There is a “CC” button in the toolbar that viewers can use to control the captions. ### Post Feed Sliders With [MetaSlider Pro](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/) you can create [Post Feed slides](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/post-feed-slides/) to automatically show your latest content, blog posts, events or WooCommerce products in your slider, slide show, or carousel. MetaSlider Post Feed slides dynamically pull in slides based on your WordPress posts, using the featured image as the slide. They are also commonly known as “Content Sliders”, “Featured Sliders”, “Post Sliders” or “Dynamic Sliders”. The Post Feed slide settings allow you to control which post types you want to display, the order to display them in and to restrict the posts to certain tags or categories. You can customise the caption template with a selection of template tags including{ title}, {excerpt}, {author} and {date}. As with all our other slide types a Post Feed slide can appear in combination with any other slide type. Post Feed slides can be used to show one post at a time but they work particularly well in carousel mode (as above) allowing you to show off a large number of your latest posts in a small amount of space. ### Animated Layer Sliders With [MetaSlider Pro](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/) you can create animated Layer Slides for your slider, slideshow, or carousel. You can use the built in drag- and-drop editor to create CSS3 animated HTML Layer slides.

Layers can include text, html, images, photos, videos and even shortcodes! Layer Slide users also benefit from additional optimization and customization options, including using a video as the slide background and adjusting the padding and background color of each layer. ### External Image Sliders With [MetaSlider Pro](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/) you can create [External URL slides](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/external-url-slides) to load images for your slider, slideshow, or carousel directly from non-WordPress sources, for example CDN’s or image hosts. ### More Great MetaSlider Features **Optimized for Speed** [MetaSlider is fast](https://www.metaslider.com/fastest-wordpress-slideshow-plugin/). Only the minimum JavaScript/CSS is included on your page to power your slider, slideshow, carousel, or gallery. We have optimized the Free and Pro MetaSlider plugins so that your images, photos, videos (YouTube and Vimeo), layers, products, and post feeds, load quickly without slowing down your website visitors’ experience. **Unsplash Integration** [MetaSlider is integrated with Unsplash](https://www.metaslider.com/unsplash) to access free images and photos via Unsplash.com for your slider, slideshow, carousel, and gallery.

The title text should provide additional information about the slide, whereas the alt text should be used to describe the image itself. This data allows search engines to ‘read’ your slides and helps with search engine rankings! ### Powerful Editing Options In addition to MetaSlider’s simple drag-and-drop features, our slider, slide show, gallery, and carousel plugin for WordPress offers many powerful features. Whether you are someone running a site who wants to make a great first impression with beautiful photos or someone making websites for clients, MetaSlider enables you to create the perfect customized experience. * **Full width slider and gallery support** MetaSlider will match your site design and is compatible with any WordPress theme that you choose to use. * **Intelligent Image Cropping**: Unique Smart Crop functionality ensures your slides are perfectly resized. No fuss. * **Smart Pad**: With cropping disabled, Smart Pad automatically adds padding to portrait images allowing you to mix portrait and landscape images and maintain a consistent slideshow height. * **Drag-and-Drop editor**: Includes drag-and-drop slide reordering, intelligent image cropping, set image crop position. * **Slider configuration**: Customize the transition effect, speed, timing, plus many more! * **Live Theme Editor**: With [MetaSlider Pro](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/) you can create unlimited themes and preview them on-the-fly. * **Thumbnail Navigation (Pro)**: [MetaSlider Pro](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/) adds in 2 new types of slider and slideshow navigation: - “Thumbnail” will output a static row of thumbnails below the slideshow. - “Filmstrip” will output a carousel style row of thumbnails below the slideshow( with left and right navigation) – perfect if you have lots of slides! ### Slider Themes [MetaSlider Pro](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/) introduces the MetaSlider Theme Editor.

