Beskrywing

Slide Crafter Reborn lets you create and manage responsive sliders as a custom post type. Features include:
– WordPress Posts Source: Pull any public post type (posts, pages, custom types) into a fully dynamic slider — content updates automatically as you publish. Filter by category, choose ordering, and set the post count. No HTML required.
– Parametric Customization: Configure slides per view, spacing, loop, pagination, navigation, autoplay, speed, animation type, and custom CSS.
– Responsive Sliders: Powered by Swiper, ensuring compatibility across devices.
– Dynamic Cards: Add up to 10 cards with a user-friendly repeater interface.
– WooCommerce Integration: Automatically pull featured products into a slider.
– Shortcode and block: [slidecrafterreborn_slide id="X"] still works. From 1.7.0 you can also insert the Slide Crafter Gutenberg block and pick a slider.
– Accessibility: Keyboard navigation, labelled controls, and autoplay that pauses when the visitor prefers reduced motion.
– Lazy-loaded images: Off-screen slide images use loading="lazy" so the first visible slides load first.

Slide Crafter Insert a Slide Crafter Reborn slider. Choose a slide created under Slides.

Create sliders under the “Slides” menu in the WordPress admin.

Kwel-vrae

How do I customize sliders?: Open a slide under Slides. The settings sidebar controls slides per view, spacing, loop, pagination, navigation, autoplay, speed, and animation. Add up to 10 HTML cards (or use Posts / WooCommerce as the data source).
How do I put a slider on a page?: Use [slidecrafterreborn_slide id="123"] (the ID is shown in the Slides list and in the editor) or add the Slide Crafter block and choose that slide.
Why did autoplay stop?: If the operating system or browser has prefers-reduced-motion enabled, autoplay is disabled so the slider does not move on its own. Arrows, pagination, and keyboard still work.
Do all slide images load at once?: Images in the first visible slides (based on “slides per view”) load eagerly. Images further along the carousel use loading="lazy". The Swiper library itself is unchanged.
Is it secure?: Card HTML is passed through wp_kses_post. Custom CSS is restricted to a property allow-list.

Changelog

1.7.0

August 25, 2026:
* Compat: Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
* Performance: loading="lazy" (and decoding="async") on slide images; the first visible slides stay eager so the carousel does not wait on every image.
* Accessibility: prefers-reduced-motion turns autoplay off; Swiper keyboard control; region/carousel ARIA and labelled prev/next.
* Editor: Gutenberg block slide-crafter-reborn/slider (block.json, dynamic render). The shortcode is unchanged.
* Design: Slide editor uses native WordPress admin controls (notices, .button, no purple/gold glow on admin chrome).
* Docs: docs/USER-GUIDE.md (English) and docs/MODE-DEMPLOI.md (French).
* The bundled Swiper build is not replaced or refactored.

1.6.0

June 2026:
* New Feature: AI Card Generation. When the WordPress “AI” plugin is active with a configured connector (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google AI), a new panel appears above the card editor letting you describe your slider in plain language and generate all cards in one click.
* The panel gracefully falls back to a setup guide (with a direct link to install the AI plugin) when no AI connector is configured.
* Generated cards are sanitized through the same wp_kses pipeline as manually entered cards.

1.5.0

May 26, 2026 — WordPress 7.0 release:
* New Feature: WordPress Posts as a dynamic source. Any public post type (posts, pages, custom post types) can now feed a slider automatically. Configure post type, number of posts, ordering (date, title, random, recently modified), and optionally filter by category. The slider updates itself as you publish — zero HTML required.
* The Data Source selector now includes “WordPress Posts (dynamic)” alongside Manual and WooCommerce modes.
* Admin: new settings panel for post source (post type, count, order, category) with live preview that refreshes as you change options.
* Fix: Removed the redundant “Slide Title” sidebar field. The native WordPress title field is now the single source of truth; the AJAX save reads from it directly.
* Fix: Leaving the edit page after a successful AJAX save no longer triggers the “changes may not be saved” browser alert.
* Tags updated to reflect the new dynamic posts capability.
* Tested up to: WordPress 7.0.

1.4.4

April 29, 2026:
* Fix: Corrected AJAX product search filtering. The search term is now properly captured using $_REQUEST, ensuring results match the user’s input (e.g., searching for “honey” no longer returns “carrots”).
* Improvement: JavaScript Localization. Placeholders and messages are now dynamically handled via wp_localize_script for full translation support.

1.4.3

April 26:
* Fix: Woo Features on preview and shortcode are now correctly synchronized.

Fix: Replaced obsolete copy clipboard API that is not compatible with Brave Browser

1.4.1

New: Added a copy button to easily copy the shortcode

Fixed: Resolved rendering glitches and layout breaks when switching between transition effects (Fade, Cube, Slide) in the real-time preview.
Improvement: Cleaned up the product HTML template to ensure consistent image sizing and proper link wrapping.

1.3.0

New Feature: Added WooCommerce integration. You can now pull “Featured Products” automatically.
New Feature: Real-time preview switching between manual HTML cards and dynamic products.
Improvement: Deep refactor of the admin JS to handle Swiper instance destruction and reconstruction for a smoother UI.
