Admin Settings Reference

Access: SyteSlyders menu in WordPress admin. Requires a valid license to see all tabs.

9 Admin Tabs​

1. Schedules/Sales​

Create and manage sales schedules. Assign products/variations, set sale prices, choose date windows. Saving syncs prices with your ecommerce platform and can link banners. Enable/disable in Settings.

2. Slyders​

Manage featured products: toggle featured status, set hero media, configure per-product hero text overrides, drag-and-drop hero ordering, supplemental slides, and fallback slide configuration. Features staged remove with Save Changes safety.

  • Set Defaults button opens a modal for managing all hero text defaults: master enabled/text/fade, random lines, per-view overrides (Desktop/Tablet/Mobile) with mode, text override, and margin controls per field. "Save Defaults" persists hero text master and per-view override options. "Apply to Current" pushes resolved defaults to all existing slides server-side. "Reset to Defaults" restores baseline values. (Glow settings remain on the Settings tab.)

3. Banners​

Configure promotional banners with date-based scheduling. Can be linked to sales schedules. Enable/disable in Settings.

4. Custom Slyders​

Build standalone sliders with media, CTA, text areas, interval, and animation. Copy shortcode and CSS classes.

In addition to license and theme settings, Plugin Setup includes:

  • Slider Engine — Select the slider library (FlexSlider, Swiper, or Splide). See Slider Engines.
  • Engine Settings — Collapsible panels for per-engine configuration (smooth height, easing, pagination style, direction, etc.).

5. Settings​

  • Shortcode defaults per view (Desktop/Tablet/Mobile): height, min-height, glow

6. Integrations​

Common Controls Across All Tabs​

A collapsible Troubleshooting dropdown appears on every tab and contains:

  • Purge Admin CSS/JS — clears cached admin stylesheets and scripts
  • Clear Plugin Update Cache — forces a fresh check for plugin updates
  • Refresh WooCommerce & Page Inventory Cache — rebuilds the product and page search caches
  • Purge Rotation Cache — removes the current rotation cache so slides are reassembled on the next page load

Each form saves and returns you to the same tab.
