Placid Slider is a customizable WordPress plugin that will help you adding a smoothly scrolling horizontal or vertical Slideshow to your WordPress site’s front page, other pages, posts, sidebar widgets etc. It is responsive in nature that means the slider will also look awesome on all devices including tablets like iPad, Galaxy Tab and Smartphones like iPhone, BlackBerry or Android. If you are using a responsive theme, the slider will adjust according to the browser size. It looks really cool for sliding logos, brand names etc.
The posts, pages and the media library images can be easily added to the slider thru the edit panel on the WordPress admin.
The slider can be easily inserted anywhere on the site either using a template tag in the respective template file or using Placid Slider shortcode or using a simple widget. Also you can create multiple sliders, so that you can display different content in slider on different pages. And the best thing is, you can create multiple settings as well, and while embedding the slider you can specify which setting you would need for a particular instance of slider.
The slider can be very easily customized using the easy admin panel options.
Customizable Elements of the Slider
The Slider can be setup to Scroll automatically or if you enable Previous – Next buttons, then the Slider will Scroll when the visitor hovers on the Previous / Next buttons.
You can add ‘n’ number of images from the Media Library, give them a title and link them to required URL (say the link from your Sponsor) or if the image is of your own product, then you can link it to your product page.

The Slider will pause when the visitor will hover on it, otherwise it will keep on Smoothly Scrolling without any disturbances.
Type of Content that can be shown in the Slider
- You can add posts/pages or media images to the slider and embed this custom slider anywhere on your site.
