An Awesome Slider Plugin!
This slider plugin really is the best out there in my opinion. It's easy to understand and you can make beautiful, full function sliders.

Great plugin!
I tried all the free alternatives to this (10+ other plugins, all the big name ones). None of them worked to create a thumbnail gallery. This plugin works great. It's fast, free, and free from ads! Things I would like to see in future versions:- Control of the thumbnail bar location. Currently it defaults below the gallery, but it would be good to have the option to place the bar on the side of the gallery.- Set the max width of the slider, and adjust the slider height to the maximum content (while keeping the image aspect ratio). Other plugins allow this basic functionality.

Too short on functions
This plugin is only for displaying thumbnails. You cannot attach links to them and you have to create a static page to display the slider in the top page. Definitely better to try other sliders that can display thumbnails and include links.

Excellent Support
At first, I had difficulty in deciding the proper settings for the thumbnail gallery on my own. I tried different combinations, but none of them looked good in the end. I searched if I could find a guideline or something like that but couldn't find any. But then, as I contacted the team, they were very fast to get back to me and had gone through all pages one by one and specified the best adjustments for each of them. All pages look very well now. Thank you all for your support!
