Hi i am considering to buy this plugin. This slider options look amazing, i was just wondering if its possible of scrolling through the slides with the mouse wheel or going to the next slide on click on the previous slide, without arrows.
Hi! Yes, we have options for these. The "mouse scroll" option is available in the Free version too: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1778-slider-settings-controls And in the Pro version at the Link options: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1830-link you can choose Actions -> Next slide (or Previous slide, Go to slide), to make the clicking action switch to a given slide. You can use the Link of the slides: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1724-slide -> smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1724-slide#content to select this action.
Hi @FransaligelinBlogspot Yes, the "Custom Size" setting that you can find at the bottom of the Size tab: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1774-slider-settings-size#custom-size is a feature that is available in the Pro version.
The most common reason why the slider height stays is that there's at least one slide which needs more space than the height you want to have. For example, you won't be able to make your slider 400px high if you have a slide where you added a 500px tall image layer. That slide needs 500px height and will make the whole slider have 500px height. Check out the most common reasons of the height issues: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1916-slide-editing-in-smart-slider-3#why-is-the-slider-so-tall-on-mobile and try to address them if you see any on your slides. If all slides should fit into the new height you want but the slider is still a lot taller, open a support ticket: smartslider3.com/contact-us/support/ and send us your slider.
Hi, When you are trying to save on your slider (or slide) and you cannot, but just an Unexpected response error message appear, that means there is an issue with the server. They have some limitation or misconfiguration, which doesn't allow your settings to be saved. You should get in touch with your server host and ask them to help you resolve this problem. Most commonly a ModSecurity setting causes the problem, but they should have a log about what is happening for what reason on your website, which could point out what limitation causes the issue. This error can only be fixed by your server host, so they should be able to help.
Hi Pradipkumar! You can find a documentation here, which will suggest you a good image size for your slider: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1922-how-to-set-your-background-image#image-size If you have an issue with the background on mobile phones, the best setting we have is the Focus point: th-cam.com/video/EuJXgjGltAY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NEXTEND to select a point from your image, which should always stay on screen. But if you have a different issue, I suggest checking out the video about responsiveness: th-cam.com/video/GUMeRd4W_bM/w-d-xo.html which will show you all our options.
Hi! These kinds of problems can usually happen when: -something went wrong during the installation and some of our files may missing from your site -or there is a permission problem -or your system doesn't meet our minimum system requirements. In our documentation you can find suggestions for all of these cases: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1944-smart-slider-3s-menu-is-missing could you check it please?

Hi Lazar the layers are displays in the same order as they appear in the Layer List: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1815-layer-list and that can't be changed device specifically. The only exception is the column order, which can be changed device specifically: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1811-row#changing-column-order Are you trying to create a completely different layout for different devices? If you have the Pro version, you could create device specific slides: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1724-slide#content
Hi, gaps are generally made by the theme or page builder which puts margins/paddings on the slider's container. So you should look around there first. If you can't find the page builder/theme option that creates the gap open a support ticket: smartslider3.com/contact-us/support/ and send a link to the page where we can see the problem.
I want to build a full page that outlines a complete five page website, I see this is done with a downward page load. Is this possible in the free version? If so, what sized slides are needed for the process? What would be the main size settings for the background? it would seem a height of about 5000 would be needed for a five page slide. Perhaps this is an illusion and only 1080 height overall is needed?
Hi Bob, You could create a complete page by publishing different sliders under each other, so you don't need to build it in one slider. So in this way, one slider should be as tall, as you would like to set for one section. In the Pro version, you're able to use full-page slider layout, where the slider fills the whole screen size. If you would have other questions, I suggest you, open a ticket directly here: smartslider3.com/contact-us/support
I'm confused about the abilities of Smart Slider's free version. Is it impossible to make a full page slider in the free version? I see a 1080 height advisement on full page. I also saw that four layers are limited per block instance. Using blocks in WP, would you place each slider inside one block and set to full size?
@@BobTraweek I'm sorry, but Fullpage layout is only available in the Pro version. And yes, in the Free version only 4 layers are available (plus the "Row"): smartslider3.com/layers/ If you would like to publish multiple sliders, then you should insert multiple blocks to select those sliders: th-cam.com/video/0_ohk997NG8/w-d-xo.html The size of sliders are based on our settings: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/2033-what-affects-the-sliders-size like the layout: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/2033-what-affects-the-sliders-size#layout could create fullwidth (or in the Pro version fullpage) sliders.

Hi Mario! We put some settings into different places. The biggest changes are, that you won't find a "slider type" part anymore, but the slider type related settings are distributed into different tabs, like the animations will be under the "Animations" tab. Another change is, that the "Controls" aren't in a separate section anymore, but they will have their own tab. You will also find controls on tabs they are connected to, for example the "Autoplay" tab holds the autoplay button and autoplay indicator.
HI Mustafa! It depends on, how your theme displays your built-in slider. If it is displayed by a widget position, then you could replace that with our widget smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1720-publishing-on-wordpress#widget If it's hardcoded into your theme, you should find the code parts where the slider needs to be added in the theme's files smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1935-troubleshooting-with-your-browser#findcode and you should use the PHP publishing method to publish our slider instead of the built-in slider. If you need to modify your theme, we recommend using a child theme and creating a backup, so if you create an error in your code, you can reverse the changes.

Hi, you can delete the layer e.g. from the Layer list, using the Layer menu: smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1815-layer-list#layer-menu We're storing one version of the slider, so from our end every change you make is immediate.
