    Hi,

    I have a few questions regarding photonic’s features. I have not started using the plugin, but am trying to understand if it is suitable for what I need.

    1. Am I able to include multiple separate instances of photonic in a single page? I am using wordpress galleries now and can have up to 5 small galleries in a single page.

    2. What display options does photonic provide? Is there a slideshow with pagination?

    Thank you

    Yes, you can include multiple separate instances in a single page. Almost all the demo pages have multiple galleries.

    I didn’t follow your second question. What is an example of a slideshow with pagination?

    Hi Sayontan,

    Thanks for your quick reply. I was fairly sure that it’s possible to have multiple instances, but wanted to clarify.

    By a slideshow I mean similar to a slider with fade/slide effects. I need the slider to make it clear that it is more than just a single image, so there needs to be some sort of a dot/number/bullet below the slider that shows how many images are included in the particular slideshow. It’s something similar to this from the Meta Slider plugin:

    Yes, you can. See the demo here: https://aquoid.com/news/plugins/photonic/wp-galleries/.

    But in all fairness, if you are just looking for a simple slider, a lighter plugin might be a wiser option. Photonic’s strength is lightbox integration with galleries, specifically for third-party providers, and using it for a simple slider is like buying a Ferrari to drive to the convenience store at the corner of the block – it will still get the job done, but you don’t need that much firepower.

    Thanks Sayontan for the demo link. This is what I am looking for.

    I have looked for a simpler slider. I have been surprised that many sliders do not provide multiple slideshows per page and a non-centralized slider configuration. Either case I will take another look for a simple slider and if I don’t find anything suitable then will use Photonic.

    Thank you for your help.
