Soliloquy Thumbnails Addon is a specialized extension that allows you to add thumbnail images as navigation for your WordPress slider. This addon enables users to interact with your sliders on a thumbnail level by generating a copy of your slider and creating navigation points from it. It is designed to work exclusively with the Soliloquy Responsive Slider.
WPExclusive members get access to Thumbnails Addon as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full Soliloquy collection →
What Is Soliloquy Thumbnails Addon?
Soliloquy Thumbnails Addon is developed by Soliloquy and is a gallery plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the gallery category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional image presentation and asset management.
The plugin solves the problem of difficult navigation in long sliders by providing a visual strip of images for direct selection. It is intended for photographers, portfolio owners, and e-commerce stores wanting to provide a better user experience for their galleries.
Soliloquy Thumbnails Addon Features
The feature set is built around providing responsive and highly configurable thumbnail navigation that adapts to any screen size.
Responsive Navigation Control
Thumbnails Addon creates responsive thumbnail navigation that functions identically to the parent slider on all devices. Users can interact with the slider directly through the generated thumbnails, making it easier to skip between specific slides. This functionality is particularly useful for gallery based layouts where users need a visual overview of all available content at once.
Advanced Layout Configuration
The plugin provides several configuration options to tailor the thumbnails to your site design. You can determine where to position the navigation, choosing either above or below the main slider area. It also allows developers to set specific width parameters and the minimum or maximum number of thumbnails that should be displayed simultaneously.
Integration and Compatibility
Thumbnails Addon supports all other official Soliloquy extensions, ensuring consistent behavior across complex slider setups. It generates a copy of your existing slider assets to create the navigation, reducing the need for manual image processing. This allows for a smooth workflow when combining multiple features like lightboxes or dynamic feeds.
