AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Posts Slideshow Widget is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 5 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.
Pros
- +Published by apgossips — established developer track record

to extract any 1st image from that post content. Customize post title and background color, background color of slider navigation panel.
Color is selected from WordPress built-in color pallete. Manual input is available also. Select animation type: slide or fade.
