Hey guys, i recently started using smart slide 3, the pro version. It has a full page option, but it doesn't exclude the header so it becomes too long and fills more then 100vh and it only has px height adjustments. Any idea how can i adjust it via Vh? Thank you for your time! Cheers!
To display your slider on the home page, go to Appearance/Customize/Theme Design/Home and select your new slider from the drop-down list. Alternatively, go to PagesHome Page and locate the Page Slider meta box in the right column, you can also select your page slider there.

As I said, all I want is for the Smart Slider to reach the very top of the Home Page and slightly transparent Navigation to sit over the top of it.
The slider is currently set up using the Home Page editor

Smart Slider 3 is a feature packed free WordPress slideshow plugin which can help you create mobile ready and search engine optimized slideshows. It offers pre-built slider templates, dynamic slides, page builder support, font management and more.
Smart Slider 3 is available in the WordPress plugin directory. To install it navigate to Plugins > Add New, search for Smart slider and click the install button. Once the installation finishes click activate to enable it.
By the numbers, MetaSlider is the most popular free WordPress slider plugin at WordPress.org. It comes in both a free and premium version, with the free version supporting four different slide show types.
So if you want that drag-and-drop approach where you can design each slide with layers (kind of like a page builder), Smart Slider 3 seems to be the fastest WordPress slider plugin in that category, though maybe not the fastest WordPress slider plugin overall.
And no matter which slider plugin you use, you can make things even faster by using WP Rocket for caching and file optimization, along with Imagify to resize and compress the images that you use in your sliders.
Thank you for this very well put-together article. I have used a now defunct slider that used to pile in A LOT of additional code, and wanted to find a plugin that was less of a burden. Your testing is a great help.
Great article Colin! Currently I'm using WP Rocket with Smart Slider and I'm more than satisfied. With the latest update the Smart Slider team archived 100/100 points which is incredible. Now I have to migrate all my slow revolution sliders. :D
Aside from supporting multiple platforms, Smart Slider offers five different slider types to choose from, Simple, Showcase, Block, Carousel, and WordPress Accordion. The different slider types allow you to fulfill different needs. Simple slides, for instance, are best for full-page slides. Block slides, meanwhile, are ideal for landing pages. Accordion slides, however, are great for showing different information or membership levels.
It is a free and best-rated slider plugin in the WordPress Plugin Directory with more than 300 reviews and most of them are 5-star. The UI is beautiful and easy to use and you can create sliders in a few minutes. Apart from the free version, Smart Slider 3 has a paid version as well. It offers tons of new and useful features to create the slider of your dreams. You can create a simple image slider and layer slider with lots of effects as well. There are many navigation elements you can select for every slider. The most common elements are the arrows and bullets, which are fully customizable.
Smart Slider 3 has tons of amazing layers to create your content. The PRO version has 22 different layers and 6 of them are available in the free version as well. There are basic layers such as a heading, text, button or image layer. The slider also has special layers, like counters, YouTube, Vimeo or video layer.
Each layer has its own settings and is fully customizable. For instance, the heading layer, which is one of the most popular layers has a lot of options. You can change the font color, family, size or weight, make the text italic. You can even change the tag (from h1 to h6 or a div) of the layer for SEO reasons. Speaking of SEO, all texts you write into the slider are perfectly crawlable by search engines. At each image related layer, you can enter an alt text which is also useful for your SEO.
The slider comes with a complex layer animation builder which lets you create any kind of layer animation. There are tons of predefined animations, this is the best if you need a starting point. And you can save your own animation to use it later, which is really handy. Oh, and the best part is that you can manage these layer animations on a nice looking timeline.
If you have a WooCommerce webshop, you can generate product sliders from your featured products. You can create slides from your Facebook posts, Instagram images or Twitter tweets. If you have a YouTube channel, you can create dynamic video slides to show your latest videos.
Assuming that you want your slider to show everything in a uniform way, you will need to take into account the slider dimensions when choosing a new image. For example, all the images used for this slider are 760 pixels wide and 405 pixels high.
This is the demo slider (with some configurations to add thumbnails explained below) that comes with the plugin which allows you to add BIG HEADINGS, Text paragraphs and Buttons to direct your website visitors to specific pages and posts. Sliders are a great way to present images that viewers can interact with.
Ive searched for free and good slider plugin alternatives. I tested a lot and smart slider 3 is working very well. For free! Could you integrate this plugin also in the backend like slider revolution?
thanks. Understand all. But every avia element in the backend represent a shortcode of the theme. Its up to you to integrate plugins there. Yes, I know, that theres no direct possibility to edit slides of slider revolution. But this element allows you to redirect straight to the slide.
