Elementor slider not transitioning

If you’re experiencing an issue where the Elementor slider is not transitioning between slides, there are a few possible causes. One common reason is that the slider’s JavaScript files are not being loaded properly. To fix this, you can enqueue the necessary scripts using WordPress functions.

Here’s an example of how you can enqueue the required scripts for the Elementor slider:

function wpsnippets_enqueue_elementor_slider_scripts() {
    // Enqueue Elementor slider scripts
    wp_enqueue_script( 'elementor-slider', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/elementor-slider.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0', true );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpsnippets_enqueue_elementor_slider_scripts' );

In the code snippet above, we define a custom function wpsnippets_enqueue_elementor_slider_scripts() that uses the wp_enqueue_script() function to enqueue the Elementor slider script. The script file is located in the /js/ directory of your theme, but you can adjust the file path as needed.

Make sure to replace 'elementor-slider' with a unique handle for the script. The handle is used to identify the script and should be unique to avoid conflicts with other scripts.

The array( 'jquery' ) parameter ensures that the script is loaded after jQuery, which is required for the Elementor slider to work properly.

The '1.0' parameter represents the version number of the script. You can update this value if a newer version of the script becomes available.

The true parameter at the end of the wp_enqueue_script() function call indicates that the script should be loaded in the footer of the page. This is generally recommended for performance reasons, but you can set it to false if necessary.

By enqueuing the Elementor slider script using the wp_enqueue_script() function, you ensure that the script is loaded properly and that the slider transitions between slides as expected.

Examples

Example #1: Disable Slider Transition in Elementor

This example demonstrates how to disable the transition effect in an Elementor slider. By default, Elementor sliders have a transition effect that animates the slide change. However, in some cases, you may want to disable this transition effect.

add_action( 'elementor/frontend/after_enqueue_scripts', 'wpsnippets_disable_slider_transition' );

function wpsnippets_disable_slider_transition() {
    wp_add_inline_script( 'elementor-frontend', 'jQuery( window ).on( "elementor/frontend/init", function() { 
        elementorFrontend.hooks.addAction( "frontend/element_ready/widget", function( $scope ) {
            $scope.find( ".elementor-slides" ).each( function() {
                $( this ).data( "swiper" ).params.effect = "slide";
            });
        });
    });' );
}

This code adds an inline script to the Elementor frontend scripts. The script targets the slider element and changes its transition effect to “slide”, effectively disabling any other transition effects.

Example #2: Change Slider Transition Speed in Elementor

This example demonstrates how to change the transition speed of an Elementor slider. By default, Elementor sliders have a predefined transition speed. However, you may want to customize this speed to match your design requirements.

add_action( 'elementor/frontend/after_enqueue_scripts', 'wpsnippets_change_slider_transition_speed' );

function wpsnippets_change_slider_transition_speed() {
    wp_add_inline_script( 'elementor-frontend', 'jQuery( window ).on( "elementor/frontend/init", function() { 
        elementorFrontend.hooks.addAction( "frontend/element_ready/widget", function( $scope ) {
            $scope.find( ".elementor-slides" ).each( function() {
                $( this ).data( "swiper" ).params.speed = 1000; // Change the transition speed in milliseconds
            });
        });
    });' );
}

This code adds an inline script to the Elementor frontend scripts. The script targets the slider element and changes its transition speed to 1000 milliseconds (1 second). You can modify the value to adjust the speed according to your needs.

Example #3: Add Custom Slider Transition Effect in Elementor

This example demonstrates how to add a custom transition effect to an Elementor slider. By default, Elementor provides a set of predefined transition effects. However, you may want to create a unique transition effect that is not available in the default options.

add_action( 'elementor/frontend/after_enqueue_scripts', 'wpsnippets_add_custom_slider_transition' );

function wpsnippets_add_custom_slider_transition() {
    wp_add_inline_script( 'elementor-frontend', 'jQuery( window ).on( "elementor/frontend/init", function() { 
        elementorFrontend.hooks.addAction( "frontend/element_ready/widget", function( $scope ) {
            $scope.find( ".elementor-slides" ).each( function() {
                $( this ).data( "swiper" ).params.effect = "fade"; // Replace "fade" with your custom transition effect
            });
        });
    });' );
}

This code adds an inline script to the Elementor frontend scripts. The script targets the slider element and changes its transition effect to “fade”. You can replace “fade” with your own custom transition effect, such as “flip”, “zoom”, or any other CSS-based animation effect.
