Nalvarez Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Site URL: http://studioalvarez.com.au Hi there, I'm wanting to add a text only slider to my home page. Is there an easy way to do this? I have only found how to add a gallery and a gallery slideshow but not a slider without images. Version 7.1 Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you 🙂 Edited June 25, 2020 by Nalvarez Link to comment
Susana_SQSP Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hi Nalvarez, While there isn't a built-in feature to setup a text slider, you may want to consider the following workarounds: a) Setting up your text as images on a third party service and then upload those images to a gallery section that you can set to be a slideshow. b) Split your text in between several posts in a Blog Page. You may want to add the text as the post title and/or excerpt and then use a Carousel Summary Block pulling content from the Blog Page. You'll be able to set the Summary Block to display the post excerpt if you would like. Nalvarez 1 Link to comment
Kate Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 You could set up a slider using this add-on https://www.squareaddons.com/shop-2/gallery-slider and just add in blank color block as your images, then add in your text content blocks as usual. Note, you cannot change the text from slide to slide. Just one set of content blocks can be set up to overlay the gallery slider. Nalvarez 1 If you are looking for a way to add Anchor Links, Gallery Blocks, or a Rotating Banner with Content Blocks overlaid in Squarespace 7.1, you can find all these plugins in our Squarespace add-on store here: www.Squareaddons.com -- Enjoy! Link to comment
Nalvarez Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Thanks so much ladies! I'll definitely give these options a go. Appreciate it. Ta! 🙂 Link to comment
Sandy24 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I am trying to achieve a text overlay on slider images, but I need for the text to change for each image. Basically what I need is what the Gallery Slider with content overlay does, but to be able to change the text. Is there any way to achieve this? I have attached an image of how one of the slides to look. I would also like for the text overlay to have a color background and the text to be white. Edited April 21, 2021 by Sandy24 Link to comment

Sandy24 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 No I have not solved it yet. I got someone to add the text as an overlay and change with each slide, but I need for each slide to move right to left like the train is pulling the image across the page. Right now the images just appear and then the next one comes in. Here is the link so you can see what I have now. https://www.adjcreations.com/ Link to comment
