Description
What This Add-On Does
Slider Revolution Glow Cards Addon gives you glowing, light-reactive card layouts inside Slider Revolution. You build the cards in the slide editor, switch on the glow, and the effect responds as visitors move across the slide. No stylesheet edits, no snippets pasted into a theme.
Cards are a common pattern in sliders: a feature, a team member, a service, a product teaser. On a dark or image-heavy slide they can look flat. A soft, animated glow around the card edges gives them depth and pulls the eye to the content that matters.
Key Features
- Glow effects built in the slide editor. You work in the same interface you already use for layers, so there is nothing new to learn about where things live.
- Light-reactive cards. The glow follows interaction instead of sitting there as a static shadow, which makes a slide feel more alive.
- Card layouts for your layers. Group text, images, and buttons into a card and apply the effect to the whole block.
- No custom CSS or code. Everything is configured through options, so a designer or a site owner can adjust it without touching files.
- Works with your existing slides. Add glow cards to a slider you have already built rather than starting over.
Where Glow Cards Fit Best
Dark backgrounds show the effect off most clearly. Think of a hero slider with three service cards sitting over a gradient, or a portfolio slide with a project card that lights up under the cursor. Pricing teasers, feature rundowns, and testimonial slides also suit the look.
Use it with some restraint. One glowing group per slide reads as a deliberate design choice. Ten of them compete with each other and with your headline.
What It Works With
This is an add-on, so it needs the main Slider Revolution plugin installed on your WordPress site. It extends the slide editor and does not replace or duplicate any part of the slider itself. Your sliders, layers, and animations stay as they are, and the glow card options appear alongside them.
FAQ
Can I use Slider Revolution Glow Cards Addon without Slider Revolution?
No. It extends Slider Revolution and has nothing to attach to on its own. You need the main slider plugin active first.
Do I have to write CSS to get the glow effect?
No. The glow is set up in the slide editor with the card layers you already create. CSS is optional if you want to go beyond the built-in options, but you do not need it for the standard result.
Can I add glow cards to a slider I have already built?
Yes. Open the slide, create or select the layers you want in a card, and apply the glow. Your existing content and animations stay in place.
Is it GPL licensed?
Yes. Slider Revolution Glow Cards Addon is released under the GPL, so you can use it on your own sites and modify it within the terms of that license.
