A video slide will display a video in your slide show directly from Vimeo or YouTube. The video will automatically pause if the user skips to the next slide. Simply add the URL of your video to a YouTube slide, Vimeo slide or TikTok slide and MetaSlider will add it to your slider, slideshow, or carousel. Either create a slide show full of your favorite videos or mix it in between slides of other types to get just the result that you want. Local and External Video Sliders External and Local Video Slides are included in MetaSlider Slideshow Pro. With Local Video Slides you can build beautiful slideshows with videos in your WordPress media library. With External Video Slides you can created slideshows with videos hosted outside of your WordPress site. Both External Video slides and Local Videos slides will display your MP4, WebM, and MOV videos with cover images, auto play, mute, lazy load, the ability to hide controls, and much more. It is possible to add video captions to both External and Internal Video slides created with MetaSlider Slideshow Pro. This feature uses VTT files to add captions. There is a “CC” button in the toolbar that viewers can use to control the captions. Post Feed Sliders With MetaSlider Slideshow Pro you can create 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 customize 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 Slideshow Pro 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.

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 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 Slideshow Pro 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 Slideshow 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.
