AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Slidr 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. 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.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Giorgos Sarigiannidis — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (3) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

How Slidr works
Show full descriptionShow less
Slidr is a clean, simple, responsive and touch-friendly multi-purpose Carousel. It takes a different approach than most other carousel plugins on that it displays posts or custom posts instead of just gallery photos (but it can show gallery photos as well if you like). Its goal is to be as flexible as possible, allowing you to fully customize its appearance via CSS and override the default HTML output. You can even use it as a “vessel” to display your custom loops which could, practically, contain any content you like, from YouTube videos and Google Maps to Instagram feeds and Tweets!

Features
Responsive.
Touch friendly.
Can accept variable width – fixed height images.
You can call it via a shortcode on posts, pages and widgets.
You can use it instead of the default WordPress gallery. No need to mess with shortcodes – just enable “Slidr for Gallery” and start creating galleries as usual, the WordPress way!
Supports cycling items (when at the end, clicking “next” loads the first item and so on, simulating a circular move).
Autoscroll support.
Customizable queries with more than a dozen of parameters. You can adjust the post type, number of entries, thumbnail size, order and many more.
You can have different carousels with different queries and different parameters on a single page.
You can call it conditionally, to load scripts and styles only when needed.
It can display entries without photos. For example, you can show the titles and excerpts of your recent posts (or custom posts) and style them however you like.
Using a special function you can override the text output for each item. For example, instead of the item’s title and excerpt you can show an icon, some static text or something else.
You can add your custom class on each shortcode, to style each carousel differently.
If you are a theme developer, you can pass your own default values through your theme’s functions.php for “Slidr for Gallery” option.
Works on every recent version of all popular browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari) and it even supports Internet Explorer 8.
A custom loop function allows you to use the carousel with your custom loops. That way you can practically use it to display any content you like (videos, content from feeds etc). View demos
