Notable replacement for CuteSlider

By the same people who built CuteSlider, MasterSlider (free) does what you need in.

I will note some initial issues with the slider not even displaying, but after some community feedback, the issues seem to have been fixed and updated by the author. I dropped it down one star due to the amount of time it took for a response from the author, but the issue was indeed fixed with his update.

Backend interface is rather intuitive and works similarly to CuteSlider, so if you are “side-grading” from CuteSlider, this is indeed the plugin to get. For those first-timers, it will take a bit of getting used to the interface.

Adding the MasterSlider to posts or pages is also easy.
— set up the slider via the settings then use the shortcode
— set up a slider via the post-toolbar then shortcode will auto-enter

Can use multiple MasterSliders on a single page/post.

We’ve not tried the video-auto-play so I cannot rate on that.

Overall, a decent plugin to replace CuteSlider. I will use this again on other sites.
