AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Home Page Slideshow is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Slider category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Home Page Slideshow works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin creates a “Home Slideshow” options page under the “Settings” menu in the WordPress admin. Editors and admins can create and manage individual slides on this page. These slides can then be displayed as a dynamic slideshow on a site’s home page using the simple ‘[home_slideshow]’ shortcode. (View an example slideshow)
The plugin supports one optional “options” shortcode attribute:
[home_slideshow options="timeout=5000"]
options: This attribute can be used to override default slideshow options or set custom options. Attribute values use query string format, e.g.: ‘option1=value1&option2=value2’ etc. Option names are in standard Cycle2 format without ‘data-cycle-‘ prefix. See the Cycle2 website for documentation and supported options.
Notes
Slides include image (required) and optional title, subtitle and link.
Links and image size can be set when selecting image. (Full size images recommended.)
Slideshows and slides are 100% the width of their container. Upload images that are at least as wide as the slideshow you want them to appear in.
Default Display: Aspect ratio of slideshow image area is set by the first image; images appear at 100% width / height of the slide container; images will show scaling in slideshows that contain both horizontally and vertically aligned images.
Default CSS ids begin with “hss-“, Cycle2 classes with “cycle-“. Default slideshow id is “home-slideshow”. Default CSS styles were created using Twenty Thirteen theme — some theme CSS customization may be necessary for other themes.
Slideshows look and perform best if images are sized to desired slideshow container / aspect ratio.
This plugin uses jQuery Cycle2. Cycle2 may conflict with previous versions of Cycle if used on the same page.
