Best plugin for doing a small flash photo slideshow?

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by MTbiker, Oct 21, 2011.

    I might be adding a photo slideshow to the homepage of one of my WP sites. I just searched for a plugin to make life easier and lo and behold, there are tons of them! Any tips on where to start?

    Perhaps NextGEN Gallery is the best?
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/

    Looks awesome and has some good reviews. So basically I'm asking, has anyone used a better solution? (Free or paid.)

    Thanks :)

    I use the vSlider plugin (free), from the guys at Vibe Themes.

    I also like the NextGen plugin, but not for the slideshow feature because:
    1. it's flash based, so it will not display on Apple iProducts
    2. the default flash player (JWPlayer), briefly places a watermark on the slideshow

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks! Looks nice. Definitely going to look into this some more, but from reading their home page, it sounds like exactly what I wanted originally.

    After some research on the NextGen plugin I see I need an $89 commercial license from JW Image Rotator to use it for my project, so I'm still exploring some other options.
