    Installed Crelly Slider, but it significantly slowed down my WP Admin Dashboard to a crawl. This topic was modified 1 year, 12 months ago by Anonymous User. This topic was modified 1 year, 12 months ago by Anonymous User. This topic was modified 1 year, 12 months ago by Anonymous User.

    I installed it in WP 6.0.3 and it doesn’t work, it can’t be seen, although I see that it is in the code.

    It does exactly what other plugins fail to do: animated sliders, with a clear back end and acceptable learning curve not overflowed by mostly unuseful functionalities and upsell tentatives.

    I can say better than many premium plugins. We couldn’t fix a conflict issue with the theme I am using (Astra Pro) but I still keep using it and can recommend it.

    I used it for one of my customer website which result in giving premium quality lightweight layer slider. I request to keep it free or opensource. I have not faced any issue. Simple interface.
