Turn your WordPress Block Editor galleries into customizable sliders; Classic Editor support included.
DESCRIPTION
Turn your WordPress Block Editor galleries into customizable sliders; Classic Editor support included.
Block Editor Gallery Slider will help you convert your WordPress built-in galleries into fancy sliders. All images will open a modal window to display a larger image preview.
Classic Editor, WooCommerce, and Custom Post Type support included.
Tested with WordPress 5.9, but WP 5.8 and below Support is also included.
USAGE
Once you install and activate the plugin, you can go to any post or page and create a new gallery.
Then depending if you are using the Block or Classic Editor, you will see an additional meta box or panel, with the title Gallery Slider Options on the sidebar.
There is one significant difference for the Classic and Block editor users.
For Classic Editor, once you enable the plugin, the sliders will be applied to ALL the galleries on the current page or post.
While if you are using the Block Editor, you can select sliders functionality for each gallery individually.
There are two steps involved. While on with Block Editor, you only need to select the Container wrap size to be active in the gallery slider.
To remove the slider functionality, you need to select the default option from the select dropdown.
Note: The gallery slider container width is relative to the parent container, and it will always fit the parent if its size is less than the selected one.
