Slider Builder Plugin for WordPress: Hero, Carousel and Slideshow Sliders
Hero banners, boxed sliders, carousels and fade slideshows with drag-positioned layers, animations and video backgrounds.
Build sliders visually without slowing your site down. The front end is plain JavaScript with no jQuery, and it loads only on pages that show a slider.
Fully licensed · No jQuery · Accessible

Everything you need to build great sliders
Drag text, button and image layers into place. Positions are percentages, so layouts scale with the slider.
Per-device position, width, font size and “hide on this device”.
Preview in a real browser frame at each device width.
Fade, slide up/down/left/right and zoom, each with its own delay, duration and easing.
Image with focal point and optional Ken Burns zoom, video (YouTube, Vimeo or MP4), solid color or gradient, and an overlay color.
Full-width hero, boxed slider, carousel with slides per view per device, and fade slideshow.
Arrows, dots, autoplay with progress bar, pause on hover and focus, loop, swipe/drag and keyboard.
Labelled controls, a visible pause/play button, a live region, full keyboard support and reduced-motion support.
First slide loads eagerly with width/height (no layout shift); the rest lazy-load with responsive srcset. Videos embed only when visible.
Shortcode, block, widget, or the theme API slidecraft_show().
Move sliders as JSON (sanitized on import) and duplicate sliders in one click.
Add, duplicate, reorder by drag or arrows, and delete slides.

No. Layer text only allows safe inline tags such as strong, em, br, span and links.
No. Optional YouTube and Vimeo backgrounds load only when you choose them and only when that slide is visible.
Nothing, unless you tick the “Delete all sliders and settings” option under SlideCraft > Settings.
