<p><strong>FTMPUB Media Slider</strong> lets you create responsive image sliders from your WordPress media library with an easy-to-use interface.</p>
<p>The plugin registers a custom taxonomy to group images into sliders and provides a shortcode <code>[ftmpub_media_slider]</code> for displaying them anywhere — classic editor, block editor, Elementor, etc. Each slider uses native horizontal scrolling with snap: configure columns, rows, and image height per device (desktop, tablet, mobile), plus autoplay, arrows, dots, lazy loading, width, and gap. Images are selected through the media picker and can be reordered via drag and drop. A live preview is available in the admin.</p>
