LayerSlider 6.5.1
This quick update fixes a PHP error that might caused HTTP 500 Internal Server Error in some cases with older versions of PHP.
LayerSlider 6.5.0
Introducing our new premium feature: Popups – a completely new way of using LayerSlider. It greatly extends its capabilities and what you can build with the plugin. Combining our strong foundation and the vast number of features we already have with the newly introduced Popup feature makes LayerSlider one of the best choice among popup plugins.

ADDITIONAL NEW FEATURES:
IMPROVEMENTS
- Added new skin: Photo Gallery
- Added "Change URL hash" advanced option to Slider Settings -> Slideshow. Enable it to update the URL hash as you navigate in the slider based on slide deeplinks. This makes it possible to share URLs that will start the slider with the currently visible slide at any given moment.
- Added "Prefer Blend Mode" advanced option to Slider Settings -> Misc. Enable this option to avoid blend mode issues with slide transitions. Due to technical limitations, this will also clip your slide transitions regardless of your settings.
BUG FIXES
- Thanks to conseillerphytoaroma, the French localization has been updated to cover areas that weren't translated before.
- Greatly enhanced the Global Hover feature introduced in the previous release.
- The admin UI now uses deeplinking to always open at the same location when you refresh the page.
- Fixed overflowing issue and improved multiple selection in the new WP text editor "Add LayerSlider" plugin.
NEW FEATURES
IMPROVEMENTS
- Bonjour! Thanks to conseillerphytoaroma, LayerSlider is now fully translated into French.
- Sziasztok! We've also added an experimental Hungarian localization in this release.
- Psst! More languages are on their way! Internationalization in LayerSlider underwent a major overhaul to provide high quality localizations and make translators' life much easier.
- The English locale has also been updated. Instead of using typewriter characters, we now have nicely formatted punctuation with curly quotes and apostrophes.
- Added new Google Fonts script subsets: Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew, Kannada, Malayalam, Myanmar, Oriya, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu and Thai. Welcome, newcomers!
- In cooperation with WPBakery, this update introduce changes to improve compatibility & integration with future versions of Visual Composer. Developers should check our updated Filters reference in the Developer documentation.
- Added "Important Notice" feature. In cases of important and urgent matters, we can now display a small banner on the admin dashboard to notify everyone. These might be security issues or other justifiable cases. Hopefully, you will never see any of them.
- Entirely new WordPress text editor plugin to insert sliders into your posts and pages. Besides its drastically improved user interface, it also supports keyboard shortcuts, multiple selections and embed options.
- Added a new premium feature: Global Hover. Create spectacular effects by triggering the Hover Transitions of all layers at once when you hover over the slider with your mouse cursor. A simple example demonstrating this can be found here.
- Added "Start immediately" option to the Play by Scroll feature. Now it's possible to automatically start playback and only pause sliders at the first keyframe instead of waiting users to scroll down.
- Added option to override the starting slide of sliders in the shortcode and widget settings.
- Added letter spacing option to layer styles so you can change the character density in a line or block of text.
BUG FIXES
- Enabled word wrapping in CodeMirror code editors.
- The System Status now has better recommendations with providing the ideal values of each setting.
- While LayerSlider continues to require PHP 5.3.0 or newer, on the global scope it no longer uses language features that is not available in PHP 5.2.4. This ensures better overall compatibility with WordPress on pages where LayerSlider is not being actively used.
- Updated documentation to fix page jumping issues when deeplinking.
- Implemented a potential fix for CloudFlare's Rocket Loader issues.
- Fixed the image chooser button when using the "Insert image from URL" option.

- Fixed certain issues with the Outline, Numbers and Rounded Flat skins.
- Fixed Blend mode with the Origami transition.
- Fixed alt attributes on the slide thumbnail images.
- Fixed an issue with the sliderDidRemove event.
- Fixed a rare issue with the opacity option of the Hover Transition.
- Countless other bug fixes and improvements throughout the plugin.

This feature serves not just as a backup solution, but a complete version control system where you can visually compare the changes you have made along the way.
