Perguntas frequentes

Is Slider Block free?

Yes, Slider Block is a free Gutenberg block plugin.

Does it work with any WordPress theme?

Yes, it will work with any standard WordPress theme.

Can I change block settings?

Yes, you can change block settings from the Gutenberg block editor’s right sidebar.

How many times can I reuse a block?

You can use unlimited times as you want.

Do I need Advanced Custom Fields to use bSlider?

No. ACF is optional. Install and activate Advanced Custom Fields only if you want to show your own custom fields on a slide. The ACF Integration panel appears once you have a field group whose location rules target the post type your slider is querying.

How many ACF fields can I show on a slide?

As many as you like — there is no limit on how many fields a slide can show. Fields you assign to the slide image, title, description, or button under Use ACF For are a separate setting and are shown on top of the ones you pick.

How do I get a YouTube API key or an Instagram access token?

These are only needed for the Social & External Feeds source, which is a
Pro feature. Both credentials are made outside
WordPress, so there is a video for each.

In Pro each of these is also linked inside the plugin, beside the field that asks for it.

Are there video tutorials?

Short walkthroughs of what the plugin can do. The first group covers this free version and is linked
from inside the plugin, at the point each one is about. The rest cover the Social & External Feeds
source, which is a Pro feature — they are here so
you can see how it works before deciding.

In today's world of help bots, call trees, multi-day interaction frequency, bslider simply stands out as exceptional. One email (from a free licensee), a response within a couple of hours; another response shortly thereafter that they were investigating the issues I reported. Maybe 12 hours after that, I received an email announcing they had repaired the defects I reported (and some others) and wishing me well in using the tool. Nobody does that anymore. Their support team deserves respect and appreciation.

I had a problem with the plugin on my website. The team could not reproduce this problem in the first instance. After I had given them admin rights, the problem was solved within a day. Compliment for the great support.

Don't install this plugin "B Slider", it's dangerous for your website, once installed it doesn't even work, gives error on the website, and then won't even edit the page. And the more cruel thing is that it is not even disabled, neither by the admin nor by the developer. This is a dangerous situation. In which my website is stuck. It seems that this plugin has hijacked my website and made it a slave, now the plugin is neither un-installing nor giving an edit option. Nor is fixing my site. I'm stuck. . My site is down, my efforts are in vain

Just to mention, due to one block on the frontend – the entire Bootstrap CSS, entire React JS, complete fontAwesome.css are all loaded. Woow? You can say goodbye to fast page speed. The only good thing is that those are not loaded on every page, but only on those using blocks.
