I’m sorry if this touches on repeated topics – I can’t seem to get to a resolution on this, and I’m a very new wordpress user / web developer wannabee.
I simply what to use the/a post slider to produce a live-updating slide show of posted images. However, I have two questions:
(a) Can it be made to be full-screen, like the full page slider within the enfold theme? The full page slider obviously only takes static images and not images from posts. If not then is there a good plugin slider that you can suggest?
(b) Is there a way to get the slider to auto-refresh before looping? In other words, as new posts are submitted to the blog and therefore new images are available I’d like the slider to pick them up without the user having to reload the page.
The use case is simple. Users will be submitting photos as they are taken, and each will be entered as a post. The slider will then show a live liveshow that will not only loop but each time through will pick up any new photos that have been submitted since the last loop (or some variation of that would be fine as well – I just don’t want to have to refresh the page manually to get the new images to be added to the slideshow).
I’ve been pulling my hair out for two days and frustrated. I used to be able to use 3rd party sites (e.g., Google Photos) for this functionality but the functionality is no longer supported on the sites I’ve used in the past.
Your help is very appreciated. Love the Enfold theme so far. Thank you.

For what your trying to do you will need to use the post slider element. You can drag it inside a color section to make it fullwidth.
Cheers!

Thank you for your reply. To be more clear, full-width is not what I’m looking for. I’m actually looking for full-screen (like the full-screen slider) – so automatically scaling the images to the entire screen size.
Also, the other (and perhaps most important aspect of this) is how to get the slideshow to update with new posts without the user having to reload/refresh the page? I’d like the slideshow to pick up posts that have been made since it was started. Is there a way to force a refresh / re-load of the posts to be displayed before it repeats (for example)?
Thanks.

Unfortunately that would take a lot of time and code and would have to be considered custom work for now.
You can create a feature request here, https://kriesi.at/support/enfold-feature-requests/, and we may see something get added in a future update.
