They are also commonly known as “Content Sliders”, “Featured Sliders”, “Post Sliders” or “Dynamic Sliders”. The Post Feed slide settings allow you to control which post types you want to display, the order to display them in and to restrict the posts to certain tags or categories. You can customize the caption template with a selection of template tags including{ title}, {excerpt}, {author} and {date}. As with all our other slide types a Post Feed slide can appear in combination with any other slide type. Post Feed slides can be used to show one post at a time but they work particularly well in carousel mode (as above) allowing you to show off a large number of your latest posts in a small amount of space. ### Animated Layer Sliders With [MetaSlider Slideshow Pro](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/) you can create animated Layer Slides for your slider, slideshow, or carousel.

This data allows search engines to ‘read’ your slides and helps with search engine rankings! ### Powerful Editing Options In addition to MetaSlider’s simple drag-and-drop features, our slider, slide show, gallery, and carousel plugin for WordPress offers many powerful features. Whether you are someone running a site who wants to make a great first impression with beautiful photos or someone making websites for clients, MetaSlider enables you to create the perfect customized experience. * **Full width slider and gallery support** MetaSlider will match your site design and is compatible with any WordPress theme that you choose to use. * **Intelligent Image Cropping**: Unique Smart Crop functionality ensures your slides are perfectly resized.

We give you ultimate flexibility to embed MetaSlider into your WordPress website using a Gutenberg block, shortcode, or widget. ### Fully Localized with Translation Support MetaSlider is compatible with some of the most popular WordPress translation plugins, including WPML, PolyLang & qTranslate. You can make sure that your slider, slideshow, carousel, or gallery are fully localized for your audiences around the world. MetaSlider localization supports any content you include in your slider. ### Slider Lightbox Support MetaSlider offers responsive image and photo lightbox support with the [MetaSlider Gallery plugin](https://wordpress.org/ml-slider-lightbox), allowing slides to be opened in a lightbox gallery window. ### Slider Plugin Integrations MetaSlider Slideshow Pro is integrated with other popular WordPress plugins, including [WooCommerce](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/metaslider-and-woocommerce/), [The Events Calendar](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/metaslider-and-the-events-calendar/), [Advanced Custom Fields](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/advanced-custom-fields-metaslider/), and [WPML](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/wpml). This enables you to seamlessly show the most engaging content to your audience in a slider, slideshow, carousel, or gallery. You can use the popular events management plugin “The Events Calendar” with MetaSlider’s new Post Feed Slides. MetaSlider detects if you have The Events Calendar plugin activated and offers you the ability to order by event date, so you can show off your upcoming events in a slider, slideshow, or carousel. WooCommerce sliders are also easy with MetaSlider. You can show the products you choose in a stylish WooCommerce slideshow. ### Carousel Sliders In addition to creating traditional sliders and slideshows, you can use MetaSlider to build carousels that allow you to show multiple images at any one time. [MetaSlider carousels](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/carousel-slideshow/) are compatible with all slide types in Free and Pro, including image, photo, video( YouTube, Vimeo, and local), layer, WooCommerce product, and Post Feed slides. They’re ideal for showing a list of your latest posts or to use as a “Featured Product” slider for your homepage. ### Support for Every Type of Content Slider MetaSlider provides unrestricted support for your image and photo slider, slide show, carousel, and gallery, including captions, links, title texts and alt text. With the [MetaSlider Slideshow Pro](https://www.metaslider.com/upgrade/) add-on you can also add video (YouTube/Vimeo), layer, product, and post feed content to a slider, slide show or carousel. You can use any combination of MetaSlider Slideshow Pro slide types for sliders, slideshows, and carousels. For example you can have a slider with an image slide, a post feed slide (that can contain multiple posts), and a video slide. To create this simply add slides as you normally would, selecting the relevant slide type each time. ### New Photo Gallery Experience MetaSlider now features a new gallery experience that supports images and photos. With an easy drag-and-drop photo gallery builder, you can create a responsive and optimized photo gallery in seconds using the same WordPress Media Gallery images you are already using with MetaSlider sliders, slide shows, and carousels. You can use a simple shortcode (just like MetaSlider) to add the MetaSlider photo gallery to any page. We are building the photo gallery following these principles: * Fast – Using modern best practices, your responsive photo gallery will be faster than ever. * SEO-focused – Search engines will love your photo gallery. * Fully WCAG accessible – All users will be able to enjoy your responsive photo gallery. You can create a photo gallery, and then add images to your gallery from the WordPress Media Library. Simply drag-and-drop images and photos into your gallery, easily reorder them, and add an image alt attribute to your images and photos to ensure that your gallery is SEO friendly. To make sure that your responsive photo gallery looks just right on your WordPress page or post, the MetaSlider gallery allows you to change the image and photo width, max width, min width, and spacing of your gallery. The MetaSlider photo gallery also offers a distraction free fullscreen mode for gallery editing, and we will soon add to the photo gallery a dark mode and background color selection. To add your responsive Meta Slider photo gallery to a page, simply click the “add to page” button in your gallery editor to generate a WordPress shortcode that you can drop onto any page or post. The MetaSlider photo gallery is in development, and we would love to hear your feedback on the gallery and ideas for photo gallery features we should work on next. ## Screenshots [⌊Image slides with MetaSlider⌉⌊Image slides with MetaSlider⌉[ Image slides with MetaSlider [⌊Carousel slides with MetaSlider⌉⌊Carousel slides with MetaSlider⌉[ Carousel slides with MetaSlider [⌊YouTube video slides with MetaSlider⌉⌊YouTube video slides with MetaSlider⌉[ YouTube video slides with MetaSlider [⌊Vimeo video slides with MetaSlider⌉⌊Vimeo video slides with MetaSlider⌉[ Vimeo video slides with MetaSlider [⌊Local video slides with MetaSlider⌉⌊Local video slides with MetaSlider⌉[ Local video slides with MetaSlider [⌊Layer slides with MetaSlider⌉⌊Layer slides with MetaSlider⌉[ Layer slides with MetaSlider ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * MetaSlider Slideshow ## Installation The easy way: 1.
