Paste one shortcode into any post, page, widget or template — no coding required— and adjust the look from the dashboard. **Features:** * One shortcode — `[suwps_post_slider]` — works in posts, pages, widgets and PHP templates * Full-image cards with category badge, author, date and a Read More button * Every part can be switched on or off: category, author, date, Read More button, arrows, dots, autoplay and pause button * Settings page: show/hide each part, set the time per slide, pick the button colours, set your own Read More label * Shortcode attributes override the settings for a single slider * Responsive — 1, 2 or 3 cards depending on the space the slider has, not just the screen size * Filter by category, show specific posts by ID, or skip the post being viewed * Uses the primary category from Rank Math or Yoast SEO when one is set * Works with any theme: the slider’s styles are scoped to its own class names * Works with WebP and lazy-load plugins such as Imagify, EWWW and ShortPixel, including their `` tags * Right-to-left languages supported **Accessibility** The slider is built to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA: * A pause/play button whenever slides move on their own (WCAG 2.2.2) * Slides stop moving while the mouse is over them, as soon as a keyboard user enters the slider, and for good once a visitor uses the arrows, dots or swipes * For visitors who have asked their device to reduce motion, slides switch instantly instead of gliding * Keyboard users can tab through every card; the focused card always slides into view, with a clear focus outline * Labelled buttons, slide positions announced to screen readers, 24px minimum click targets * Default colours meet the AA contrast ratios, including text over photos If you change the colours in the settings, keep text at a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its background, and keep the pause button on while autoplay is on. **Performance** * No jQuery. The carousel uses Embla Carousel: about 10 KB of JavaScript (gzipped) in total, where Owl Carousel needed 11 KB plus jQuery * CSS and JavaScript load only on pages that use the shortcode; scripts are deferred * No layout shift while the page loads: cards are laid out with CSS before the script runs * Images lazy-load with responsive sizes, and the next cards preload just before they slide in * Autoplay only runs while the slider is visible on screen * Add `priority="true"` when the slider is at the top of a page, so its first image loads first **Basic usage:** ``` [suwps_post_slider] ``` **With a header:** ``` [suwps_post_slider eyebrow="From The Blog" title="Latest Insights" subtitle="Practical guides on website care, speed and security."] ``` **For single post templates (skip current, no arrows):** ``` [suwps_post_slider title="Related Articles" count="6" skip="current" nav="false" underline="false"] ``` **Your own button text and colour:** ``` [suwps_post_slider readmore_text="Lees meer" accent="#2c6e49"] ``` **In a PHP template:** ``` ``` The **Post Slider** admin page lists every attribute with copy-ready examples. Full documentation: [smartupworld.com/smartupworld-post-slider/](https://smartupworld.com/smartupworld-post-slider/) **Third-party library** The carousel is powered by [Embla Carousel](https://www.embla-carousel.com/) 8.6.0 by David Jerleke, released under the MIT License.

Upload the `smartupworld-post-slider` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from **Plugins Add New**. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. Paste `[suwps_post_slider]` into any post, page, or widget. 4. Visit **Post Slider** in your WordPress admin menu to choose what the cards show, set colours, and see every shortcode option. ## FAQ ### What shortcode do I use? Use `[suwps_post_slider]` anywhere in your site. The admin **Post Slider Shortcode Guide** tab lists every attribute with copy-ready examples. ### How do I hide the date, author or category? Untick them under **Post Slider Settings** to hide them on every slider, or use` date="false"`, `author="false"` or `cat="false"` on a single slider. ### How do I change the colours? Go to **Post Slider Settings Button colours**. For one slider only, use the `accent` attribute, for example `accent="#2c6e49"`. ### How do I change the “Read More” text? Type your own label under **Post Slider Settings**, or use `readmore_text="Lees meer"` on a single slider. Left empty, the label is translated automatically when a translation for your language is available. ### Can I filter by category? Yes. Use `category="your-category-slug"` or `category="14"` (numeric ID). Example:`[ suwps_post_slider category="tech" count="6"]` ### How do I show specific posts? Use the `ids` attribute with comma-separated post IDs: `[suwps_post_slider ids=" 12,45,67"]`. The posts appear in that order. This overrides `count` and `category`. ### Does it work on single post templates? Yes. Add `skip="current"` to leave out the post being viewed, ideal for a “Related Articles” section. ### Does it conflict with my theme’s slider? No. The plugin does not load Owl Carousel or jQuery and uses its own `suwps-` class names, so sliders from your theme or other plugins are not affected. ### Can I turn autoplay off? Yes: untick **Autoplay** in the settings, or use `autoplay="false"`. With autoplay off, the pause button is not shown. ### Can I make the slides change faster or slower? Yes. Set **Time per slide** under **Post Slider Settings**, from 2 to 15 seconds( 4 by default). For one slider only, use the `delay` attribute in seconds, for example` delay="6"`. ### Why is there a pause button? Content that moves on its own needs a way to stop it (WCAG 2.2.2). You can hide it under **Post Slider Settings**, but your slider will then no longer meet that accessibility requirement while autoplay is on. ### Where is the documentation? Full documentation is at [smartupworld.com/smartupworld-post-slider/](https://smartupworld.com/smartupworld-post-slider/). The admin **Post Slider** page also contains all attributes and copy-ready shortcode examples. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SmartUpWorld Post Slider” is open source software.

No jQuery, less JavaScript. * Accessibility: pause/play button, slides stop on interaction and keyboard focus, focused cards slide into view, visible focus outlines, 24px click targets, contrast- safe default colours, no sliding animation with reduced motion. * Performance: no layout shift while loading, deferred scripts, responsive image sizes, preloading of the next cards, autoplay only while visible, and a priority option for sliders at the top of a page. * The card category uses the Rank Math or Yoast SEO primary category when set, and skips “Uncategorized”. * Changed: `layout` now defaults to “fullwidth”, which fills the area the shortcode is placed in. Use `layout="contained"` for the previous centred 1200px width. * Changed: CSS classes now use the `suwps-` prefix. Custom CSS written for the old `suw-` classes needs updating. * Fixed: the FAQ wrongly said WordPress would remove a duplicate Owl Carousel loaded by a theme. #### 1.0.1 * Renamed the shortcode tag to [suwps_post_slider] for a unique, conflict-free prefix. * Moved admin page CSS and JavaScript into properly enqueued files. * Renamed the “exclude” attribute to “skip”. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. * Bundled Owl Carousel 2.3.4 — no CDN dependency. * Shortcode attributes: eyebrow, title, subtitle, underline, count, category, ids, exclude, layout, nav, dots. * ARIA accessibility improvements — labelled nav buttons and dots. * LCP-safe eager loading on first slide image. * Admin documentation page with copy-ready examples and SmartUpWorld branding. ## Meta * Version **1.1.0** * Last updated **3 andro ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 5.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.3** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/smartupworld-post-slider/) * Tags * [accessibility](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/accessibility/)[carousel](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/carousel/) [post slider](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/post-slider/)[recent posts](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/recent-posts/) [shortcode](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/shortcode/) * [Advanced View](https://mg.wordpress.org/plugins/smartupworld-post-slider/advanced/) ## Ratings Mbola tsy misy domberina voaray hatreto.
