The most famous sliders are only based on images and titles, but in most cases we use these sliders to display the posts, and there lies the problem.
Most plugins makes it very difficult to connect a slider to a post, and this is wrong !
A blog is made of posts and everything should revolve around them.
I present to you the X- slider, a slider based on posts! No complicated interfaces and billions of options that do not even use.
The X-slider was created with the purpose of being simple, easy to use, easy to set up and of course, easy to change, because it was made for Developers.
Features
<ul>
<li>Beautiful full width responsive image slider.</li>
<li>Extreme simple and efficient user interface.</li>
<li>All slides work based on Posts. You attach a slide directly inside the post editor.</li>
<li>Super easy to customize, as a developer you’ll love it.</li>
<li>Super easy to add, change and remove the slides. The admin user will also love it.</li>
<li>Shortcode for showing the slider anywhere</li>
</ul>

This plugin allows you to create a simple responsive slider that displays the featured image, along with the title and excerpt from each post.
It includes options for the maximum dimensions of your slideshow, allows you to choose to display posts or pages, what category to pull from, and even the specific post IDs of the posts you want to display. It includes next/previous arrows and a pager along with the option to turn both on or off. Finally, you can place the slider into a widget area.
The slideshow is also responsive and will automatically adjust for the screen it is being displayed on.
Note: This plugin only supports Genesis child themes.
<h3>Child Theme Integration</h3>
To adjust the slider defaults for a child theme use a filter similiar to the following:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'genesis_responsive_slider_settings_defaults', 'my_child_theme_responsive_slider_defaults' );

function my_child_theme_responsive_slider_defaults( $defaults ) {
 $defaults = array(
 'post_type' => 'post',
 'posts_term' => '',
 'exclude_terms' => '',
 'include_exclude' => '',
 'post_id' => '',
 'posts_num' => 5,
 'posts_offset' => 0,
 'orderby' => 'date',
 'slideshow_timer' => 4000,
 'slideshow_delay' => 800,
 'slideshow_arrows' => 1,
 'slideshow_pager' => 1,
 'slideshow_loop' => 1,
 'slideshow_height' => 400,
 'slideshow_width' => 920,
 'slideshow_effect' => 'slide',
 'slideshow_excerpt_content' => 'excerpts',
 'slideshow_excerpt_content_limit' => 150,
 'slideshow_more_text' => '[Continue Reading]',
 'slideshow_excerpt_show' => 1,
 'slideshow_excerpt_width' => 50,
 'location_vertical' => 'bottom',
