Slider Pro Plugin

Slider Pro is a responsive slider plugin that offers Premium features for FREE, including animated layers, post content, full width layout and more.

Slider Pro is a fully responsive and touch-enabled WordPress slider plugin that allows you to create professional and elegant sliders. This slider plugin was built with user experience in mind, providing a clean and intuitive user interface in the admin area and a smooth navigation experience for the end-users.

See a few examples on the slider’s presentation page.

Features:

  • Touch support for touch-enabled screens
  • Set different configurations for the same slider, based on screen sizes (using breakpoints)
  • Load images conditionally based on the size of the slider (different image sizes for different screen sizes)
  • Animated and static layers, which can contain text, images or any HTML content
  • Lightbox integration
  • Full Width and Full Window support
  • Carousel layout with looping/infinite scrolling
  • Thumbnails that contain both images and text.
  • Auto height based on inner content size
  • Lazy loading for images
  • Deep linking (link to specific slide inside the slider)
  • Keyboard navigation
  • Clean and intuitive admin interface
  • Preview sliders directly in the admin area
  • Drag and drop slide sorting for easy management of the slides’ order
  • Publish sliders in any post (including pages and custom post types), in PHP code, and widget areas
  • Caching system for quick loading times
  • Optimized file loading. The JavaScript and CSS files are loaded only in pages where there are sliders
  • Load images (e.g., featured images) and content dynamically, from posts (including custom post types), WordPress galleries and Flickr
  • Action and filter hooks to add to the functionality of the slider
  • Import and export sliders between different plugin installations

These videos demonstrate the full capabilities of the plugin.

Premium Add-ons allow you to further extend the functionality of the slider:

  • Custom CSS and JavaScript: Allows you to add custom CSS and JavaScript code to your sliders in a syntax highlighting code editor. It also features a revisions system that will backup all your code edits, allow you to compare between multiple revisions and restore a certain revision.
  • Revisions: Automatically stores a record of each edit/update of your sliders, for comparison or backup purposes. Each slider will have its own list of revisions, allowing you to easily preview a revision, analyze its settings, compare it to other revisions or restore it.
