Add the \"General Slider\" block to any page and pick your slider, or paste the shortcode [general_slider id=\"123\"]<\/code> (the exact shortcode is shown on each slider's edit screen).<\/p><\/dd>\nDo I need to write any code?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Everything is done from the WordPress admin.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it load jQuery?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. The front end uses the lightweight, dependency-free Splide engine.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it work with Elementor and page builders?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. There is a dedicated \"General Slider\" Elementor widget, and the shortcode works in any page builder or the classic editor.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it work with my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. It works with both block (FSE) themes and classic themes. Slide text inherits your theme's styling, and you can set an accent colour or add custom CSS per slider.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is it responsive and mobile friendly?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Sliders are fully responsive, and multi-slide carousels automatically reduce the number of slides on tablets and phones.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do I show more than one slide at a time?<\/h3><\/dt>\nOpen the slider, and in \"Slider settings\" set \"Slides per view\" to 2 or more to create a carousel (great for logos, products or testimonials).<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I use a video background?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. In a slide's \"Background video\" field, paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or a self-hosted MP4\/WebM URL. The video plays muted and looped behind the slide content.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is it accessible?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Sliders support keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, a play\/pause button for autoplay, and respect the \"reduced motion\" setting.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I move sliders between sites?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Use the JSON import \/ export tools on the General Slider > Settings screen.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can developers customise the output?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The plugin provides filters: general_slider_settings<\/code> (a slider's resolved settings), general_slider_slides<\/code> (the slides before rendering), general_slider_config<\/code> (the Splide JS options), general_slider_html<\/code> (the final markup) and general_slider_presets<\/code> (register your own design preset).<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n2.3.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Maintenance: internal code-quality and coding-standards improvements (no functional changes).<\/li>\n
- Fix: uninstall now removes only the plugin's own data instead of flushing the entire site object cache.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.3.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: developer filters \u2014 general_slider_settings, general_slider_slides, general_slider_config, general_slider_html and general_slider_presets.<\/li>\n
- Performance: sliders now initialise only when they scroll near the viewport, so below-the-fold sliders no longer run JavaScript on page load.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.2.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: background video slides \u2014 self-hosted MP4\/WebM (with the slide image as a poster), YouTube or Vimeo.<\/li>\n
- New: gradient overlay style (in addition to the solid overlay).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.1.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: Elementor widget.<\/li>\n
- New: two more presets \u2014 Testimonial and Fullscreen.<\/li>\n
- New: whole-slide clickable link (with open-in-new-tab).<\/li>\n
- New: multiple slides per view (carousel) with adjustable gap.<\/li>\n
- New: thumbnail navigation.<\/li>\n
- New: Ken Burns zoom and text entrance animations.<\/li>\n
- New: accent colour control and a play\/pause button for autoplay (accessibility).<\/li>\n
- New: slider categories, duplicate action, custom CSS per slider, and JSON import \/ export.<\/li>\n
- Performance: first slide image now loads eagerly with high fetch priority (better LCP); RTL ready.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.0.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Complete rewrite. Modern, object-oriented codebase.<\/li>\n
- New: reusable slider post type with a native slide editor (no third-party libraries).<\/li>\n
- New: Gutenberg block to embed sliders.<\/li>\n
- New: three design presets (Hero, Split, Minimal).<\/li>\n
- New: per-slider image fit, image focus, height and overlay controls.<\/li>\n
- New: one-click demo slider importer.<\/li>\n
- New: global default settings page.<\/li>\n
- Switched the front-end engine to Splide \u2014 no jQuery, accessible, lazy-loaded images.<\/li>\n
- Note: this is a ground-up rebuild and does not migrate data from the 1.x series.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"A lightweight, easy-to-use carousel slider.
