Ashtabula

Ashtabula - A Swiper Slider Plugin for WordPress

sungraizfaryad

Create unlimited named sliders, each with its own settings and per-slide options (alt text, caption, link, call-to-action). Display them anywhere via the <code>[simplewpslider id="ID"]</code> shortcode or the bundled Gutenberg block. Powered by Swiper.js 11 — accessible, touch-friendly, no jQuery.
Slide types
<ul>
<li>Image slides (uses your Media Library, full srcset + lazy-load)</li>
<li>Self-hosted video slides (MP4)</li>
<li>YouTube and Vimeo slides (privacy-friendly click-to-load facade)</li>
</ul>
Per-slider settings
<ul>
<li>Autoplay, speed, loop, transition (slide / fade)</li>
<li>Arrows, dots, keyboard navigation</li>
<li>Slides-per-view + responsive breakpoints</li>
<li>Aspect ratio enforcement (16:9 / 4:3 / 1:1 / auto) to prevent layout shift</li>
<li>Respect prefers-reduced-motion</li>
</ul>
Accessibility
<ul>
<li>WAI-ARIA carousel pattern</li>
<li>Drag-reorder via keyboard in the admin</li>
<li>Full screen-reader live-region announcements via Swiper’s a11y module</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
The plugin makes no outbound requests at runtime. YouTube embeds use <code>youtube-nocookie.com</code> and only load after user interaction. Vimeo thumbnails are fetched via Vimeo’s public oEmbed endpoint only when an editor adds a Vimeo slide in the admin — never on frontend page loads.
