</ul>
<h4>NEW!</h4>
<p>I am accepting suggestions for new features and improvements.<br />
If you have an idea, please <a href="https://github.com/Lovor01/makeiteasy-slider/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">open an issue on GitHub</a><br />
or write here in support section.</p>
<h4>JSON configuration how to</h4>
<p>Head to Swiper docs, to <a href="https://swiperjs.com/swiper-api#parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">Parameters section</a> to find parameter you need.<br />
More elaborate configuration for some features is available further below on page, in <a href="https://swiperjs.com/swiper-api#modules" rel="nofollow ugc">Modules section</a>.<br />
Once you found the parameters you need, write them as JSON instead as javascript object, i.e.:</p>
<pre><code>{
    autoplay: {
        delay: 6000,
        disableOnInteraction: true
    },
    pagination: {
        clickable: true
    }
}
</code></pre>
<p>would be written as</p>
<pre><code>{
    "autoplay": {
        "delay": 6000,
        "disableOnInteraction": true
    },
    "pagination": {
        "clickable": true
    }
}
</code></pre>
<p>And enter them on settings tab in block sidebar under Advanced slider configuration section.<br />
You can learn more about JSON in <a href="https://stackoverflow.blog/2022/06/02/a-beginners-guide-to-json-the-data-format-for-the-internet/" rel="nofollow ugc">Stackoverflow blog</a> or on <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json_intro.asp" rel="nofollow ugc">W3schools page</a>.</p>
<p>Your JSON configuration merges with default configuration needed for swiper to run. You can break slider functioning through misconfiguration, so this is the first place to look if something does not work.<br />
There is a built in syntax checker in Advanced slider settings box,</p>
<h3>Developers</h3>
<p>There is a full source code on <a href="https://github.com/Lovor01/makeiteasy-slider" rel="nofollow ugc">github</a>. You can investigate code, adjust it to your needs, collaborate, …</p>


Makeiteasy Slider

Slider based on very popular library Swiper! Insert blocks as slides. Truly open source.

sungraizfaryad

<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Slide types</strong></p>
<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>
<p><strong>Per-slider settings</strong></p>
<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>
<p><strong>Accessibility</strong></p>
<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>
<p>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.</p>
