Responsive image slider with customizable layout, arrows, autoplay, and media library integration.

== Description ==

**FTMPUB Media Slider** lets you create responsive image sliders from your WordPress media library with an easy-to-use interface.

The plugin registers a custom taxonomy to group images into sliders and provides a shortcode `[ftmpub_media_slider]` for displaying them anywhere — classic editor, block editor, Elementor, etc. Each slider uses native horizontal scrolling with snap: configure columns, rows, and image height per device (desktop, tablet, mobile), plus autoplay, arrows, dots, lazy loading, width, and gap. Images are selected through the media picker and can be reordered via drag and drop. A live preview is available in the admin.

2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
3. Go to **Media → FTMPUB Media Sliders** and create a new slider: select images and configure the options.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I add multiple sliders? =
Create multiple terms in the "FTMPUB Media Sliders" taxonomy. Each term can have its own images and settings. Use the `group` (slug) or `id` attribute in the shortcode to display a particular slider.

= Can I set custom sizes? =
Yes. The "Max width" and per-device "Image height" fields allow you to set the dimensions of the slider and its images (e.g., `800px`, `90%`, `240px`). Leave them empty or set `auto` to keep the natural height.

= Is it compatible with page builders? =
Yes. The shortcode works with the classic editor, block editor, Elementor, and any builder that supports shortcodes.
