The Slideshow block renders a CSS slider of nested Slide blocks, typically used as a rotating banner at the top of a page. Each slide shows an image or video with optional overlay and layered content built from theme or app blocks.
Autoplay, infinite loop, and the previous/next navigation activate only when the slideshow has more than one slide. With a single slide, the slideshow is static, the navigation is hidden, and the previous button starts disabled.

FAQ
What is the Slideshow block in the Pops theme?
What media heights can I set for the Pops slideshow?
Media height sets the slideshow height in pixels: Auto (400/400 px), Small (300/450 px), Medium (400/550 px), or Large (500/650 px) on mobile/desktop. The default is Auto.
Can a Pops slide use a video instead of an image?
Yes. Set the Media type to Video and choose a video for desktop and mobile. Videos autoplay muted and loop. When the mobile video is blank, the desktop video is reused for mobile.
