Wp anything slider

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 91% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   The developer has been aware of a vulnerability for months at the time of this review and has made no effort in updating the plugin. Removed it from all the websites I had it installed on, will replace with a plugin that’s supported.

   It was just what I was looking for. I *wish* there were navigation arrows! It was really hard to find a text slider/HTML slider!

   Hello developer, I have been using your plugin since 2 years , Its fantastic, But there are still other thing that could have made it more flexible and responsible, LIke adding things like Pause on Hover on slider area, an Option to select if we wanna display arrow or not. I am sure that these feature will catch you more new user. I will be waiting for it. Till then i will be giving it 4 review . thank you for such amazing free plugin.

   I needed to fix a jQuery conflict to even get this working. Next, I searched for a way to put posts in, no dice. Then I went with some wordpress PHP <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1&offset=1');?> to display posts and put this PHP in the slides for new items 1 2 and 3 – and as per the wordpress norm, it commented my code out. So, after fixing the conflict, it was an ‘anything but the one thing I want to use it for’ slider. Basically, it’s a ‘anything as long as it’s just html or text’ slider.

   Nice simple slider. I’ve used it for fancy text, text mixed with images and images with links. All worked in the end. I had quite a bit of HTML and it accepted it all. I found that the mix of text and images can be tricky – I had to put a few lines of hidden dots (e.g. <p style="color:white;">.</p>) to reserve enough vertical space – images mixed with a small amount of text don’t seem to reserve any vertical space. Another technique I used was framing my slides in a div (e.g. <div style="height:120px;"> bla bla </div>) to get better control of the height. Once thing I could not figure out is the order of presentation of the slides. It seems to be based on the order you add the slides. This makes it tricky (or at least tedious) to control the order of your slides. All in all, a pretty good slider that works.

   I previously tried to use Simple HTML Slider, but it actually changed the html I was trying to slide (for example, resizing embedded images). This slider lets me scroll arbitrary html with embedded images and links – exactly what I was looking for.
