How to use Black & White Filter for Soliloquy Slider Images
Would you like to style your slider images to appear black and white until you hover? With a little custom CSS and Envira you can easily achieve this! We’ll help you with the CSS you need to apply a black and white filter over your slider images with color on hover.
This tutorial is a little more technical as it requires basic knowledge of HTML and CSS.
Setup
Step 1 – Install and activate the CSS Addon
Your first step will be to install and activate the Soliloquy CSS Addon.

For this instance, we’ll be installing the CSS Addon.
Step 2 – Create or edit your slider
Next, create a new slider or edit an existing one. You can follow along with our documentation for creating your first slider.
Step 3 – The CSS
Below is the CSS we’ve used in our demo.
You’ll need to change this ID number to match your slider ID number. You can find this by looking in the sidebar of your slider edit screen.
For more information on how to find your slider ID number you can read this article.
[css]#soliloquy-container-508022 img {filter: grayscale(100%);
transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
}
#soliloquy-container-508022 img:hover {
filter: grayscale(0);
}[/css]
Be sure to update the -508022 with your own slider ID number
If you’d like to change this for all sliders, just add the CSS to the WordPress customizer.
Check out our demo of this in action!
Once you click Publish or Update on your slider, you’re all set!
