Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor”, “elementor addons” and “widgets” for “jewelry builder”, “hero slider” and “product slider”. “elementor” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “jewelry builder” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “elementor addons” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “hero slider” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “widgets” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “product slider” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 20K of 546.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Page Builders plugin keeps 2.4%, across 1,266 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Page Builders plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ shaooni2.7y ago
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.
