Plugged In: Slider Plugins

Emily Schiola 8.11.2016

Welcome to Plugged In, where we take a look at some of the most popular WordPress plugins in various categories. For more information on WordPress plugins, download our ultimate guide.

We found the top ten plugins used by WP Engine sites, and one of those was Slider Revolution. If you’re interested in adding a slider to your site, plugins are the best way to do it. You can completely customize the slider to fit your needs and get it put together quickly.

Any of these plugins will make it easy to create a beautiful slider. We have compiled a few of the most popular slider plugins from the WordPress Plugin Repository. Check them out…

Meta Slider

Meta Slider: Best WordPress slider plugins

Meta Slider is the most popular slider plugin in WordPress, with over 700,000 active installs. This slider plugin gives you the tools to create slideshows quickly and efficiently. Just drag images from your media library, add captions and links and you’re ready to go. It’s a great way to show off photos or images you’ve compiled.

A bonus is everything can be done on one page. There’s no need to look around for where to add components or places to add features. The plugin puts it all in one place, making the process easier than ever.

Slider

Slider: Best WordPress Slider Plugins

The Slider plugin allows you to add images from both your computer or media library all into one place. Slider also supports videos. You can feel free to add an unlimited number of images, which means you don’t have to change them out as often.

You can customize this slider plugin to fit your needs with a variety of arrow options. You can also take away the arrows and allow users to sit back and enjoy the show.

Slideshow

Slideshow: Best WordPress Slider Plugins

Not as commonly downloaded as the other two, but still just as effective, Slideshow creates compelling slideshows. It’s extremely responsive, supporting both videos and photos. You can run multiple slideshows on one page if you have different sets of images to display.

Add arrows or opt to have it scroll through without being halted. If you don’t want to change each feature, you can use the default slideshow, which is just as beautiful as a custom one.

Having a slideshow is a great way to show photos you’ve taken to an audience. It can really make a website look more professional!
