Overview
The WP-Cycle plugin allows you to upload images from your computer, which will then be used to generate a jQuery Cycle Plugin slideshow of the images.
Each image can also be given a URL which, when the image is active in the slideshow, will be used as an anchor wrapper around the image, turning the image into a link to the URL you specified. The slideshow is set to pause when the user hovers over the slideshow images, giving them ample time to click the link.
Images can also be deleted via the plugins Administration page.

Not Working
by silverlight001·9 years ago
Looks like this plugin has been left to gather dust – it does not appear to work with later versions of WP. Nathan has done many excellent plugins but I guess he’s had other projects…

Old but working nicely
by John·12 years ago
Installed fresh on 3.5.1 and works fine.
Great slider but basic
by Duncan Michael-MacGregor·12 years ago
Have used this slider for years on many websites, however due to it’s basic nature we are now moving over to using NivoSlider instead.
WP-cycle is Highly recommended if you want a easy quick to set up slider.
