Display them anywhere via the `[simplewpslider id="ID"]` shortcode or the bundled Gutenberg block. Powered by Swiper.js 11 — accessible, touch-friendly, no jQuery. **Slide types** * Image slides (uses your Media Library, full srcset + lazy-load) * Self-hosted video slides (MP4) * YouTube and Vimeo slides (privacy-friendly click-to-load facade) **Per-slider settings** * Autoplay, speed, loop, transition (slide / fade) * Arrows, dots, keyboard navigation * Slides-per-view + responsive breakpoints * Aspect ratio enforcement (16:9 / 4:3 / 1:1 / auto) to prevent layout shift * Respect prefers-reduced-motion **Accessibility** * WAI-ARIA carousel pattern * Drag-reorder via keyboard in the admin * Full screen-reader live-region announcements via Swiper’s a11y module ### Privacy The plugin makes no outbound requests at runtime. YouTube embeds use `youtube-nocookie. com` and only load after user interaction. Vimeo thumbnails are fetched via Vimeo’s public oEmbed endpoint only when an editor adds a Vimeo slide in the admin — never on frontend page loads. ## Screenshots * [[ * Sliders list under the Sliders menu. * [[ * Edit screen: slide manager with drag-reorder and per-slide editor. * [[ * Slider settings panel: autoplay, dots, arrows, effect, etc. * [[ * Block-editor preview via the Simple WP Slider block. * [[ * Frontend example. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Simple WP Slider Embed a slider created with Simple WP Slider. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin via Plugins Add New Upload, or install from the WordPress.org plugin directory. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to Sliders Add New, create a slider, add slides. 4. Insert the slider via the “Simple WP Slider” block or with `[simplewpslider id=" 123"]`. ## FAQ ### I upgraded from 1.x. Where did my images go? They were automatically imported into a new slider called “Default Slider” under the Sliders menu. The old `[simplewpslider]` shortcode (with no id) still renders that slider, so existing pages keep working. ### Does this plugin send data anywhere? No. Nothing leaves your site. YouTube and Vimeo embeds load only after a visitor clicks the play button, and YouTube uses the `youtube-nocookie.com` domain. ### Can I display the same slider in multiple places? Yes. Use the same id with the shortcode or block on any page or template. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Simple WP Slider” is open source software.
