Description
-----------

[](#description)

The Nivo Slider is the worlds most popular jquery image slider plugin, downloaded over **3,000,000** times since it's inception. This is the "Lite" version of the official [Nivo Slider WordPress plugin](https://themeisle.com/plugins/nivo-slider?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=web&utm_content=description_link&utm_campaign=nivoslider_lite_plugin)which comes with email support and more features.

The plugin let's you easily create a post slider, an image carousel or a slideshow, right from your dashboard, without settings that you don't need. Can act as a homepage slider as well and it works great with our [WordPress themes](https://themeisle.com/wordpress-themes/free/).

Why Choose Nivo Slider? Nivo Slider is the best choice for a WordPress slider plugin because it is fast, intuitive and super easy to use. Is not the most feature-rich plugin on the market (like revolution slider or layer slider), but if you need just a responsive content slider that works, check it out!

**Get more awesome features by upgrading to the full plugin:**

- Create sliders from **Galleries, Categories and Sticky Posts**
- More custom **themes**
- Build carousels.
