Have questions about Responsive Nivo Slider?
Frequently asked questions
Responsive Nivo Slider 2.0 supports Joomla 4, 5, and 6 with Web Asset Manager assets and PHP 8.1 or later recommended.
It shows a responsive image slideshow with captions, optional links, fade/slide/fold/zoom transitions, and dot or thumbnail pagination.
No. Version 2.0 uses vanilla JavaScript and custom CSS. The old jQuery Nivo files are removed from the package.
Fade, Slide, Fold, Zoom, and Random. Legacy Nivo names such as sliceDown or boxRain still map to Fold or Zoom so existing modules keep working.
Yes. Set Source to From Folder and enter a relative path such as images/gallery/. Supported extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp.
Yes. Slide rows, folder path, pagination, and motion settings use the same parameter names.
Enable Pagination, set Pagination Type to Thumbnails, and use at least two slides. Thumbnail images use the same slide image source.
Setting Slideshow Height to auto uses a responsive aspect ratio instead of a fixed pixel height, which works well on fluid layouts. On phones, fixed heights are also capped to a 16:9 band so the stage does not dominate the screen.
Pause On Hover stops while the pointer or focus is on the slider. Reduced-motion browser preferences also disable autoplay.
