UKK

Does this work with the Classic Editor?

Yes! The plugin fully supports both the modern Block Editor (Gutenberg) and the Classic Editor. You can enable/disable support for each editor independently in the settings.

Can I use this with WooCommerce product galleries?

Absolutely! Enable WooCommerce Products in Settings > Block Editor Gallery under ”Post Type Controls” to use sliders in your product galleries.

Does it work with Custom Post Types?

Yes! All registered custom post types can be enabled individually in the plugin settings. Great for portfolios, testimonials, projects, and more.

Can I have different settings for different galleries?

In the Block Editor, yes! Each gallery can have its own container width setting and can be individually enabled/disabled. In the Classic Editor, settings apply to all galleries on a page.

Will this slow down my website?

No! The plugin is highly optimized with conditional script loading. CSS and JavaScript only load on pages that actually have galleries with sliders enabled.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Yes! The slider is fully responsive and touch-friendly, providing an excellent experience on smartphones and tablets.

Can I disable the slider on specific pages?

Yes! In the Block Editor, simply set individual galleries back to the default option. In the Classic Editor, use the metabox to disable the slider for that specific page.

Is it compatible with page builders?

The plugin works best with the native WordPress Block Editor and Classic Editor. Compatibility with page builders depends on how they implement WordPress galleries.

How do I disable the lightbox?

Currently, the lightbox is an integral part of the slider functionality. You can choose between Advanced mode (with prev/next images) or Basic mode (single image only) in the settings.

Does this support multisite installations?

Yes! The plugin is fully tested and compatible with WordPress multisite networks.

Easy to use and gets the job done!

Great plugin, just what I needed for my website! Unlike many other plugins that I tried, this one integrates seamlessly with the Guntenberg editor and is very intuitive to use. So when someone writes a post, I don’t need to explain to them how to use it, it just works as you would expect it to. I spent a lot of time looking for a plugin that did just this, so I would definitely recommend it.
