Upload images from your Media Library, arrange them in your preferred order, and save. Copy the generated shortcode and paste it where you want the slider to appear. ### Can I add links to individual slides? Yes, each slide has a link field where you can enter any URL. When visitors click on that slide, they will be taken to the linked page. ### Is the slider mobile-friendly? Absolutely. The slider is fully responsive and includes touch/swipe support. It automatically adjusts to fit any screen size and works smoothly on phones and tablets. ### How many images can I add to a slider? There is no fixed limit. You can add as many images as you need, though keeping it reasonable (under 20-30) helps with page load times. ### Can I use the slider in my sidebar or footer? Yes, you can paste the slider shortcode into any text widget. The slider will resize to fit the widget area automatically. ### Does it support touch and swipe gestures? Yes, touch and swipe navigation is built in. Mobile users can swipe left or right to browse through slides naturally. ### How do I change the slider speed? In the slider settings, you will find options to control auto-play speed and transition duration. Adjust these values to match your preference. ### Can I add captions to my slides? Yes, each slide supports a title and description field. The text appears as an overlay on the slide, and you can style it using the available options. ### How do I show multiple slides at once like a carousel? The carousel mode with multiple visible slides is available in the Pro version. It lets you display 2, 3, or more slides simultaneously. ### The slider is not showing on my page. What should I check? Make sure you have published the slider (not just saved as draft) and that you are using the correct shortcode with the right ID. Also check if your theme has any JavaScript conflicts. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/63151b6dd5873715d1074dd4570f8bcdfa4e24720cfd29ce6d09de83a234c154? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-support-859/)󠁿 [morgenbesser](https://profiles.wordpress.org/morgenbesser/) April 17, 2024 I encountered a technical problem and reported it here.

The one that looked most promising was the Slider Responsive Slideshow, and I installed it. Very clever design, easy to configure, great show on the page. I had one problem, though, I wanted to get rid of the dots below the slider. I asked the question, got an immediate answer, needed further clarification, got it – and now I’m happy. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4e2b5766cc8e3cd606265dc7e2c1b4bd19345225b257b30037c4091db2425d7b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Skydeselskab](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/skydeselskab/)󠁿 [1810pihl48](https://profiles.wordpress.org/1810pihl48/) September 23, 2019 1 reply Fine support ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/507b2c0010d5f388785fe5d7294c837ca56eec84f3e7b2a670608272fec45b77? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[best](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-698/)󠁿 [inbobot](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ataturk1925/) July 8, 2019 best tools for slider tanks [ Read all 12 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/slider-responsive-slideshow/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Responsive Slideshow” is open source software.
