No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

    I was looking for a convenient plugin for creating slides through the Elementor interface. I’ve tried several. I stopped at HT Slider For Elementor. A convenient and understandable interface. There was one problem – when the page was first launched, the slides did not appear correctly. I contacted support. Technical support specialists promptly looked at the problem and updated the plugin on the same day. Now the plugin works as it should. I will note that I use the free version. In general, I recommend HT Slider For Elementor for its convenience and prompt user support.

    The plugin is incompatible with other plugins (such as Elementor Pro) and ‘breaks’ the site. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by reinaldomfi.

    I used this plugin It is the best slider plugin. The HT Slider team responded within just 10 minutes of me creating a support ticket. Thank you, Has Theme team, for the quick support!

    This plug-in does not work properly. When “importing” templates, my elementor page is empty. The templates does not appear, and I’m not able to edit anything. When going to the widgets panel in Elementor (I use the free version) and search for “HT Slider”, I get 3 different options. The “HT Slider” does not work. The “HT: Advanced Slider” does work better, but I cant put in background images. The last option “HT: Post Slider” does not work either

    Simple, easy to use, not bulky. It does what it is supposed to do. Maybe some slide animations? That would be killer.
