Simple Slider

A fade/slide image carousel with optional captions, arrows and bullet navigation.

Simple Slider is a straightforward image carousel with optional captions, arrow navigation, and bullet navigation, a lighter alternative to a full slider plugin for a single row of images.

Shortcode

[simple_slider speed="5000" bullets="yes" arrows="yes"]
[simple_slide img="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/photo-1.jpg" title="Optional slider caption." subtitle="Optional slider subtitle."]
[simple_slide img="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/photo-2.jpg" title="Second slide." subtitle="Another subtitle."]
[/simple_slider]

Prop

Type

If you use Slider Images instead of nesting [simple_slide] shortcodes by hand, Highend builds one slide per image automatically, but pulls the caption from that image's Caption field and the subtitle from its Description field (set when editing the image in the Media Library), not from its Title. Nest [simple_slide] elements yourself if you need per-slide links or custom lightbox grouping.

If you omit speed, the slider defaults to 7000ms even though WPBakery shows the field blank.
