Wondering how to create a Wix full width slider?
In this Wix website tutorial, you'll learn how to add a slider to Wix, be it for a Wix
image gallery or for Wix scrolling text.
So let's get right into this Wix how to video on creating a Wix slider so that you can easily
do web development and web design as a beginner, even with a free website.
First off, if you don't have a Wix account yet, just click on the link in the description
box below to sign up for free.
Once you've logged in to your Wix account, locate the website you wish to create a Wix
full width slider on, hover your mouse over it, and then click on the pencil icon to access
the Wix editor.
Click on the pages dropdown menu on the top, left-hand side, and select the page you wish
to add a Wix slider to.
If you wish to add a slider to Wix to a new page on your Wix website, rather than on an
existing page, make sure to watch my video on 'How To Make Separate Pages In Your Wix
Website'.
I'll leave the link to it in the description box below.
Once on the page that you wish to create a Wix full width slider on, click on 'add' from
the left-hand side panel, and then on 'interactive'.
You can add Wix sliders to your website using full width slideshows that span the width
of your page or using box slideshows that are classic, boxed-sized slideshows.
Since our aim is to create a Wix full width slider, select one of these full width slideshow
options, such as the intro (about me) one, and drag-and-drop it onto your page.
Just like with any feature on your Wix website, you can click on any element within the Wix
slider, such as the text and button, and edit it from its individual toolbar.
You can also click on 'add' from the left-hand side panel, to add any new element of your
choice to your Wix full width slider.
To make changes to your Wix slider at large, click on the Wix slider to access its individual
toolbar.
When you click on 'manage slides', you'll be able to click on slide 1, slide 2 and slide
3 to view and customize what they look like by adding or deleting elements, click on the
three little dots next to a slide from the same manage slides popup to rename a slide,
duplicate it or delete it, click and drag on the multiple dots on the left-hand side
of a slide to reorder it, and duplicate a slide or add a new slide from the options
at the bottom.
Once you're done managing your Wix slider slides, x out of the manage slides popup.
Going back to the Wix slides individual toolbar, you can click on 'change slide background',
and then on 'settings' to style your Wix slider background, including the image opacity and
color.
If you click on 'back' on the top, left-hand side, you can change your Wix slider background
to a color, and select a color from the color picker popup that appears, to an image, either
that you uploaded to your Wix account, or from Media from Wix, Shutterstock or Unsplash,
or even to a video, either that you uploaded to your Wix account, or from Media from Wix
or Shutterstock.
You can also scroll through Wix's selected Wix slider backgrounds to explore their stunning
image and video backgrounds.
If you wish to apply the changes you made to all of your Wix slider slides, make sure
to click on 'apply to other slides at the bottom'.
Once you're done making changes to your Wix slider background, x out of the Wix slider
background popup.
When you click on 'settings' from the Wix slider individual toolbar, you can click to
manage slides, which shows you the same options we covered before, select whether the slideshow
autoplays on loading or not, how long between slides (in seconds), and whether the Wix slider
should stop autoplay on hover or not, select whether transition effects should be applied
or not (including vertical, horizontal, cross fade or in and out), and how long they last,
as well as choose whether contents outside the frame should be hidden or not.
Under 'layout' from the Wix slider individual toolbar, you can select whether you wish to
show navigation arrows or not, and select these arrow's size and offset, in addition
to select whether you wish to show slide buttons or not, and select these button's size and
offset.
When you click on 'design' from the Wix slider individual toolbar, you can select what the
Wix slider should look like, and choose the fill color and opacity of the slide buttons
and navigation arrows.
Lastly, under 'help' from the Wix slider individual toolbar, you can learn more about what you
can do with your full-width slideshow.
This includes adding elements to a slide, changing the background of a slide, adding
navigation buttons, changing the autoplay settings and transition effects, as well as
adding, duplicating and reordering your slides, all of which we covered in this Wix slider
video.
If you wish to modify the location of your Wix slider, place your cursor over the drag
handle to move your Wix slider up or down, together with the content beneath it.
If you click on the plus icon on the top center or bottom center of the Wix slider, you'll
be able to add a Wix strip to your page, either directly above or directly below the Wix full
width slider you just added.
To learn more about Wix strips, make sure to watch my previous video on 'How To Use
Strips In Wix'.
I'll leave the link to it in the description box below.
You can use the stretch handle that appears at the bottom of the Wix slider to lengthen
or shorten the slider while maintaining the design of your page.
Once you're happy with the Wix slider you added to your Wix website, make sure to click
on 'save' and then on 'publish' on the top, right-hand side to make your changes active
and successfully create a Wix full width slider.
