About this plugin
Exindium Before/After Compare is a lightweight way to showcase visual transformations on your WordPress site. Whether you are highlighting a home renovation, dental work, fitness progress, photo retouching, design changes, or any other before-and-after comparison, the plugin lets you create interactive sliders quickly without writing code.
Sliders can be placed anywhere using a simple shortcode and work with Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, and other themes or page builders that support WordPress shortcodes. Elementor also displays a visual preview of the slider directly inside the editor.
Live Visual Editor
Create and customize sliders from a dedicated admin interface with a sticky live preview. Changes to images, aspect ratio, labels, handle styles, alignment, and other display settings are reflected instantly while editing.

Multilingual Support
Exindium Before/After Compare integrates with both WPML and Polylang.
Slider configuration such as images, orientation, layout, handle style, and appearance is shared across languages. Only the custom “Before” and “After” labels are registered for language-specific translation.
With WPML, these labels are available through String Translation under the “EXBAC Dynamic Labels” domain.
With Polylang, the labels are available through the Strings translations screen.
