FAQ

1. How do I add the slider to my site?

You can add your slider by shortcode or via the widget control panel or PHP shortcode. Watch the 🎥 Publishing tutorial video to learn more about the topic.

2. Where can I reach the documentation?

https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/

3. Où est le mode Canvas ?

Le mode Canvas a été renommé Absolute.. Vous pouvez ajouter des calques positionnés en absolue avec le bouton de bascule du panneau Ajouter et du commutateur a Calque par défaut sur Absolu dans la fenêtre de calque > Style > Position.

Mais nous vous recommandons de travailler avec Calques positionnés par défaut car le comportement réactif est mieux, et la création de diapositives est beaucoup plus rapide. La plupart des mises en page que les gens veulent créer peuvent être réalisées avec des calques positionnés par défaut uniquement. Les couches positionnées absolues ne doivent être utilisées que pour la décoration.

Vous voulez en savoir plus sur les calques positionnés en absolu ? 🎥 Regardez la vidéo du didacticiel !

4. Pourquoi y a-t-il un espace vide à l’endroit où devrait se trouver le diaporama ?

It means that there is a JavaScript error on your site which blocks other scripts(for example Smart Slider’s scripts). You can open up the browser debugger window with F12 button and check the console if it shows error or not. If you solve these errors Smart Slider should work fine.

Usual problem is that you have the latest WordPress version, but your theme loads very old jQuery version (1.7 or older) and the WordPress admin bar throws a JavaScript error. In this case, you have to remove the old jQuery from your theme’s functions.php.

If you are unable to solve these problems, feel free to contact us!

5. What should I do when I experience any problem?

Contact us!

6. Is Smart Slider 3 is totally responsive?

Smart Slider 3 is 100% responsive with each items, so it will fit perfectly into your page, regardless of the size of your desktop screen or device.

N’oubliez pas de consulter la vidéo du didacticiel sur les 🎥 Réglages responsives.

7. Can I customize the fonts of the slider?

Oui, vous pouvez tout personnaliser pour chaque état. (Survolez, normal) Le diaporama est fourni avec la prise en charge de Google Web Font, vous permettant de choisir parmi plus d’une douzaine de familles de polices. Vous pouvez également utiliser votre propre police en écrivant simplement son nom dans le champ de la famille de polices. Regardez notre tutoriel vidéo pour apprendre à utiliser des polices personnalisées.

8. Can I show multiple instances of slider on one page?

Oui, vous pouvez disposer autant de diaporamas sur une page que vous le souhaitez. Mais vous ne pouvez utiliser qu’un seul diaporama à la fois.

9. How to include a slider in a post or a page?

[smartslider3 slider=Here comes the slider id]

10. How to include a slider into header.php or other PHP files?

<?php echo do_shortcode('[smartslider3 slider=Here comes the slider id]'); ?>

11. Does Smart Slider support sites with SSL?

Of course! Smart Slider use protocol relative urls which works fine on http:// and on https:// too.

Avis

19 novembre 2024
I was using Slider Revolution then tried another number of the top downloaded ones on WordPress. This one is incredible. It is quick, easy, has every option you could imagine, is nearly bug free. This is exactly what software is supposed to be.
29 octobre 2024
I optimized every image and tried the same images with other sliders. No Slider slowed down my page that much.Pagespeed Performance without SS3 ist 99% and with SS3 is around 68 – 73%.I read the documentation, activated lazy load and optimized, what was possible.
24 octobre 2024
It has an option to change where the images pull. I was able to swap from the testing domain to new domain and used a setting in the free version. I simply added the new path and it updated across the plugin. Great work and thanks for making my life easier!
24 octobre 2024
Picking through WordPress plugins is generally a dreadful experience of installing and uninstalling half-baked and strangely designed candidates, but this plugin came up first on my search and has been a pleasure to work with from the start.I did find it difficult to locate the option to automatically generate slides based on WordPress posts, but a quick tutorial video by the plugin authors thoroughly explaiend how to accomplish that task, even showing how to use an existing, static slide as a template for dynamic, post-based slides.Also, the plugin performs well. The Gutenberg/Block editor team have a lesson or two to learn here regarding how to develop a visual HTML editor that doesn’t slow down the page, freeze, or crash. Throughout weeks of toiling work in setting up a WooCommerce shop that looks and behaves as intended, this plugin has always been a constant, looking good and behaving predictably. I can strongly recommend Smart Slider. Well done.
