Description

Slider Factory helps you create attractive slideshows for your WordPress website. Whether you need an image slider for your homepage, a photo carousel for your portfolio, or a video slideshow for product demos, this plugin offers 12 ready-to-use layouts to get you started quickly.

The plugin works with a simple drag-and-drop interface. Upload your images, arrange them in your preferred order, adjust the settings, and place the shortcode on any page or post. Your slider will automatically adapt to different screen sizes, looking sharp on desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.

Each slider supports titles, descriptions, and alt text for images, which helps with accessibility and search engine optimization. You can upload multiple images at once and rearrange them easily. The admin dashboard is built with Bootstrap 5, making it intuitive to navigate and configure your sliders.

Slider Factory integrates smoothly with popular page builders including Elementor, Visual Composer, WPBakery Page Builder, and the Gutenberg block editor. It also works with WPML for multilingual websites.

How It Works

  1. Navigate to Slider Factory in your WordPress admin
  2. Click “Add New Slider” and choose a layout
  3. Upload your images using the bulk uploader
  4. Drag and drop to arrange the slide order
  5. Configure settings like autoplay, width, and height
  6. Copy the generated shortcode
  7. Paste the shortcode into any page, post, or widget

To embed a slider directly in a theme template, use:

<?php do_shortcode('[sf id=1 layout=1]') ?>

The shortcode [sf id=1 layout=1] contains the slider ID and layout number.
