This plugin builds on the builtin WordPress gallery, and replaces any gallery inserted using the gallery tag with a neat jQuery powered carousel. By carousel it means you can browse through all the pictures in the gallery and they’ll slide from the right to the left and seamlessly start over at the end.
The plugin uses jQuery and a jQuery plugin called jCarousel.

Further Development
Due to my busy schedule, development on this plugin is intermittant and not quite as often as it deserves. Fortunately, the plugin is open source. Are you an experienced plugin developer willing to lend some love, then you’re welcome to get co-ownership of this plugin. Let me know.
[Update]: Added an IE “loop bug” fix. Thanks to Luqman Amjad.
I wish to add this gallery on my site.. pls give tutorial
Thank you so much Joen.
No question, no demand. Just wanted to say that you rock !
The plugin is just what I was looking for…. Just one question: How do I remove the wordpress “featured image” from the carousel?
So, I’ve read every comment here. I’ve triend uninstalling and reinstalling. I’ve tried everything…When I add the [gallery] tag to my Pictures page, nothing happens. It just shows the images as they would normally. I do not see a carousel. I’d really like to get this working, because everyone else seems to like it!
Please help

Hey Joen,
I was wondering if it would be possible to have a video for a slide.
Instead of calling the url of the image, you call an iframe from vimeo.com for exemple. Is this feasible you think?
Very good gallery. I used this one on http://www.unitedcodings.com/
Thank you very mach.
Hi,
Here you can find a Carousel Gallery, with install instructions for WordPress: http://www.flashxml.net/3d-carousel-menu.html#swmi-wordpress .I am using it on my website and I am very pleased with it.
Great plugin- I had a troubleshooting question. I had the galleries working great on a development site and when I took that site live, the gallery thumbnails show up but the main image is missing. Have you ever seen that before?
I tried deleting and re installing the plugin with the same result. Is there a DB table I need to delete before re installing the plugin?
The site is http://www.hensteinscustomcabinets.com/
Thanks for any help
For anyone that is interested- the plugin works great in all browsers except ie8. The thumbnails appear “smushed” so I used this CSS to fix it. (you have to have the browser specific css jquery plugin installed to do this)
.ie .carousel-controls a{
float:none;
}
There was a conflicting plugin so this was not an issue. Thanks for the great plugin.
If someone has a problem with the plugin, one problem i found is that the code:
\” + item.title + \”
was giving an error when somehow the character ‘#’ was being replaced by the full site URL, so i changed this to:
\” + item.title + \”
If you get an php “Headers already sent” error, try to delete the line breakers at the end of the file, after the last “?>” so the “>” is the last character in the file, if this don’t work, try to reduce the number of line breaks, since unneeded white spaces, mostly outside php tags are the main source of this error.
Just a quick tip: to get rid of the featured image replace the following code.
Before:
$attachments = get_children( array(‘post_parent’ => $id, ‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘order’ => $order, ‘orderby’ => $orderby );
After:
$attachments = get_children( array(‘post_parent’ => $id, ‘post_status’ => ‘inherit’, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘order’ => $order, ‘orderby’ => $orderby, ‘exclude’ => get_post_thumbnail_id()) );
