 * Hello,
 * I’ve added a slideshow to a page in wordpress, I’ve loaded the style and the 
   script with wp_enqueue and they are loaded correctly but the slider script is
   not executed, I read that “$” has to be replaced by “jQuery” but I don’t know
   where to make the changes. Can you help me?
 * This is the direction of the script –> [http://tympanus.net/Development/ParallaxContentSlider/js/jquery.cslider.js](http://tympanus.net/Development/ParallaxContentSlider/js/jquery.cslider.js)

 * Hi jos3m!
 * How are you adding the slideshow? Is it from a theme or a plugin?
 * Generally when you use `wp_enqueue_script`, the second parameter is the location
   of the file. So if I load a script from my theme it would look something like:
 *     ```
       wp_enqueue_script( 'my-neat-js-file', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/da-big-show.js', array( 'jquery' ) );
       ```
   
 * That file would reside in my theme’s `js` folder and that’s the file I would 
   need to alter to get things to work. 🙂
 * Hope that helps you out!

 * Hello Jose Castaneda,
 * This is the full code of the slideshow, which include the reference to the stylesheet
   and script, the html and the call to the function at the end:
 *     ```
       <?php
       				wp_enqueue_style('slideshow', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/slideshow.css', false, '1.1', 'all');
       				wp_enqueue_script('jquery.cslider', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.cslider.js', array ('jquery'), 1.1, true);
       			?>
   
       			<div id="da-slider" class="da-slider">
   
       				<div class="da-slide">
