Jellyfish backdrop vs Simple Fullscreen Responsive Slider

Easily create full screen image backgrounds and fading slideshows that stretch and adapt to the size of your page. You can either use it as a global “cover” style background that will be displayed on all pages and posts of your WordPress website or you can give individual posts or pages including custom post types their own specific background – great for giving parts of a website a whole different look. Jellyfish Backdrop makes fullscreen background slideshows easy by allowing you to assign multiple backgrounds to any page or post. Unlimited number of post and slideshows. Create different slideshows or backgrounds or different areas of your site. Easy to use admin panels with sortable images and media library integration. Display images in any page element allowing slideshows anywhere, not just as a background! Demo See the plugin homepage for demos and full details: http://strawberryjellyfish.com/wordpress-plugins/jellyfish-backdrop/ Usage Visit the settings page to set up the global and default options. Here you’ll be able to set up a default background image that will be displayed on every page of your blog, enable or disable the global background or individual post and page background support as well as set up the default options. To add a unique background image or slideshow to a specific post or page, first make sure that in the Enable Page and Post Type Slideshows section on the setting page, you check any post types you want to allow slideshows to appear on. You’ll now find a new area on the post / page edit screens where you can add images to the Backdrop Slideshow and alter fade time, slide display time and where the images will appear. Jellyfish Backdrop uses the WordPress image uploader and Media Library, so it’s easy to choose the images you want to use. You can also reorder the images by dragging. Once you’ve finished adding and arranging your images, be sure to save the post or your changes will not be saved. Page / Post backgrounds will override the default background so it’s possible to define one background to be used site wide and another on a specific page. By default images are shown as the main page background (body), however you can make the images appear as backgrounds to other areas of the page by supplying any valid element id or class name in the Container field on the admin page. eg. #main, .header

Simple Fullscreen Responsive Slider (or Simple Slider) is exactly that—an easy-to-use, lightweight, responsive slider plugin designed to add a fullscreen slide show to your front page. It supports multiple post thumbnails for slide backgrounds, has no branding, and you can edit all the CSS directly from the options page (or add it into your stylesheet and leave the custom CSS blank). DEVELOPER-FRIENDLY Or perhaps this section should read “client-friendly” as the plugin has no branding on the slide editor or options page. Our goal was to create a useful slider that other developers would feel comfortable with and enjoy using on client projects. Note: The plugin is intended for developers and changing its appearance requires customizing the default CSS. CUSTOMIZABLE The plugin provides either a fading or sliding transition (with customizable slide and effect durations), slide overlays, and allows developers to edit all CSS directly from the options screen. Alternatively, you can leave the custom CSS blank and add the required styles into your main stylesheet. RESPONSIVE DESIGN When combined with Chris Scott/VOCE Platform’s awesome Multiple Post Thumbnails plugin (see Multiple Post Thumbnails), users can attach up to six separate images for a true responsive slider. The plugin will prompt for six different backgrounds and use those images according to the device used (instead of sending large images to mobile devices and/or low resolution images to retina and 4K displays). If you leave a slot open, it will search subsequently smaller sized images so, at a minimum, you must attach an image to the smallest slot. The slider uses Patrick Kunka’s EasyFader jQuery plugin (visit https://github.com/patrickkunka/easyfader for more information).
