AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
SlideShowPro Director Connector is a category-leading 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. 1 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
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by rdp — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (1) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

The plugin’s CSS file is not overriden by the theme as it is loaded aferwards. For now you’ll have make appearance changes to the plugin’s css file. Be careful. The file will be overwritten by the next update.
Shortcodes = Add one image by its director content id =
[sspdc content=(content_id) link=(default:lightbox|post|director|url:) format=(format_name|default:post)]
