No. Create slides from the WordPress admin and display them with the `[AWP-SLIDER]` shortcode. If you use Elementor, you can also manage everything visually inside the editor. ### Does this plugin require Elementor? No. Elementor is optional. The shortcode works with any standard WordPress theme. The Elementor widget is available only when Elementor is active. ### How do I add the slider to a page? Create at least one slide under **AWP Sliders**, then paste `[AWP-SLIDER]` into the page content. With Elementor, add the **AWP Slider** widget to your layout. ### Why is my slide not showing? Every slide needs an image. For CPT slides, set a **Featured Image**. For Elementor custom slides, upload an image in the slide repeater. Slides without images are skipped on purpose. ### Can I change colors and styles? Yes. Use **AWP Sliders Settings Colors** for global defaults. In Elementor, you can override colors, typography, button styles, and navigation for each widget instance. ### Can I show more than one slide at a time? Yes. In Settings (or Elementor carousel controls), set **Slides per view** for desktop, tablet, and mobile. You can also adjust spacing and centered slides. ### Will it slow down my website? The plugin loads Swiper and slider assets only when needed for pages that use the slider. Keep slide images optimized for best performance. ### Is it compatible with the latest WordPress? Yes. Advanced Image Slider & Carousel is tested up to WordPress 7.0 and requires PHP 7.4 or higher. ### Where is my data stored? Slide content is stored in your WordPress database as custom post type entries and plugin settings. Nothing is sent to third-party servers by this plugin. ### How do I report a bug or request a feature? Use the WordPress.org support forum for the plugin.
