That means: * Slide images stay indexable by Google Image Search. * The first slide loads eagerly with `fetchpriority="high"`; the rest load lazily. * Content is fully visible to screen readers, search engine crawlers and AI agents that don’t execute JavaScript. * Slide headings use a configurable H1, H2 or H3 tag, or styled text — never a forced H1. Choose H1 and only the first slide’s heading becomes the H1 (the rest are H2), so a page never ends up with several. * Optional Schema.org `ItemList` JSON-LD output. #### Dynamic content sources (Free) Each slide can be: * **Static** — manually written heading, text, image and button. * **A specific post or page** — title, excerpt, featured image and link are pulled live, so editing the source content keeps the slide in sync. * **Latest posts from any post type** — pick a post type (and optionally a taxonomy term), and a slide is generated automatically for each of the latest N matching posts. * **A HappyFiles folder (live)** — with the HappyFiles media-folder plugin active, point a slide at a folder and every image in it becomes a slide, live: drop a new partner logo into the folder and it appears on the logo wall, no slider editing needed. Each image fills its slide from its own Media Library fields — alt text( or title) as the name, caption as the heading, description as the text — and a new “Slider link” field on every image gives it a link. The “Add HappyFiles folder” button under Slides adds such a slide in one step: pick the folder, done. #### Design controls Box background color, font family, font size, font color and separate heading and description colours are configurable both globally (Settings page) and per slide. The corner radius and the duration of the fade / slide transition can be set per slider. Box position, autoplay speed, transition (fade/slide), a separate mobile height, an extra CSS class on the wrapper, and which controls (arrows, indicators, pause button) are shown can all be set per slider and overridden per shortcode/block instance. #### Motion & media * **Ken Burns effect** — a subtle, continuous zoom/pan on the active slide’s image. * **Video backgrounds** — add a muted, looping MP4/WebM per slide; the image is used as the poster and as the reduced-motion fallback. * **Autoplay progress indicator** — the active bar fills in sync with the autoplay timer. * All motion honours the visitor’s `prefers-reduced-motion` setting. #### Authoring * Visual wireframe layout picker in the editor. * Duplicate any slide, or duplicate a whole slider from the list. * An Overview screen with quick actions and a layout gallery. #### Shortcode ``` [qaiyo_content_slider id="123"] ``` #### Gutenberg block A “Qaiyo Content Slider” block lets you pick a saved slider from a dropdown, with a live preview in the editor. #### Multilingual Fully translation-ready (text domain `qaiyo-content-slider`), with locale variant fallback. Translations are provided through translate.wordpress.org. Compatible with Polylang, WPML, TranslatePress and Loco Translate. ### External services This plugin can optionally load a font from Google Fonts if you choose one of the“( Google Fonts)” entries in the font family dropdown (Settings, or a slider’s/slide’s font override). When you do, the browser of any visitor viewing that slider loads a stylesheet from `https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2` (Google Fonts), which means Google receives the visitor’s IP address and user agent. No font is requested if you only use the web-safe font options (Theme default, System UI, Georgia, Courier New).

Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu. 3. Create a slider under Content Sliders in the admin menu. 4. Place the shortcode `[qaiyo_content_slider id="123"]` on any page, or insert the Gutenberg block. ## FAQ ### Can I use my own CPT as a slide source? Yes — the “Latest posts from a post type” source works with any public post type, including custom post types. ### Does it require ACF or Meta Box? No. Free dynamic sources use core WordPress fields (title, excerpt, featured image, permalink) only. ### Does it work with HappyFiles? Yes — tested with HappyFiles Pro 1.9.1. With HappyFiles active, “HappyFiles folder( live)” appears as a slide source, and an “Add HappyFiles folder” button sits next to “Add several images” — pick a folder and its slide is ready. The folders are listed in the order you arranged them in HappyFiles. The folder’s images (its sub- folders included) are read when the page is rendered, so the slider always matches the folder. With HappyFiles Pro’s custom order switched on, the images can follow the order you dragged them into inside the folder. Set each image’s link in the Media Library with the “Slider link” field. If HappyFiles is deactivated, the folder slide simply shows nothing until it is back — its settings are kept. ### Which layout should I use? Overlay is the classic hero banner. Use Side by side or Stacked when the image and text should sit in separate panels. Carousel shows a centered card with the neighbouring slides peeking in at the sides. ### Can slides use a video background? Yes. On a static slide, pick a video (MP4/WebM) in the media library; it plays muted on loop over the image. Keep files small — the image is still used as the poster and as the fallback for visitors who prefer reduced motion. ### Is it accessible? Yes. The slider is a labelled carousel region with keyboard navigation, focus management,` aria-controls` on the controls and a polite live region that announces the current slide on manual navigation. All animation is disabled under `prefers-reduced-motion`. ### Will it slow down my site? No jQuery and no page-builder runtime are loaded on the front end — just one small vanilla-JS file and one stylesheet. The first slide image is eager-loaded with ` fetchpriority="high"`; the rest are lazy-loaded. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Qaiyo Content Slider” is open source software.
