Crelly Slider does not require any Coding Knowledge. With the simple admin panel you will be able to create the sliders in the easiest way. Upload images with the default WordPress interface or choose colors using the picker.
Most of the animations and the transitions are written in jQuery (using the “animate” function). In this way we can assure the compatibility with modern (even Android and iOs) and older browsers.
Installed Crelly Slider, but it significantly slowed down my WP Admin Dashboard to a crawl.
I installed it in WP 6.0.3 and it doesn’t work, it can’t be seen, although I see that it is in the code.
It does exactly what other plugins fail to do:
animated sliders, with a clear back end and acceptable learning curve not overflowed by mostly unuseful functionalities and upsell tentatives.
I try a lot of slider plugin, just this do everthing what i want. Thank you everbody who work on it!
I can say better than many premium plugins. We couldn’t fix a conflict issue with the theme I am using (Astra Pro) but I still keep using it and can recommend it.
