Frequently asked questions

Does this plugin work with newest WP version and also older versions?

Yes, this plugin works really fine with newest version as old version!

I want to wrap slider output in a div element

You can use trs_bx_slider_return_shortcode_html filter like this way. add_filter('trs_bx_slider_return_shortcode_html', 'test_func', 10, 3); function test_func( $slider, $slider_id ){ if (absint($slider_id) === 4){ $html = ''; $html .= $slider; $html .= ''; return $html; } // default return $slider; }

I am getting error that Extension of provided images / video is not supported. Please read documentation.

You are getting this error because you are using image or video that is supported by BX slider by TRS. We support mp4, webm and ogg video type that is compatible with HTML video element. Same in case with images. But you can extend and add your own extensions by using below filters. 'trs_bx_slider_add_image_types' 'trs_bx_slider_add_video_types' Example: Add More Images Extensions add_filter('trs_bx_slider_add_image_types', 'test_func', 10); function test_func( $image_types ){ $image_types[] = 'dwg'; $image_types[] = 'any-other-image-extension'; return $image_types; } Add More Videos…
