MetaSlider Slideshow Pro extends WordPress sliders, slideshows, carousels, and galleries with more ways to present video, site content, and custom layouts. Add images or videos from the WordPress Media Library, arrange slides with drag-and-drop editing, and set captions, links, and picture SEO fields.

Use video, images, posts, and products

Add responsive high-definition video slides from YouTube, Vimeo, and TikTok, or use External Video slides for videos hosted by other services. Local Video slides use videos in the Media Library. Local and external video slides support MP4, WebM, and MOV, with options including cover images, autoplay, mute, lazy loading, and hidden controls. Add captions to these video slides with VTT documents.

External URL slides load images from outside the WordPress website, such as a CDN or image host. Image Folder slides can use images from a Media Library folder or images uploaded between two dates. You can also add a single post or WooCommerce product, or make a Post Feed that updates from blog posts, events, or products using their featured images. Feed settings let you select post types and display order, filter by tags or categories, and create captions with fields such as title, excerpt, author, and date. Combine different slide types in one presentation.

Build animated layers and set the slide timing

Layer slides place CSS3 animated HTML content over a slide. Use the drag-and-drop WYSIWYG editor to arrange text, HTML, images, video, and shortcodes. The editor includes 50 animation options, plus controls for video backgrounds, layer padding, and background color. For still images, the Ken Burns effect adds a slow pan and zoom. Repeating slides and custom slide delays let you repeat a slide or choose how long an individual slide remains on screen.

Adjust themes, navigation, and visibility

Choose a supplied premium theme or use the live Theme Editor to create and preview custom themes for navigation, arrows, captions, and other presentation styles. Thumbnail navigation offers a static row of thumbnails; Filmstrip navigation adds a browsable thumbnail carousel. Scheduling can make sliders visible on selected dates, times, or days of the week.

Add the presentation to a WordPress site

MetaSlider presentations work with the WordPress Block Editor and page builders including Elementor, Beaver Builder, Visual Composer, and Divi. Install MetaSlider Slideshow Pro, open the slider editor, add media or another supported slide type, and arrange the slides with drag-and-drop. Configure captions, links, SEO fields, navigation, themes, visibility, and scheduling as needed. Then add the presentation through a compatible editor or page builder. Pro customers also receive access to the professional support team.
