Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Vertical Image Slider – Responsive Thumbnail Slider with Lightbox

After activating, go to Vertical Thumbnail Slider in the admin menu, add your images, configure the slider, then add it to a page or post with the Gutenberg block or the shortcode. See the Installation section above for full steps.

Modern is a lightweight, dependency-free engine with a built-in lightbox and seamless circular looping. Legacy is the original jQuery-based engine, kept for full backward compatibility with existing sites. Existing installs are automatically kept on Legacy after an update — nothing changes unless you switch to Modern yourself.

The free version supports a single slider. For unlimited sliders, see Vertical Thumbnail Slider Pro.

Ticker/continuous scroll mode is a Pro feature, available on both the Modern and Legacy engines.

Yes — the free version includes a settings-summary block that links to your slider settings; the Pro version's block lets you edit full settings and manage images from the Media Library directly in the block sidebar.

The Modern engine is dependency-free (no jQuery required) and only loads its assets on pages that actually use the slider.
