Responsive Slider Pro
Responsive Slider Pro is a WordPress slideshow tool for presenting linked images and titles in a chosen location on your website. Each slide can point to any URL, allowing the slider to support homepage promotions, featured content, service highlights, product links, or other visual navigation. Slides can be arranged in the order you choose and displayed as a jQuery-powered slideshow.
The slider is designed to adjust to the width of its container. This makes it suitable for responsive WordPress themes without requiring additional CSS or JavaScript changes in the theme for its basic responsive behavior. It can also be used with a non-responsive theme, although the slider’s behavior depends on the width of the container supplied by that theme.
What the Pro edition provides
Responsive Slider Pro is the paid edition associated with the plugin’s Pro version. The supplied product information connects the paid offering with support and themes, including access to a collection of WordPress themes and customer support. The available information does not describe additional slider controls beyond the core slide creation and display workflow.
Practical ways to use it
- Link banner images to pages, articles, landing pages, or any other URL.
- Present several featured items in a rotating slideshow.
- Display slide titles alongside linked images.
- Place the slider within a theme template, a page, or a post.
- Use the shortcode when placing the slider directly in post or page content.
Placement and styling
You can place the slider wherever it is needed in a theme template. For post and page content, use [responsive_slider] in the editor as a shortcode. The plugin also provides CSS that can be overridden in your theme when you need to adjust the appearance. A common workflow is to identify the relevant slider styles and copy adjusted rules into the theme’s CSS file.
Slides are managed from the WordPress administration area. After the plugin is active, the Slides item appears in the admin menu under Pages. Use Slides > Settings to configure the available slider options, then use Slides > Add New Slide to create and organize slide content.
Installation
- Upload the responsive-slider plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
- Activate the plugin through the WordPress Plugins menu.
- Open Slides > Settings and configure the slider options.
- Create slides under Slides > Add New Slide.
- Insert the slider in a template or add [responsive_slider] to a post or page.
The plugin is intended for self-hosted WordPress installations rather than WordPress.com. For additional usage information, consult the plugin documentation in docs/readme.html.
