Block Editor Gallery Slider will help you convert your WordPress built-in galleries into fancy sliders. All images will open into a modal window if you want to display a larger image preview.
Classic Editor, WooCommerce and Custom Post Type support included.
Tested with WordPress 5.9, but WP 5.8 and below support is also included.
Usage
Once you install and activate the plugin you can go to any post or page and create a new gallery.
Then depending if you are using the Block or Classic Editor you will see an addtional meta box or panel, with title Gallery Slider Options on the sidebar.
There is one major difference for the Classic and Block editor users.
For Classic Editor once you enable the plugin the sliders will be applied to ALL the galleries on the current page or post.
While, if you are using the Block Editor you have the ability to select sliders functionality for each gallery individually.
For Classic Editor there are 2 steps involved, while on with Block Editor you only need to select the Container wrap size to active the gallery slider.
To remove the slider functionality you need to select the default option from the select dropdown.
Note: The gallery slider container width is relative to the parent container and it will always fit the parent if its size is less than the selected one.
