## Description

Alfa Slider is a lightweight image slider you can add to any page, post or widget
area with a single shortcode.

Features:

 * Drag-and-drop slide manager with the native WordPress media library
 * Boxed or full-width layout
 * Slide, fade or cube transition effects
 * Bullet, fraction or progress-bar pagination
 * Optional slow zoom (Ken Burns) effect and pause-on-hover
 * Per-slide title text with custom size, color and padding
 * Per-slide call-to-action button with custom colors, padding, font size and corner
   radius
 * Nine-point content position picker for placing text and button anywhere on the
   slide
 * Optional dark overlay for better text readability
 * Fully internationalized (i18n-ready); the admin screen automatically matches 
   your site’s language
 * Automatic RTL support

#### Usage

 1. Go to **Alfa Slider** in the admin menu and add your slides.
 2. Copy the `[alfa_slider]` shortcode.
 3. Paste it into any page, post or text/shortcode widget.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/alfa-slider`, or install the plugin
    through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Alfa Slider** in the admin menu to add slides and configure settings.
 4. Place the `[alfa_slider]` shortcode on any page or post.

## FAQ

### Can each slide have its own button?

Yes. Each slide has its own optional title text and call-to-action button, each 
with independent styling.

### Does it support RTL languages?

Yes, the slider automatically switches direction based on your site’s language settings.

### Does the plugin load anything from an external CDN?

No. The Swiper library is bundled with the plugin and served from your own site.

### What languages are included, and how do I add another?

The plugin is fully translation-ready. Once published on WordPress.org, translations
are contributed and maintained through translate.wordpress.org and are downloaded
and loaded automatically by WordPress – no files to install manually and nothing
to configure.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.9

 * Removed the “Plugin Language” setting – with no bundled translation files, it
   had no visible effect until a translation is contributed via translate.wordpress.
   org, so it was just confusing to show it now.

#### 1.0.8

 * Fixed bugs

#### 1.0.7

 * Fixed bugs

#### 1.0.6

 * Slide/button link fields no longer force a strict URL format that silently blocked
   saving when a scheme like https:// wasn’t typed.
 * Forced `text-decoration: none` on the slide button’s hover/focus state so it 
   can no longer pick up an underline from theme styles.
 * Removed a `step` constraint on the autoplay speed field that could silently block
   the whole settings form from saving.
 * Text padding fields now start empty (instead of 0) so their directional placeholders(
   top/right/bottom/left) are visible until a value is entered.

#### 1.0.5

 * Fixed the full-width layout showing only half the slider on mobile (a leftover`
   left`/`right` offset was never reset at the mobile breakpoint).
 * The slide button no longer requires a link to be set before it will display; 
   it was silently disappearing if only the button text was filled in.

#### 1.0.4

 * Fixed bugs

#### 1.0.3

 * Fixed bugs

#### 1.0.2

#### 1.0.1
