Frequently Asked Questions

Does SyntekPro Slider slow down my site?

No. Scripts and stylesheets are only loaded on pages that actually use a slider. Asset optimisation can be further enabled in Settings → Optimise Assets.

Can I use it with any theme?

Yes. SyntekPro Slider is theme-agnostic and works with any properly-coded WordPress theme.

Does it support responsive design?

Yes. Each slider has three independent layout modes — Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile — so you have full control over how it looks on every screen size.

Can I use videos as slide backgrounds?

Yes. You can embed YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted MP4 videos as slide backgrounds via the Layer panel.

Is there a REST API?

Yes. A full REST API is available under /wp-json/syntekpro-slider/v1/. Endpoints are secured with WP nonces.

Where can I find developer documentation?

Visit the About → Developer API tab inside the plugin, or go to plugins.syntekpro.com/slider.
