The Slider Addon gives you various options and displays layouts from multiple slides to carousels. Below are different slider formats one can apply in the event slider;

• Multi-Event Slider: This view of the slider allow you to show multiple events at a time and slide them continuously.
• Micro Carousel Slider: this is a super elegant and minimal micro carousel type slider that will capture all the events in very little space.
• Focus Slide on Hover: when you hover on a slide it comes into focus and all other slides will fade out.
• Vertical Slider with Multiple Events: This shows more than one event in the vertical slider variation that will also auto adjust the height to fit all the event slide content when scrolling through the events.

To see the above views in action click on this link: https://addons.myeventon.com/event-slider/

Installation

Before getting started, be sure to install and update the EventOn plugin by downloading it from your Codecanyon account. You can follow our tutorial on how to install & activate Eventon.

Next, you’ll need to install and activate the Event slider addon by following our general guide on how to install EventOn addons.

Creating the Slider

1. Head over to the page that you’d like to add the slider or go to your WordPress admin dashboard > Pages > Add new and create a new page.

3. Click on the shortcode generator and select Event Slider as shown below:
   

   

   
   

The next screen will open various other options to customize the slider. These options include:
