Then copy the shortcode from the Publish slider box and paste it into a post or a page.

Manual installation

Download Smart Slider 3
Upload the Smart Slider 3 through ‘Plugins > Add New > Upload’ interface or upload smart-slider-3 folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
Activate the Smart Slider 3 plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

1. How do I add the slider to my site?

You can add your slider by shortcode or via the widget control panel or PHP shortcode. Watch the 🎥 Publishing tutorial video to learn more about the topic.

2. Where can I reach the documentation?

https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/

3. Where is Canvas mode?

Canvas mode was renamed to Absolute. You can add Absolute positioned layers using the toggle at the Add panel, and switch a Default layer to Absolute at layer window > Style tab > Position.

But we recommend working with Default positioned layers because the responsive behavior is better, and the slide building is much faster. Most layouts people want to create can be done with Default positioned layers only. Absolute positioned layers should only be used for decoration.

Want to learn more about Absolute positioned layers? 🎥 Check out the tutorial video!

4. Why is there an empty space where the slider should be?

It means that there is a JavaScript error on your site which blocks other scripts(for example Smart Slider’s scripts). You can open up the browser debugger window with F12 button and check the console if it shows error or not. If you solve these errors Smart Slider should work fine.

Usual problem is that you have the latest WordPress version, but your theme loads very old jQuery version (1.7 or older) and the WordPress admin bar throws a JavaScript error. In this case, you have to remove the old jQuery from your theme’s functions.php.

If you are unable to solve these problems, feel free to contact us!

5. What should I do when I experience any problem?

6. Is Smart Slider 3 is totally responsive?

Smart Slider 3 is 100% responsive with each items, so it will fit perfectly into your page, regardless of the size of your desktop screen or device.

Be sure you check out the tutorial video about the 🎥 Responsive Settings.

7. Can I customize the fonts of the slider?

Yes you can customize everything for every state. (Hover, normal) The slider comes with Google Web Font support, allowing you to pick from over a dozen font families. You can also use your own font by simply writing its name to the font family field. Check out our tutorial video to learn how to use custom fonts.

8. Can I show multiple instances of slider on one page?

Yes, you can use as many sliders on a page as you want. But you can only use one slider once.

9. How to include a slider in a post or a page?

[smartslider3 slider=Here comes the slider id]

10. How to include a slider into header.php or other PHP files?

<?php echo do_shortcode('[smartslider3 slider=Here comes the slider id]'); ?>

11. Does Smart Slider support sites with SSL?

Of course! Smart Slider use protocol relative urls which works fine on http:// and on https:// too.
