With hash navigation every slide gets its own address, such as /tours/#beach. Share that link and the page opens with the slider on that slide. Links on the same page can jump to a slide too.
Turn it on
Select the slider and open the Advanced panel at the bottom of its settings. Turn on Link to each slide; it is off by default. From now on the address bar changes while the slides change: #slide-1, #slide-2 and so on.
Name the addresses
Numbers work, but names are easier to share and survive reordering the slides. Both are in the free plugin:
- Link prefix, in the slider’s Advanced panel, replaces
slide: with the prefixtourthe addresses become#tour-1,#tour-2. - Slide link name, in a slide’s Advanced panel, gives that slide its own address, for example
beachorflamingo. Slides without a name stay numbered.
Jump to a slide from a link
Any link to the address works: a button with the URL #beach, a menu item, a link in another post (/tours/#beach). Try it on the examples page.
Tips
- Use it on one slider per page; two sliders would compete for the address bar.
- Hash names must be unique on the page and should not clash with heading anchors.
