Everyone love to see image on any website and if it is a slideshow people like to see it much. Furthermore, perfect use of slide show gives gorgeousness to a site. And why the WordPerss users will stay away from the use of slide show.

I got some magnificent looking WordPress plugins for slideshow which I showcase in here. Hope the WordPerss users will love to use these.

1. WordPress Gallery Slideshow

NextGen Gallery plugin is a small plugin with less configuration settings and no extra tables for the WordPress Database. Straightforwardness should be the guide for the adventure of raising this plugin. It is just a Slideshow to set your images in the right context. Nothing more nothing less.

2. WordPress Plugin: iSlidex

iSlidex is a WordPress Plugin that will showcase, in an elegant and minimal way (the Apple way), images taken from posts in a specific category. It is indeed a slideshow plugin, completely automated once you set the number of slides you would like to feature, the size and the category from where iSlidex will pull the images. iSlidex comes also with a widget, which can be set independently from the main slider, from the same settings page, however recommend the use of the plugin only inside big sidebars, in order to be displayed in the best way.

This plugin and widget allows you to create dynamic, controllable slideshows or presentations for your website.

4. Sponsors Slideshow Widget

This plugin is designed to be used as sponsor’s slide show widget. It can show a certain link category as slide show in the sidebar, using the jQuery Cycle Plugin. It automatically excludes the chosen slideshow category from the WordPress internal links widget. Below is a list of options.

On the right side, there are all the titles (and a small description under the Title) of the Posts. The Slideshow highlights the active Post and repeats automatically after getting to the 5th Post. You have a powerful administration area to adjust the category, the number of posts, the width and height, and many colors for the Slideshow!

8. Xili Floom Slideshow

For integration inside wordpress, Xili-floom-slideshow can be awesome! It tries to install it automatically but also allows personalization. Xili-floom-slideshow inserts the javascript and CSS file inside the header of the theme. The images attached (but not inserted) to a post (or a page) are listed for the slideshow. And after adding a [xilifloom] shortcode inside the content of the post, the slideshow of the images of the gallery are automatically displayed.

It is possible to preview a gallery created from several albums in a convenient mode of slide show (full size) or in thumbnails (streaming tape). It’s easy with Global Flash Galleries to create different galleries from numerous grouped albums even if you don’t have much experience in it. There are many various and apprehensible settings and styles with which you can easily change the size of images preserving its original proportion and put the required tags.
