Hell Mike,
Whenever you create a slider, there are two “types” you can choose from. — standard and carousel. Check out the video series in your documentation on how sliders work. It’s fairly straight forward.
For the simple slider, simple standard slider and standard slider what is the differnce between them?
These are all the “standard” slider type. They are just sliders I constructed with the theme’s Slider Manager on the demo and what I chose to name them. There isn’t any difference between them other than how I configured the different slides within as examples.
You can create a slider and configure the slides within however you want. Again, take a few minutes and watch that video series in your documentation. It’ll show you all of this works in regards to sliders.
