How can I align the slider next to my text?
The backend aligning option was mainly made for the center aligning, and our slider container always has 100% width, even if the aligning here is left, or right. To align your slider next to your text, you need to do use your own code.
WordPress
<div style="float:left; width:30%; padding:5px;">[smartslider3 slider=1]</div> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
Joomla
<div style="float:left; width:30%; padding:5px;">smartslider3[1]</div> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...Don't forget to clear the float after the text, using this code:
<div style="clear: both"></div>
Put two sliders next to each other
You can use a code like this:
WordPress
<div style="float:left; width:50%; padding:5px;">[smartslider3 slider=1]</div>[smartslider3 slider=2] <div style="clear: both"></div>
Joomla
<div style="float:left; width:50%; padding:5px;">smartslider3[1]</div>smartslider3[2] <div style="clear: both"></div>
