Please note that the slide_background_color is also the colour of the hover effect as can be seen in the carousel below.
Thanks for your plugin.
It is simple, lite and effective.
Hi Sergio
Thanks for your comment.
how to submit more than 15 elements on the carousal is there a setting to set the no of total item on the page
If you are using the PAJ Featured Image Owl Carousel as a shortcode then at the moment there is no way to increase the number of elements. I may be adding this feature in the future.
However, if you are using the plugin as a SiteOrigin widget then you can increase the number of elements by entering a value in the ‘Posts Per Page’ setting of the widget.
can we add FancyBox this plgin
I have been thinking of adding something like FancyBox to this plugin but it will not be for some months.
