Aha Hero Slider is a 100% free hero carousel for WordPress: one shortcode, a dedicated slide library, and a front end that is tuned for real visitors — not only for wide desktop screens.

<h4>Why this plugin is different</h4>
Hero sections often look great on desktop and fall apart on mobile — cramped text, awkward crops, buttons that are hard to tap. Aha Hero Slider is built so your Default slides adapt the layout: on phones and small tablets, each slide becomes a clean card — image on top, then headline, copy, and CTAs on a dedicated content area — so your offer stays readable, on-brand, and conversion-friendly on the device people actually use to browse.
We’re <a href="https://ahaplugins.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Aha Plugins</a>: we ship professional WordPress tools and use generous free plugins so you can see our quality firsthand.

<h4>What you get under the hood (technical overview)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Dedicated Hero Slides CPT with fields for desktop image, mobile image, badge, headline, subtitle, and one or two action buttons</li>
<li>Two slide templates: Default (text + buttons, with the mobile card behaviour above) and Image Only (full-area image with optional link)</li>
<li>Shortcode <code>[aha_hero_slider]</code> with optional <code>group</code> to show different sliders on different pages</li>
<li>Hierarchical Slide groups taxonomy for organizing slides</li>
<li>Per-slide style options: text colors, font sizes, button colors, border radius</li>
<li>Global Design settings: default arrow, bullet, text, and button colors; optional overlay mask; autoplay progress colors — from Settings → Design</li>
<li>Optional autoplay progress indicator (<code>progress="bar"</code> or <code>progress="circle"</code> via shortcode); autoplay pauses on hover on pointer devices</li>
<li>Arrows use a subtle hover reveal; pagination uses accessible controls</li>
<li>Front-end carousel in vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery carousel dependency)</li>
<li>Works with any theme or page builder (Elementor, Bricks, Oxygen, Divi, etc.) via shortcode</li>
<li>Uninstall tab: optional removal of plugin data when the plugin is deleted from Plugins → Installed Plugins (not on deactivate alone)</li>
</ul>

<h4>Global Design & Color Palette</h4>
Go to Aha Hero Slider → Settings → Design to configure a neutral color palette for the slider. Set defaults for arrow colors, bullet colors, text colors, button colors, and an optional overlay mask for better text contrast. Individual slides can override these defaults with their own per-slide styles.
<h4>Multiple Sliders on the Same Site</h4>
Create Slide groups (taxonomy) and assign each slide to a group. Use the shortcode with a group slug: <code>[aha_hero_slider group="homepage"]</code>. Multiple groups: <code>[aha_hero_slider group="home,sale"]</code>.
