Slider Pro is a responsive slider plugin that offers Premium features for FREE, including animated layers, post content, full width layout and more.

== Description ==

[Slider Pro](https://bqworks.net/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.

See a few examples on the [slider's presentation page](https://bqworks.net/slider-pro/).

Features:

* Fully responsive on any device
* Touch support for touch-enabled screens
* Set different configurations for the same slider, based on screen sizes (using breakpoints)
* Load images conditionally based on the size of the slider (different image sizes for different screen sizes)
* Animated and static layers, which can contain text, images or any HTML content
* Lightbox integration
* Full Width and Full Window support
* Carousel layout with looping/infinite scrolling
* Thumbnails that contain both images and text.
* Auto height based on inner content size
* Lazy loading for images
* Deep linking (link to specific slide inside the slider)
* Keyboard navigation
* Clean and intuitive admin interface
* Preview sliders directly in the admin area
* Drag and drop slide sorting for easy management of the slides' order
* Publish sliders in any post (including pages and custom post types), in PHP code, and widget areas
* Caching system for quick loading times
* Optimized file loading. The JavaScript and CSS files are loaded only in pages where there are sliders
* Load images (e.g., featured images) and content dynamically, from posts (including custom post types), WordPress galleries and Flickr
* Action and filter hooks to add to the functionality of the slider
* Import and export sliders between different plugin installations

[These videos](https://bqworks.net/slider-pro/screencasts/) demonstrate the full capabilities of the plugin.

[Premium Add-ons](https://bqworks.net/premium-add-ons/#sliderpro) allow you to further extend the functionality of the slider:

* [Custom CSS and JavaScript](https://bqworks.net/premium-add-ons/#custom-css-js-for-sliderpro): Allows you to add custom CSS and JavaScript code to your sliders in a syntax highlighting code editor. It also features a revisions system that will backup all your code edits, allow you to compare between multiple revisions and restore a certain revision.
* [Revisions](https://bqworks.net/premium-add-ons/#revisions-for-sliderpro): Automatically stores a record of each edit/update of your sliders, for comparison or backup purposes. Each slider will have its own list of revisions, allowing you to easily preview a revision, analyze its settings, compare it to other revisions or restore it.
