I was on the hunt for a image slider plugin for wordpress and was surprised how many don't include an interface for putting together multiple sliders. Meta Slider was probably the best one I found. You can pick from 4 open source jQuery sliders when creating your slides; Nivo Slider, Flex Slider 2, Coin Slider and Responsive Slides. Slideshows are stored as a custom post type, slides are stored as media files and the relation between the two is stored as taxonomy data. You can create unlimited slideshows with unlimited number of slides.

Was on the hunt for a image slider carousel for a website over the weekend and had a hard time finding one I liked, which is surprising because all it's gotta do is rotate images with a fade effect and before and after buttons. I was impressed with the size of this one and how many stars it had on Github.

A simple, no-frills, robust jQuery plugin for creating beautiful slideshows for your featured content.

Basic jQuery Slider has been developed to be as simple and lightweight as possible. Only the essential functionality has been included combined with clean semantic mark-up. This means instead of removing features and bending a slider plugin to suit your needs, you can use this slider and as a base and extend it to be as feature rich, or as simple, as you need.

Slides can contain any valid HTML markup. Slide and fade animations. Supported in all major browsers. Easy to theme. Supports keyboard navigation. Super lightweight, at 4.6kb minified.
