it is an excellent plugin, but Static Message option do not runs. it always catch the original post title, not the caption I write under the slide.
The application says to set “no” in global options for “Allow by adding only messages that contain Slide Show Photos.” I tried it but nothing to do.
Thank if someone helps

Everything seems to work, but if you try to add custom CSS in Slider settings, > is replaced with > and ” is replaced with " and thus, you can not properly write css cause it does not work all the time

I have spent too many hours looking for a responsive post-slider that actually works properly. This one is finally working and it’s pretty easy to work with. Looks great! Good job!

needed a plugin that took images from posts and displayed on slider and this did the job perfectly. Takes featured image from posts and displays in slider. great way of keeping slider up to date

As a designer, when I run into a tech glitch, I’m almost always over my head. They helped me by getting to the bottom of my issue. Excellent, I love the way this plugin shows my work!

It’s clear that a lot of thought and effort went into this plugin, I have no qualms at all with the fact that the ‘free’ version is very limited and that for many of the advanced features one must upgrade to the ‘premium’ version – after all, those that work hard on creating great plugins should earn something for their efforts.
However, I spent several weeks testing this plugin and gave a great deal of thought to how many stars it deserves – I would have gone with 4 except that, when compared to other ‘free’ slider plugins, this one lacks what is, IMHO, the most basic (and most important) of features, which is some flexibility to modify the slider’s text layer – the part that displays a Post’s title and (if desired) an excerpt over the image…it isn’t editable at all. Without that, this plugin will leave a lot of folks unhappy unless they pay to use the premium version, so for a “free” plugin, I can only give it three stars.
The problem with the inability to edit the text layer is two-fold — both in terms of content (it comes default with the post title and excerpt (oddly labeled ‘post_content’ rather than ‘post_excerpt’) so if you want to show only the post title, or some other custom field, you’re out of luck – you can’t change or remove those fields nor add others), and in terms of CSS — while it DOES include a Settings section for custom CSS, the construction of the slider itself does not use correctly structured semantic HTML and CSS in order to be able to do so – each image and text layer in the slider is wrapped in DIVs containing both unique CSS classes and unique ID’s making it difficult — albeit not impossible for those experienced with CSS — to target them with custom CSS, and nary a H(eading) tag (for the post title) or paragraph tag (for the excerpt) in sight …this is very frustrating and attempting to add custom CSS is definitely NOT for those who are not expert at CSS.
If all you want is to slap on a Post Slider and NOT mess with the text layer in any way, this plugin might work for you. If you’re looking for more style or content flexibility, you can upgrade to the paid version, or try a better free slider plugin such as WP Responsive Recent Post Slider.

UPDATED REVIEW:
This plugin is actually pretty great, but the ‘text layer’ feature was a little confusing, since it says it comes with the free version, but then in the backend it’s settings are disabled and it says it is only good with the paid version. However, even though it says this, the slider still does pull in the post excerpt along w/ the title. I guess the ‘text layer’ that is disabled in the backend allows for some additional text. Not sure. Before I saw that the [title] box also included the excerpt, it seemed like a bait and switch, but its just not well labeled imo. Very happy w/ the plugin now.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: This plugin looks wonderful, at the outset. As I downloaded and worked with it, I also found it very intuitive and user friendly in the backend.
However, I specifically needed the feature of the ‘text layer’ that was shown in the plugins page. There, it says in one of the bullet points …
Post Slider WD main features include:
– Text layer with post-related data
‘Main Features’, as in, what should be available with the free version. Underneath those ‘Main Features’ bullets, is a separate bullet list for what all else is included with the upgraded Pro version. Thus, it was clearly advertised that the ‘text layer’ was part of the main (free) features.
However, this is NOT the case. As I only learned after 20 minutes of time spent in installing and setting up a test slider.
Perhaps the author of this plugin at one time had the ‘text layers’ option as part of the free version but since changed their mind and clawed it back. I’m not sure, so I won’t go as far as accusing them of bad motives in the false advertising. However I can then accuse them of being careless in not bothering to update their plugin description so that it is misleading and wasted my time. I’m already behind on this project, so it’s just frustrating when this happens.
I wrote this review to hopefully save others the trouble. If the authors will update their page description to honestly reflect the features, then it will be a great plugin, no doubt.

The default slider for my Genesis theme wasn’t acting right. And, it didn’t show any text as far as the title, etc. on mobile devices. I was pulling my hair out trying to fix it. So after testing many slider plugins, this is absolutely a life saver. It is fully customizable so takes time and work, but the slider looks and operates EXACTLY how I need it to. On desktop and mobile devices. Life Saver!!

Com’on guys, seriously? A machine translation for English->German? The translation couldn’t get worse. German has different words for the same English word. The automatic translation mostly picks the wrong one, especially without context (like for single words on buttons, e.g. Save (button) -> you write: “Sparen”. That means “save money”! Correct would be “Speichern”. Just let it be or do it right.
Switched my WP to English and going to test the plugin now…

Best slider available out there. What makes this so different is the support that comes with this amazing plugin. You will never feels left in the dark. The support team with this plugin is what saved my website from total ruin.
Thanks Team and most importantly thanks to Zhanna for walking me through all of this. They were very patient with me as I am pretty “green” in web site design. The support the team gives is nothing but amazing and within 24 hours. You couldn’t ask for a better company to be involved with!
