I’m developing a new page and need a slider that auto-rotates and has thumbnails underneath that are clickable to ‘jump ahead’ if wanted. I know LayerSlider can do this (I’ve tested it) but the slider seems quite complicated and this new page will be edited by non-technical people so I’m concerned about ease of use. Hence seeking another solution.
It appears that none of the Enfold sliders have thumbnail functionality – is this correct? If one does, can you please tell me which one to use and how to set it up?
I’ve also looked at the Gallery element but, despite a setting implying I “can set when the gallery thumbnail animation starts”, I cannot get it to work and the thumbnails and main image do not auto-rotate.
Ideas please as to how I can achieve what I want…?
Hey zimbo,
You are correct that the Enfold sliders don’t have thumbnail functionality, and the gallery thumbnail animation do not auto-rotate.
For easy use you can probably find a free WP plugin for your client, WP Thumbnail Slider looks easy. Here’s a article about 11 Excellent Free Responsive WordPress Slider PluginsBest regards,
MikeJust FYI for anyone interested but WP Thumbnail Slider might look good but – and I find this incredible – you can only have one instance of a slider on a website. Yes, just one. The plugin developer suggested to someone enquiring about this restriction that the solution was, given the software was open source, “if you need more than one slider in one website you need to customize this plugin”. In other words, the plugin is next to useless.
Digging around I found Smart Slider 3 which does have thumbnails and installed it, and it looks very good and is relatively easy to setup.
