Frequently asked questions
How do I display a slider on my site?
You can insert a slider using shortcode [liyan_gs_slider id="YOUR_SLIDER_ID"] into any page, post, or widget area. Alternatively, if you are using the Block Editor (Gutenberg), search for the Liyanit Responsive Slider block and select your desired slider.
Can I override the default slider template in my theme?
Yes! Copy the template file from wp-content/plugins/liyanit-responsive-slider/public/views/slider-template.php to your active theme folder at wp-content/themes/your-theme/liyanit-responsive-slider/slider-template.php. Do not modify the plugin’s original template file, because your changes may be lost when the plugin is updated.
Is jQuery required on the frontend?
No. The frontend slider script uses vanilla JavaScript and does not require jQuery or other external frontend JavaScript libraries.
Does the plugin create custom database tables?
No. The plugin uses the WordPress Custom Post Type liyan_gs_slider and WordPress post meta instead of creating custom database tables.
Does the slider support accessibility features?
Yes. The slider includes keyboard navigation, ARIA attributes, visible focus states, pause behavior for hover and focus, and support for the user’s prefers-reduced-motion preference.
