Create a slider

WoodMart provides two slider workflows. With Elementor or WPBakery, you create a reusable slider and build each slide as a separate item. With Gutenberg, you create the slider directly on the page with nested blocks.

Choose the workflow

  • Gutenberg: add the Slider block to the page and build its Slider item blocks inside it. See Add a WoodMart slider to a Gutenberg page.
  • Elementor or WPBakery: create a reusable slider under Dashboard -> Slides, add its slides, and then insert the slider on a page.
Slides and sliders in the WordPress dashboard
Reusable sliders and their slides are managed from the Slides menu.
