What MetaSlider WordPress Plugin Does

The most basic slide type is the image slideshow where you add several images from your media library that automatically change after a specified amount of time. It supports full width slideshows or use the carousel feature to show multiple images at one time.

With the Pro version you can create more eye catching presentations by layering text on top of the images. The Post Feed slides allows you to show off your latest or most popular posts. The plugin is not limited to just images, you can add video from Youtube and Vimeo to your slideshow. The Pro version also offers adding thumbnails or filmstrips to the navigation.

The simple, easy to use interface lets you add images to a slideshow directly through the WordPress Media Manager module.
