The Cactus Info Slider is a simple plugin whose purpose is to display sequential information. As opposed to the many sliders that exist whose main purpose is to showcase photos, Info Slider’s main purpose is to showcase information. Its best use is for anyone looking to display a step-by-step process with both text and a visual aid.
Info Slider uses 2 simple shortcodes and 3 simple attributes to create the slides:
<ul>
<li>[cactus-slider] – Open and close your entire set of slides with this shortcode.</li>
<li>[slider-item] – Open and close a single slide with this shortcode. All informational text you want displayed should be between this open/close shortcode.
<ul>
<li>[slider-item nbr=”1″] – The “nbr” attribute gives the slide a numerical value for easier tracking.</li>
<li>[slider-item title=”My Slide”] – The “title” attribute gives the slide a title, which will be represented as an h2 header.</li>
<li>[slider-item img=”http://server.com/myImage.jpg”] – the “img” attribute is a URL to the image you want to be associated with the slide.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Carousel Slider


I appreciate that all the paid features of its counterparts are free and of high quality.


great plugin


I tried 5 or 6 plugins just to get an image carousel that actually worked. None of them were functional. I was about to write my own plugin when I tried yours. Thank you!!! Simple, lightweight, and actually FUNCTIONAL. Finally! I wish I'd found yours first.


FINALLY!!!


I’m disappointed with the support experience. After reaching out multiple times and waiting a reasonable amount of time, I did not receive any response.



When issues come up, timely communication is very important. Even a short acknowledgement would help users know their request has been seen.



Because of the lack of support, I cannot recommend this plugin.


no support
