Slider is actually just Posts & Paywall
After installing, you are greeted with a Welcome page to help you make your first Slider. There is only 'Upload Image' without Media Library, and clicking it does nothing.When you create a new slide, it instead takes you to create a new post. If I understand the 7-year old 'tutorial', a slideshow is actually a bunch of individual posts with Featured image! There's no option to add images otherwise, and features that are free in the vastly outdated tutorials are locked behind a subscription paywall, which they have no problem reminding you about on every page. You can't even change the arrow icon without Premium! The FAQ is of no help either - Q: How do I create a Slider? A: You go to New Slider[ Insert image of Jackie Chan WHAT? meme ]

Great Slider Plugin!!
Genuine review, I went through two Slider Plugins prior to finding this ONE. The prior ones had conflict issues or caused the website to run slow. I've now been using Slider Ultimate for a little over two years. This plugin is light weight, responsive, easy to use, customizable and all-around, a GREAT PLUGIN! This plugin has never had any conflicts or issues with my other plugins and has never had any issues with updates and changes to Wordpress. Highly recommended.

Settings don't work
Auto slide, no matter how you set the intervals, results in very fast flickering. Links on thumbnails below slider first one doesnt work. Worst plugiun I ever had.
