Inspiro – Configuring the Homepage Slideshow

This article refers to Inspiro Premium

Once you’ve created a few slideshow posts, it’s time to display them on your homepage. Inspiro gives you two flexible ways to do this—either by using a page template that displays the slideshow automatically at the top or by adding the slideshow via the Elementor widget.

No matter which method you use, slideshow posts will be pulled automatically and displayed in the slider, complete with any videos, titles, or content you’ve added.

Note: If you add the Slideshow with the Elementor widget and assign a homepage-specific template to your homepage, this will lead to the display of two identical slideshows on the homepage. In this case, you should either remove the Inspiro Slideshow widget from the page or change the page template.

Here’s how to configure the homepage slideshow, depending on the method you chose:

If your homepage uses the Homepage (With Slideshow) page template:

  • The slider is added automatically and displays the posts from the Slideshow section in the dashboard
  • Configure it in Appearance → Customize → Homepage Slideshow

Customizer Options:

Media & Content: redirects to slideshow post creation

General Settings: show/hide slideshow, autoplay, number of posts, show/hide: title, content, navigation arrows, scroll-to-content arrow

Look & Feel: alignment, slider height, overlay, transition effect

Mobile Options: enable/disable video background on mobile

Want full control over where the slideshow appears? You can insert it anywhere on your page using the Inspiro Slideshow widget in Elementor.

How to Use It:

  1. Edit any page with Elementor
  2. Drag the Inspiro Slideshow widget into a section
  3. The widget will automatically pull in your slideshow posts
  4. Use the widget settings panel to customize:
  • Number of slides
  • Autoplay options
  • Layout and spacing
  • Enable or disable lightbox

This is perfect if you’re building custom landing pages or want to display different slideshows in different places.

In both methods, the slider will display all Slideshow posts by default unless filtered by category.
