Great plugin I am a website newbite so you cannot imagine how excited I was when I discovered MetaSlider. I’ve used it a number of times and it adds a lot of panache to what is currently a fairly straightforward site.

This does exactly what it promised to do. I was struggling with DIVI’s built in slider and this does exactly what it promised to do.Thank you.
