Shortcode examples<\/h4>\n\n[amitry_slider type=\"products\" filter=\"newest\" count=\"12\"]\n[amitry_slider type=\"products\" filter=\"sale\" slides_desktop=\"4\"]\n[amitry_slider type=\"categories\" sort=\"count\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nAll block options are available as shortcode attributes.<\/p>\n\n

- Optional query caching for product and category queries<\/li>\n
- Swiper is bundled locally - no external CDN requests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
WooCommerce compatible<\/h4>\n\n\n- HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible<\/li>\n
- Cart and Checkout blocks compatible<\/li>\n
- Works with the latest WooCommerce and WordPress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Go further with Pro<\/h4>\n\n
A separate Pro add-on extends the free plugin through documented hooks.

The free plugin works fully on its own; Pro requires it and hooks in through the public hook API.<\/p>\n\n

\n- Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.<\/li>\n
- Install the plugin from the WordPress plugin directory, or upload the plugin folder to
\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.<\/li>\n
- Add the Amitry Slider block to any page, drop the Elementor widget into a section, or use the
[amitry_slider]<\/code> shortcode.<\/li>\n- Set global defaults under Settings -> Amitry Slider.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDoes this plugin work without WooCommerce?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. WooCommerce is required because the plugin reads WooCommerce products and product categories.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do I add a product slider without code?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAdd the Amitry Slider block in the editor and choose Products as the type, or use the Elementor widget, or paste the [amitry_slider type=\"products\"]<\/code> shortcode. No code is required.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I show product categories as a carousel?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Set the slider type to Categories to display a category carousel with images, names and optional product counts.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is it compatible with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The plugin declares compatibility with custom_order_tables<\/code>. It does not read or write orders.<\/p><\/dd>\nIs it compatible with block themes (FSE)?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The block uses server-side rendering and works in any theme that supports the block editor.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it work with Elementor?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. A dedicated Amitry Slider widget is registered automatically when Elementor is active.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Will the slider slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. The slider only loads its CSS and JavaScript on pages where it is actually used, and Swiper is bundled locally instead of loaded from an external CDN.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is the slider responsive on mobile?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. You can set a different number of slides per view for desktop, tablet and mobile.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is it translation-ready?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The plugin uses standard WordPress internationalization and ships with a .pot file in \/languages\/<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\nIs there a live demo?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. You can see the product slider, category carousel and all premium designs in action on the live demo: https:\/\/slider.amitry.de\/<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I create a featured products slider?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Choose Featured as the product source to build a featured products slider. You can also pull from newest, best selling, on sale, top rated, manual selection or a specific category.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I show products from a specific category?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Set the product source to a category to show products from that category, or use the category slider to display your product categories as a carousel.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does the slider support autoplay and infinite loop?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. You can enable autoplay with an adjustable delay, pause on hover and seamless infinite looping.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I customize the slider design and colors?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. You can choose a card style, image shape, columns per device, gaps, shadows and hover effects, plus colors for titles, prices and buttons.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it work on the WooCommerce shop and product pages?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. You can place a slider on any page or post, including the homepage, shop page, single product pages and landing pages, using the block, the Elementor widget or the shortcode.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
