<p>SPS is a simple plugin to create a slider of pictures and display it with a shortcode or PHP code. Few options to keep it simple, but fast and efficient. Some hooks to improve the slider or to configure it more specifically. Good plugin for developers, with possibility to control what your client can edit or not in the advanced options.<br />
Compatible with ACF, you can put field groups for every slide. It’s possible to override template files for displaying the fields.</p>
