# FDA Starter Lite - Native Slider Guide

Version 1.1.0 removes the plugin dependency for the main slider.

The slider is now built with native Gutenberg blocks:

- Group block: slider wrapper
- Group block: slide track
- Cover blocks: individual slides
- Buttons, Heading and Paragraph blocks inside each slide

## Add the slider to any page

1. Open the page in Gutenberg.
2. Click `+`.
3. Open `Patterns`.
4. Choose `FDA Starter Lite`.
5. Insert `Native hero slider (easy edit)`.

## Edit a slide

Click directly inside the slide and edit:

- eyebrow text
- heading
- paragraph
- buttons
- button links
- background image from the native Cover block settings

## Add a slide

Select one slide Cover block and duplicate it.

In the editor all slides are shown stacked one below the other, so the user can edit them easily. On the public site the theme turns them into a real slider automatically.

## Change slide colors

Select a slide Cover block, then open the block sidebar:

`Block > Styles`

Choose:

- FDA Slide Dark
- FDA Slide Lime
- FDA Slide Sky
- FDA Slide Light
- FDA Slide Center

No CSS class needs to be typed manually.

## Remove the slider from the homepage

The homepage is not hard-coded anymore. It shows only the content of the selected WordPress page.

Go to:

`Pages > Home > Edit`

Click the slider block and delete it.

If an old fixed slider still appears after updating from an older version, reset the customized template:

`Appearance > Editor > Templates > Front Page > three dots > Clear customizations`

Then edit the Home page content normally.
