NEW RELEASE

WP Swiper version 1.2.0 is now live! This update introduces major changes, including a streamlined configuration with the new data-swiper attribute, a new WP Swiper Settings page, optimized asset loading, and more. Please note that the legacy configuration method will be deprecated in future releases.

For more details on what’s new and how to migrate, check out the full update announcement on the WP Swiper Blog.

wpswiper_frontend_js_register_args Filter

The wpswiper_frontend_js_register_args filter allows users to customize parameters when enqueueing the frontend-js script. This filter enables you to modify the script’s dependencies, control whether it loads in the footer, and specify additional loading strategies such as async or defer.

Parameters

  • deps: (array) The script dependencies for frontend-js. Default value is ['wpswiper-bundle']. You can modify this to include additional dependencies or remove existing ones.

  • args: (array|bool) An optional array for additional script loading strategies. If provided, it may be an array with a strategy key (set to either 'async' or 'defer'). If not specified, it defaults to false, indicating that no special loading strategy is applied.

For more information, read the WordPress documentation on wp_enqueue_script.

Example Usage

To modify the default values, add the following code to your functions.php file or your custom plugin:

add_filter('wpswiper_frontend_js_register_args', function($args) {
    // Modify script dependencies
    $args['deps'] = ['wpswiper-bundle', 'jquery', 'your-custom-dependency'];

    // Specify an additional loading strategy, such as async or defer
    $args['args'] = ['in_footer' => false, 'strategy' => 'defer']; // Options: 'async' or 'defer'

    return $args;
});

This filter provides flexibility in how the frontend-js script is loaded, allowing for optimizations tailored to your specific site needs.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

I use this plugin internally to build awesome sliders. At the moment only essential Swiper options are available. More to come!!!

If you urgently need a feature, please reach out to me.
If you are a designer and have an interface design in mind, let me know.

The backend UI is not the prettiest thing at the moment. But it’s very intuitive and does the job! The interface is set up as a series of tabs, each tab controls a slide. Click on the tab and you may upload an image. Click on the WP Swiper block and you can control slider overlay + color overlay.

Another note re: backend UI, the original idea was generate the functional slider within the editor. But theres an issue with conteneditable HTML elements. I lodged an issue on official swiper github repo for them to resolve. Leave a comment for them to prioritise the solution.

If you want to use the slide with text.
Select slide, add image, the image gonna appear as a background on the frontend.
If you want to use the slider for images, just add a regular image block.

Features:

  • Add image overlay for the whole slider + control opacity
  • Add color overlay for the whole slider + control opacity
  • Add image to the slider
  • Add content (text, headings, anything…) to the slider
  • Position content for each slider

More Features to be added:

  • Control height of the slider
  • Animations
  • Other features from the official swiper docs

After exhaustive research I found this awesome plugin that helped me build a row slider. I think it’s the only one available that will do this exact thing. I am so pleased. Thanks for this super useful plugin.

Just wanted to chime in and add to the positive reviews so far – great implementation of SwiperJS and so far this plugin does exactly what I needed…! Lightweight and clean setup and the straight-forward possibility to add nested blocks to each slides is what makes it stand out for me. Many thanks for sharing this & keep it up!

1.2.0

  • Enhanced Swiper Configuration: Swiper settings are now loaded through a single HTML element attribute (data-swiper), simplifying the previous method that relied on multiple data attributes.
  • Deprecation Warning: The legacy method of using multiple data-attributes will remain functional but is scheduled for deprecation in future releases. Please note that this legacy mode only works for manually updated data-attributes—updates made via Gutenberg will not affect these attributes. If you prefer to keep using the old method, do not upgrade to version 1.2.0 and continue using version 1.1.3, which is still available for download. You can also enable the old WP Swiper script (which will no longer receive updates) via Settings > WP Swiper.
  • Swiper Bundle Update: Upgraded Swiper to version v11.1.14 for improved performance and features.
  • New Settings Page: A dedicated WP Swiper Settings page is now available under Settings > WP Swiper for easy management and configuration.
  • Optimized Asset Loading: Swiper assets (JS and CSS) are now loaded only on pages that utilize Swiper, improving site performance. To revert to the previous behavior (loading Swiper assets on every page), you can adjust this in Settings > WP Swiper.
