Overview

About this plugin

A responsive vertical image slider for WordPress with a modern, dependency-free engine, a built-in lightbox, and a native Gutenberg block — or the classic jQuery-based engine for full backward compatibility. Add any number of images, set height, width, speed, and visible-image count, choose circular looping, and control whether it advances with the up/down arrows or automatically.

Need multiple sliders, ticker/continuous scroll mode, 16 easing effects, Elementor & Divi support, or mass image upload? See Vertical Thumbnail Slider Pro

Unlimited sliders (multiple sliders per site).

-

Modern, dependency-free slider engine with seamless circular looping in both directions — choose per slider, alongside the classic Legacy engine.

Built-in modern lightbox — click any image to enlarge it, no extra plugin needed. A per-image custom link always takes priority over the lightbox.

-

True ticker/continuous scroll mode, available on both the Modern and Legacy engines.

-

16 easing effects, with real per-frame animation on the Modern engine (not a CSS approximation) — Bounce and Elastic curves that actually bounce and spring, on both engines.

Native Gutenberg block: pick a slider, edit its full settings, and add or remove images straight from the Media Library, all from the block sidebar.

-

Native Elementor widget and Divi module.

-

Mass image upload and mass image order update.

Use the WordPress Media Uploader for image upload, from the classic admin screen or the block sidebar.
