Smooth Slider – Multiple Sliders Usage

Smooth Slider 2.2 has a new feature so that you can create multiple sliders and selectively include a necessary slider on the required page or post.

How To Create Multiple Sliders

On the Smooth Slider settings panel, at the near bottom there is a new option added ‘Enable Multiple Slider Function on Edit Post/Page’ checkbox. Tick this checkbox if you want the ‘Multiple’ slider feature enabled for your blog/website.

After you save changes, at the very bottom you can now see the ‘Create Slider’ tab.

Enter the new ‘Slider name’ and click Create New.  The new slider would be successfully created and you can see a separate tab for that slider at the bottom of the settings panel.

You can create ‘n’ number of sliders and delete them at any time.
