Description
Control the Stacking Order of Every Slider Layer
In a Slider Revolution slide, layers pile on top of one another: a headline over a photo, a cut-out product over a background panel, a decorative shape behind a button. When the order is wrong, the wrong element ends up covering the right one, and the slide looks flat or broken. Slider Revolution Layer Depth Addon gives you direct control over where each layer sits in that stack.
You decide which elements stay in front and which fall behind. Foreground and background items overlap in the sequence you intend, which is what gives a slide its layered, dimensional look. The add-on does one job and keeps its scope narrow, so it fits into an existing slider workflow without changing how you build slides.
Key Features
- Per-layer depth control: set how each layer sits in the stack instead of relying on the order in which layers were created.
- Controlled overlap: place a headline over an image, or slip a graphic behind a text block, and have the result stay predictable.
- Dimensional slide composition: separate foreground subjects from backdrops so a slide reads as a scene rather than a flat collage.
- Works inside the slider editor: depth is handled where you already arrange your layers.
- Open and adaptable: the add-on is GPL-licensed, so site owners and developers can modify and extend it to suit their own projects.
Where It Fits in Your Slides
Depth ordering matters most in compositions where layers share the same space. A few typical cases:
- A hero slide with a large background image, a semi-transparent overlay, and text that must sit above both.
- A product showcase where a cut-out image overlaps a coloured shape behind it.
- Decorative elements, such as lines, badges or icons, that should tuck behind a main subject without being deleted or repositioned.
What It Works With
Slider Revolution Layer Depth Addon extends Slider Revolution, the slider plugin for WordPress. It is an add-on, so it needs the main Slider Revolution plugin installed and active. It does not replace the slider and does not add a separate slider engine to your site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Slider Revolution Layer Depth Addon work without Slider Revolution?
No. It is an extension built for Slider Revolution layers, so the main slider plugin has to be present. The add-on adds depth control to that plugin and has nothing to act on without it.
What problem does it solve compared with just reordering layers?
Reordering works for simple slides, but it gets awkward when many layers overlap. The add-on lets you set how each layer sits in the stack, so foreground and background elements overlap in a controlled order and you can adjust one layer without disturbing the rest.
Can I modify the add-on for my own projects?
Yes. It is released under the GPL, which means you can study the code, change it, and extend it for your own sites. Any redistribution of your modified version should follow the same license terms.
