Features
- Use simple shortcodes to add a slider to a page.
- Create multiple slider groups.
- Supports one slider per page.
- The first slide loads when the page loads and the rest are pulled in via AJAX, speeding up initial page load.
- Uses a custom post type for the slides making it easy for you, or customers, to add new slides and groups.
- Uses the featured image of the slide's post.
- You create the slide order.
- Change slide speed, fadeIn/fadeOut durations, remove base styles, and even remove next/previous arrows and slide button icons
Plugin depends upon your theme's style and does not contain native styles.
