Vantage – Image slideshow or carousel

By rossgardens, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Hi

I’d like to add to a page of my site a slideshow/carousel that people could click on, which then expands so they can flick through images showing my portfolio. Ideally a strip of thumbnails of the images along the bottom would be great but not essential. I’d also like to be able to add text to describe each of the images if possible.
I’ve tried SiteOrigin Slider, SiteOrigin Post Carousel, Sidebar Slideshow and NextGEN Slideshow but none seem to be able to do this – unless I’m missing something…
Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks
Ross

    Hi Ross

    I think I know what you’re going for. After some research, this is the closest I could find. I’m not sure it’s exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s definitely worth a try.

    Hi Greg
    Many thanks for your suggestion – appreciated.
    I'm not sure whether I'm being daft, but please could you kindly tell me how to add this gallery into an existing page?
    I've installed the PlugIn.
    I want to add the gallery to a row in SiteBuilder on a page with other text etc.
    I assume I add the Visual Editor widget where I want the gallery but then
    I'm not sure how to add the Fullscreen Galleria…
    Sorry if this is a silly question!

    I haven’t tested this out but going on the usage description you’d add a regular gallery. In Page Builder, try adding this via the Visual Editor widget > Add Media > Add Gallery.

    Usage
    Use WordPress Gallery feature and media as usual. Images are handled automatically and shown in fullscreen viewer.

    If there are any problems with that, try adding doing the same outside of Page Builder in a regular page, Add Media > Add Gallery and see if the result is any different.

    Thanks Andrew

    I installed ‘Carousel without Jetpack plugin’ and it seems to have done the trick using Visual Editor in PageBuilder.
    Would you know how I can remove the image file names which are visible in the bottom right corner when you open up an image?

    Sure, try the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:

    /* Jetpack */

.jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-close-hint:hover, .jp-carousel-light .jp-carousel-titleanddesc div {
display: none;
}
