * Is this on the roadmap for self-hosted WordPress,
    either core code or as part
   of Jetpack?

 * It’s not exactly like WordPress.com’s slideshow, but this might be what you’re
   looking for:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshow/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshow/)
 * It works the same way as the .com slideshow. It’s just styled differently.

 * From the screenshot in the listing in the plugin directory it looks like that
   still does more than I want in adding text and stuff, but maybe you can turn 
   that stuff off or it’s blank if you don’t enter any text — I don’t know because
   I got a fatal error when I tried to install it.
 * Seems that it’s conflicting with something called “/shortcodes/slide.php” in 
   Jetpack!!!
 * `Fatal error: Cannot redeclare slideshow_shortcode() (previously declared in /
   home2/hollybar/public_html/willowglencharm/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/
   shortcodes/slide.php:61) in /home2/hollybar/public_html/willowglencharm/wp-content/
   plugins/slideshow/slideshow.php on line 173`
 * I wonder if that’s a hint of WordPress.com-style
    [slideshow] functionality being
   added to Jetpack soon!!!
