Hi Linda and Sarah!
What is the problem exactly: the animation or the autoplay?
– If the animation is the problem and you would like to set it to slider, then please go into the Sliders -> click on your slider and in the left side you should see the type parameter -> click on the Configure button on the next to it. In the pop-up window you can see a plenty of settings for the actual type, here you should search the Animation parameter and set it to Horizontal. (also please note that the Smart Slider 2 has main animation and layer animation)
– The autoplay is not available in the free version, I’m really sorry for this, but in real we invested a lot of time into this plugin. Just to imagine we have more than 20 testers from all around the world, so it’s a very very big project with a ton of efforts.
If you have any idea how we should improve or any problem please write to me and I’ll help!
