Customization is at the core of the plugin. Flexible typography settings let you fine-tune every text element, buttons are fully stylable with link behavior, padding, and borders, and you control exactly where content sits on each slide – you can even drag it into position. Responsive column options keep your sliders looking sharp on desktops, tablets, and phones. Advanced slider options – autoplay, loop, touch move, slide speed, and transition effects like Slide, Fade, and Creative – help you build sliders that leave a lasting impression. Whether you're a blogger, marketer, or business owner, Content Slider Block lets you tell your story your way. ### Free Features - **Flexible Slide Backgrounds:** Set a color, gradient, or image background for each slide. - **Rich Slide Content:** Add a title, description, and button to every slide. - **Typography Controls:** Set typography for the title, description, and button. - **Button Styling:** Specify link tab behavior, padding, and border for the button. - **Drag-and-Drop Content Position:** Set different positions for slide content, or simply drag it into place. - **Color Controls:** Different colors for slide title and description, plus button colors and hover colors. - **Responsive Columns:** Apply different column counts per device, with column gap, width, and height controls. - **Slider Options:** Loop, Touch Move, Slide Speed, and Autoplay. - **Transition Effects:** Slide, Fade, and Creative effects. - **Pagination & Navigation:** Show/hide both and configure their dynamic styles, including clickable pagination and dynamic bullets. ### Pro Version – More Effects & Control Upgrade to [**Content Slider Block Pro**](https://bplugins.com/products/content-slider-block/#pricing) for advanced slider behavior and device-level control. **Pro features include:** - **Sortable:** Reorder slides with drag and drop. - **Border:** Border style options on every single slide. - **Advanced Autoplay:** Delay time, Disable on Interaction, Reverse Direction, Pause on Mouse Enter, and Stop on Last Slide. - **Free Mode & Sticky:** Free Mode on drag, with a sticky option. - **Extra Effects:** Cube, Coverflow, Flip, and Cards. - **Keyboard & Mousewheel Control:** Slide with the keyboard or mousewheel. - **Device Visibility:** Show/hide pagination and navigation on tablet and mobile. - **Wrapper Styling:** Background and padding options for the slider wrapper. - **Shortcode:** Use your slider anywhere with a shortcode. ### How to Use Content Slider Block 1.
