After I had problems with another slider plugin (crashed my website after an upgrade), I switched to Soliloquy. It was simple to get my slider back running, even with the free version. Plus there’s support for lots of more complex effects, which I may take advantage of in the future.
Easy to use ! result on site perfect !
Bravo !
Highly recommended.
I have tried several of the other sliders – including Gutenslider, the worst of the lot – and this one is an absolute breeze (once you have realised you are creating an element that sits alongside the post you are working on). Just being confident that your captions will turn up with the pictures is a huge relief, and you can edit them on the fly. Honestly, I can’t think why anyone would use another plugin once they have tried this.
Always produces good quality results
