I’ve mentioned this on the Facebook group but that just disappears over time.

I’d really love to see these toolsets and workflows merged.

My current workflow is to build my sliders in patterns, and load them in to blank slides in the slider editor.

What ideally I’d like is if I could just use a query loop/carousel like tool combined with a custom post type called ‘Sliders’ with categories, so you just add advanced sliders, change it to ‘use sliders pages’ , select your aspect ratio, select a category, and boom, it just loads in all sliders which are active.

You can sort of get close to this using the carousel, if you set it to just images, but the problem is: I design my sliders to look good in both desktop and mobile, with customised text, layout and hover effects. All doable with Kadence blocks, but I just can’t get it to combine these two features together.

I’ve had some try to explain how I can use various code or functions to hack the system, but it’s a bit of a mind bender, and not friendly

I work as a team, in a shop, and have to implement these to be as friendly to non-coders as possible. I just want someone to be able to tick ‘enable’ on a slider page, and boom, it’s enabled and now shows, drag and drop the order for ‘front page sliders’ or have minisliders available lower down the page etc.

it’s frustratingly so close to what Kadence can already do it seems like such an obvious win for the team. i’d appreciate it if the devs could look at doing something like this.
