Overview
This is a simple parallax image plugin that uses the parallax.js script by pixelcog – http://pixelcog.github.io/parallax.js/
To insert your full width parallax image, simply use the [dd-parallax] shortcode. Include text to be overlaid on the parallax between the open and close [/dd-parallax] code. This plugin has been tested with WordPress 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 themes as well as a few themes that use Bootstrap. I can’t guarantee that it will work with all themes, but it’s worth a shot.
** Please note for WP 5.0 **
Currently this plugin works, but the TinyMCE button only works with the classic editor. A Gutenberg widget is in the works.
For example:
[dd-parallax img="imagename.jpg" height="600" speed="3" z-index="-100" mobile="mobile-image.jpg" offset="true"]

Hard to find a full image scroll shortcode that works in a <div>, and this one does. Simple shortcode, good variables, just works.
Thank you for this. Please keep it updated!
