MetaSlider users often want a carousel slideshow. In a carousel, there are multiple images visible in the display at the same time. This is possible with MetaSlider, and in this guide we’ll show you how it’s done. This image shows a typical carousel slideshow with both images and text captions.
- Go to “Quick Start” in your WordPress admin area.
- Choose “Carousel” from the dropdown menu shown below.
- In this example, we’re going to choose “Image Carousel with Captions”. Click that option and then click “Yes, please”.
- If you publish this slideshow immediately it will look like the “Image Carousel with Captions” demo.
- You can use the MetaSlider interface to update both the image and the text caption.
Look in the right sidebar and choose the width of your slideshow. In this example, I’ve set both the width and the height to be 400px so my image displays will be square. If you do want multiple images to show at the same time, make sure the “Width” is narrower than your container, which is the space on the website where you want to place this carousel.
- In the “Carousel mode” area, you will set of options for your carousel:
- Click the “Preview” button in the toolbar at the top of the screen. You will now see your carousel in action.
It is possible to create a carousel slideshow with any type of slides. In the image below we have created a carousel slideshow with YouTube slides. You can create carousels with Vimeo slides, Layer slides, or anything else that’s available in MetaSlider.
