About Xtreme Slider (3D Image Slider)
From the official readme · v1.5.0Description
XtremeSlider is a free, lightweight WordPress slider plugin that lets you create stunning image sliders with four distinct layout modes and embed them anywhere using a simple shortcode.
Built for performance — the frontend uses pure vanilla JavaScript with zero external dependencies.
Four Layout Modes
Default — Editorial full-bleed slider with peek effect. Center slides are fully visible while adjacent slides peek from the edges. Features infinite seamless looping, vertical title text overlay, and caption/description sections below center slides.
Cool — Card-based slider with customizable gradient background. Rounded-corner slides with hover lift effects and pagination dots.
3D — Dramatic CSS perspective slider with depth transforms. Center slide is prominent while adjacent slides rotate and scale back in 3D space with glassmorphism-styled arrows. Per-slider background color.
Options — Static grid of clickable option cards (image + title + caption). Clicking a card reveals its own HTML content in a detail panel below — useful for product variants, plan comparisons, or “pick one, see details” interfaces. Each card’s HTML is editable with inline Code / Preview tabs. Per-slider background color.
Key Features
- Infinite Loop — Default layout uses clone-based seamless cycling that never ends
- Up to 10 Slides — Add up to 10 images per slider with drag-to-reorder

- Fullscreen Mode — 100vw edge-to-edge display
- Touch & Swipe — Full mobile touch support

- WordPress.org Plugin Check compliance pass — added translators: comments for placeholder strings, tightened input sanitization on the slider editor, gated error_log() output behind WP_DEBUG so production logs stay clean
- Description text refreshed to cover the Options layout (added in 1.4.1) — no behavioural change
1.4.3 – 9th May 2026
- Fixed Cool layout fixed-height sliders losing navigation arrows when more than one slider was on the page — slide widths are derived from natural image dimensions, but lazy-loaded images had not finished loading at init time, so the max-page calculation read width 0 and hid the arrows. Layout and arrow visibility now re-run as each slide image loads, plus once on
window.load
1.4.2 – 9th May 2026
- Fixed Cool layout with fixed-height image ratio cropping wider images by forcing all slides to a uniform slot width — slides now keep each image’s natural width derived from its aspect ratio at the configured fixed height
- Cool layout navigation in fixed-height mode now scrolls by per-slide width instead of a uniform page step