We give you ultimate flexibility to embed MetaSlider into your WordPress website using a Gutenberg block, shortcode, or widget. ### Fully Localized with Translation Support MetaSlider is compatible with some of the most popular WordPress translation plugins, including WPML, PolyLang & qTranslate. You can make sure that your slider, slideshow, carousel, or gallery are fully localized for your audiences around the world. MetaSlider localization supports any content you include in your slider. ### Slider Lightbox Support MetaSlider offers responsive image and photo lightbox support with the [MetaSlider Lightbox add-on](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/), allowing slides to be opened in a lightbox, using one of several supported lightbox plugins, including Easy FancyBox, Simple Lightbox, and FooBox Image Lightbox. ### Slider Plugin Integrations MetaSlider Pro is integrated with other popular WordPress plugins, including [WooCommerce](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/metaslider-and-woocommerce/), [The Events Calendar](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/metaslider-and-the-events-calendar/), [Advanced Custom Fields](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/advanced-custom-fields-metaslider/), and [WPML](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/wpml). This enables you to seamlessly show the most engaging content to your audience in a slider, slideshow, carousel, or gallery. You can use the popular events management plugin “The Events Calendar” with MetaSlider’s new Post Feed Slides. MetaSlider detects if you have The Events Calendar plugin activated and offers you the ability to order by event date, so you can show off your upcoming events in a slider, slideshow, or carousel. WooCommerce sliders are also easy with MetaSlider. You can show the products you choose in a stylish WooCommerce slideshow. ### Carousel Sliders In addition to creating traditional sliders and slideshows, you can use MetaSlider to build carousels that allow you to show multiple images at any one time. [MetaSlider carousels](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/carousel-slideshow/) are compatible with all slide types in Free and Pro, including image, photo, video( YouTube, Vimeo, and local), layer, WooCommerce product, and Post Feed slides. They’re ideal for showing a list of your latest posts or to use as a “Featured Product” slider for your homepage. ### Support for Every Type of Content Slider MetaSlider provides unrestricted support for your image and photo slider, slide show, carousel, and gallery, including captions, links, title texts and alt text. With the [MetaSlider Pro](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/) add-on you can also add video (YouTube/Vimeo), layer, product, and post feed content to a slider, slide show or carousel. You can use any combination of MetaSlider Pro slide types for sliders, slideshows, and carousels. For example you can have a slider with an image slide, a post feed slide (that can contain multiple posts), and a video slide. To create this simply add slides as you normally would, selecting the relevant slide type each time. ### New Photo Gallery Experience MetaSlider now features a new gallery experience that supports images and photos. With an easy drag-and-drop photo gallery builder, you can create a responsive and optimized photo gallery in seconds using the same WordPress Media Gallery images you are already using with MetaSlider sliders, slide shows, and carousels. You can use a simple shortcode (just like MetaSlider) to add the MetaSlider photo gallery to any page. We are building the photo gallery following these principles: * Fast – Using modern best practices, your responsive photo gallery will be faster than ever. * SEO-focused – Search engines will love your photo gallery. * Fully WCAG accessible – All users will be able to enjoy your responsive photo gallery. You can create a photo gallery, and then add images to your gallery from the WordPress Media Library. Simply drag-and-drop images and photos into your gallery, easily reorder them, and add an image alt attribute to your images and photos to ensure that your gallery is SEO friendly. To make sure that your responsive photo gallery looks just right on your WordPress page or post, the MetaSlider gallery allows you to change the image and photo width, max width, min width, and spacing of your gallery. The MetaSlider photo gallery also offers a distraction free fullscreen mode for gallery editing, and we will soon add to the photo gallery a dark mode and background color selection. To add your responsive Meta Slider photo gallery to a page, simply click the “add to page” button in your gallery editor to generate a WordPress shortcode that you can drop onto any page or post. The MetaSlider photo gallery is in development, and we would love to hear your feedback on the gallery and ideas for photo gallery features we should work on next. ### Privacy Policy MetaSlider uses the Appsero SDK to collect non-sensitive diagnostic data upon a user’s confirmation.

I appreciate it and have increased my rating accordingly. Original review: The free version of this plugin is tagged so it comes up 1st when searching “Video slider”. The official title is “Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider – Image Slider, Video Slider” – turns out you can only create a Video Slider – which is literally THE TITLE of this supposedly free plugin – in the Pro Version.
