Serious Slider 1.0 is like brand new

We’ve created our Serious Slider plugin as a companion for our new generation of themes to offer them slider functionality that existed in the previous generation of themes. Since then our slider plugin has grown and is now ready to take the world (of sliders) head on.

Version 1.0 brings a collection of changes intended to make Serious Slider a full-fledged WordPress slider plugin, capable to rival even the most advanced free slider plugins out there while maintaining its efficient and lightweight construction.

You can now choose from 7 general style designs (plus a special one which neatly integrates with our selected themes), 7 transition effects between slides, 5 caption animations, 3 caption appearance styles, caption alignment and size options, accent color option. All these can be mixed and matched to create the image slider appearance of your choice.

Additionally, the slides can now display up to 2 separate buttons each (linking to your desired pages or content), with individual labels and link controls.

In the backend sliders and administration is now even easier, with quick slide image assignment, control and removal functionality and streamlined slider initialization.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For more information about our Serious Slider plugin, here are some useful links. The slider plugin is completely free and although the screenshots and live demo are a great representation of the theme, there’s nothing like a live preview on your actual site to give you an idea of what it can do. Have fun!
