Plugin Description
Slider Pro is a fully responsive and touch-enabled WordPress slider plugin that allows you to create professional and elegant sliders. This slider plugin was built with user experience in mind, providing a clean and intuitive user interface in the admin area and a smooth navigation experience for the end-users.
Slider Pro avoids unnecessary fanciness, that many times is an obstacle for end-users in getting the information they need, and instead focuses on simplicity and performance, while still providing a wide range of customization possibilities.

- Fully Responsive – Slider Pro will look and work great on any screen size.

- Smooth Animations – All animations use smooth CSS3 transitions (with fallback to JavaScript animations).
- Animated Layers – Layers can contain any HMTL content, from simple text to videos.
- Elegant Effects – The slider provides the two most popular transition effects for sliders: fade and slide.
- Carousel Layout – It’s possible to show multiple, differently sized (fixed height & variable width, or the opposite) slides in a carousel-like layout.

- Auto Height – Optionally, the slider height can expend depending on the height of the current slide.
- Customizable Orientation – The slider and the thumbnails can be oriented both horizontally and vertically.
- Lazy Loading – It’s possible to load the images only when they become visible, thus increasing the loading speed and saving bandwidth.
- Conditional Images – It’s possible to load separate images for different slider sizes, so that when the slider is loaded on a mobile device, a smaller version of the image gets loaded.
- Retina-enabled – The slider allows you to specify a retina version for each image.
- Thumbnails – Thumbnails can contain images, text and any other HTML content. Also, they can be position to the left, right, top or bottom of the slider.

- Full-screen – Slider Pro can enter the full-screen mode in browsers that support the HMTL5 Full Screen API.

Back-end features:
- Dynamic Content – You can easily load content (featured image, title, excerpt, post content, and more) from posts. You can also create sliders from gallery images or load images from Flickr.
- Automatic Updates – You can update Slider Pro directly from the Dashboard.
- Caching – The plugin automatically caches all your sliders to ensure a fast loading time.
- Best Practices – WordPress development best practices were implemented in order to ensure a conflict-less integration with other themes and plugins.
