Installation
Tip: this plugin is published on WordPress.org, so the fastest path is Plugins → Add New in your WP admin and searching for Xtreme Slider.
From WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New, search for Xtreme Slider, and click Install Now followed by Activate. The plugin's menu appears in your admin sidebar immediately.
Detailed installation walkthrough — coming soon.
Configuration
Each slider has its own settings screen with the following fields:
- Layout — default, cool, or 3D.
- Image ratio — 16:10, 1:1, or Fixed (custom pixel height).
- Visible count — how many slides are visible at once on desktop.
- Autoplay — on/off plus speed in milliseconds.
- Fullscreen — toggle for an immersive viewport.
- Link hover color / Gradient start & end — the gradient pair only applies in the “cool” layout.
A field-by-field reference is on the way.
Shortcodes & Blocks
Drop a saved slider into any post, page, or widget area with the shortcode:
[xtreme_slider id="1"]Replace the ID with the slider ID shown on the Xtreme Slider list screen. The admin also shows a one-click copy button next to each row.
Troubleshooting
Slides look stretched. Switch from a ratio (16:10, 1:1) to Fixed and enter the height you actually want in pixels — width will auto-scale to maintain aspect ratio. Crop your source images to the same ratio for the cleanest result.
Gradient isn't showing. The gradient pair only applies to the “cool” layout. Switch the layout dropdown and the gradient fields will become relevant.
Autoplay isn't triggering. Confirm autoplay is enabled in the slider settings and that the speed value is a positive number. Some performance plugins defer all JavaScript until user interaction — disable JS deferral for the slider script handle to test.

FAQ
Does Xtreme Slider depend on jQuery on the frontend?
No. The frontend slider is vanilla JavaScript with no jQuery dependency, which keeps it fast and avoids conflicts with other plugins.
How many layout modes are available?
Three: default (carousel), cool (with optional gradient overlay), and 3D. Each layout has its own image-ratio and visible-count options.
Can I set a fixed pixel height for slides?
Yes. Pick the Fixed image ratio and enter a height in pixels (between 50 and 2000). The slide width then auto-scales to maintain aspect ratio.
Where do I get the slider shortcode?
After saving a slider in the admin, the list view shows a copy-ready shortcode tag. Paste it into any post, page, or widget.
Does it work with WPML / Polylang?
Each slider is a row in a custom table and can be referenced by ID across translations. Translation plugins that respect shortcode IDs work without extra config.
