How to add Before & After Slider to a XenForo community

Embed Before & After Slider on XenForo

01

Create a Before & After Slider plugin for XenForo on Common Ninja

First, create a XenForo Before & After Slider plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Before & After Slider and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Before & After Slider plugin

When you're done creating the Before & After Slider plugin, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Before & After Slider Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Before & After Slider plugin to your XenForo community, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your XenForo community.

04

Paste the code to your XenForo website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your XenForo community editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the XenForo’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Before & After Slider Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Before & After Slider plugin on your XenForo community.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Before & After Slider plugin on your XenForo plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your XenForo community’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Before & After Slider plugin to your XenForo community. You can do this by putting it straight into your XenForo community's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Before & After Slider widget when your value is best shown through transformation. It is ideal for design work, renovations, cosmetic results, editing, restoration, and any service where the difference between the starting point and final outcome matters. Visitors can drag the slider and see both states in the same frame, which is far more convincing than two separate images. This interaction keeps attention on your results and answers a common question: what does the change actually look like. By placing these sliders on portfolio pages, landing pages, or case studies, you give prospects a quick, visual proof of impact that words alone cannot provide.
