Sugar Slider – WordPress Slider Manager

There are hundreds of jQuery image sliders out there, and more than a handful of WordPress plugins that help you set them up on your site. However, the vast majority all share a common setback or two:

• They require a knowledge of programming
• They are not intuitive to use
• They are inflexible and only allow a couple of slides per slider
• They require you manually enter the URL of your image in a custom field
• They provide very few customization options that are easy to use
• . . .

Any of those sound familiar?

Well, that’s where Sugar Slider for WordPress, a brand new plugin available from Code Canyon.net comes in.
