Is revolution Slider still the thing to use?

[lypa]

Hi there

We are using Revolution Slider for the hero image section on our homepage (kinda old version of X built with shortcodes not Cornerstone). Now we would like to add a few more slides and use it as “real” slider element. Is Revolution Slider still the best option to go for sliders with X if one does not use Cornerstone?

Kind Regards,
lypa

Hello Lypa,

Thanks for writing in! Yes, you can still use the Revolution Slider. If you have built your page with the Cornerstone Content Builder or planning to update the page using the builder, we highly recommend that you use the new Slider element so that you can disable the plugin and lessen the file size of your page. Check out the documentation here:

• https://theme.co/docs/sliders

If what you are planning to achieve can only be done with the Revolution Slider, then you can also use the Classic Revolution Slider element when using the Cornerstone Content Builder.

Best Regards.

Hello Ruenel,

Thank you for helping. I have not used Cornerstone yet. Everything is built with shortcodes in classic “text” mode with shortcodes and sometimes html, pls see screenshot attached:

If I activate Cornerstone for this one page on our website do I have to use it on all other pages, too? Or is it possible to use Cornerstone for some pages and leave the other ones in classic text mode?

Best Regards,
lypa

Hi lypa,

Thanks for reaching out.
You can use the Cornerstone for the pages you want and rest you can use the Classic Editor as previous.

Thanks
