• I’m sliding images with text beneath. When I click on an image, it goes full screen. Can this feature be turned off? It happens by accident too often.

    This is a WordPress thing (the standard WordPress Editor is used to edit slide content).

    When you use the WP “Add Media” button to insert images into your slide content, you must make sure the ‘Link To’ setting for that image is set to ‘None’ (and not ‘Media File’).

    Thanks for your help, that worked like a charm.
    On another note, I wanted to let you know I think this should be a paid for plug-in. I’m not in the computer business or anything. I clean carpets. But I strongly believe that people should be paid for their work. Even if it’s just a one person job and all you did was adapt the software for wordpress. Then charge accordingly, $3 for example if that covers your labour. It’s better for both of us. You get compensated and I get a plug-in that’s more likely to be properly supported.
    Just speeking as a user. I have no problem paying someone for their work. But, I would want 30 day trial to make sure it’s the plug-in I want. Not a money back guarantee. I tried several slider plug-ins before settling on yours. I would hate to pay for all of them, and then look for refunds afterwards – too messy.
    A paid plug-in doesn’t need to complex with lots of features to satisfy me. It just needs to do what I need, and nothing more. But, it should work flawlessly. Here are some issues I found with this plug in:
    1. Sliding on mobile is jerky. The slide doesn’t have momentum. It comes to a stop when the finger is lifted, then proceeds to the next slide. This might be an Owl issue, rather than an adaptation issue.
    2. The auto-slide doesn’t reset the timer after a manual slide. When scrolling through slides, it will periodically slide 2 slides instead of one.
    3. The slide action is smooth on some computers, jerky on others. Probably a hardware issue. Also could be an Owl issue, instead of an adaptation issue.

    Again, thanks for your help, and the plug-in. Since you’re not charging for this plug-in, I would like to make a donation. Can you let me know how much is fair?

    Hi, Slide Anything, as you mentioned, uses the Owl Carousel engine. So within a single SA settings page, you enter all the options & content for your slider, and then the corresponding Owl Carousel JavaScript, HTML & CSS code is generated for that slider. Here is an example of the code required for a basic OC slider:
    https://owlcarousel2.github.io/OwlCarousel2/demos/basic.html

    So Slide Anything is a wrapper for the Owl Carousel engine, and I never actually modified the Owl Carousel code – I left that to the experts. BUT unfortunately I see that ongoing OC project development ended middle/end last year – see:
    https://github.com/OwlCarousel2/OwlCarousel2
    (such a pity as I have used OC for many, many years)

    So at some point I am going to have to rewrite the whole Slide Anything plugin to use a new slider engine, which will be a mammoth undertaking (maybe have to quit my day-job for a few months to do this ?? ) Maybe during a quiet period in the future I can start looking at this part-time.

    As you seem to be a bit of a ‘slider connoisseur’, maybe you can do me a favour and have a look at the suggested Tiny Carousel demo page, and let me know if it ticks the boxes and resolved the issues you mentioned above:
