The Nivo Slider is probably the most popular image slider in the world, the free jQuery plugin reaching 3,000,000+ downloads. The WordPress plugin builds on this solid foundation by allowing you to use the familiarity of the WordPress Admin to create and manage sliders and insert them into your posts and pages using a simple shortcode.

The WordPress plugin comes with all the awesome features of the jQuery plugin (16+ transition effects, themes, semantic HTML, responsive etc.) but adds features such as multiple slider types, automatic image cropping, thumbnail navigation support, integration with Media Manager Plus and much more.
