The MetaSlider Schedule Slides Plugin is Retired

Until May 2022, there were three MetaSlider plugins available on WordPress.org. Here’s an overview of these three plugins:

• MetaSlider: 700,000 installs and updated at least once per month.
• MetaSlider Lightbox: Over 10,000 installs and updated regularly.
• MetaSlider Schedule Slides: Around 2,000 installs and not updated since March 2017.

As you can see from this overview, two of these plugins meet our high standards, but “MetaSlider Schedule Slides” did not.

“MetaSlider Schedule Slides” hadn’t been updated for over 5 years. The functionality in that plugin was out-of-dated and unmaintained. So we have retired the “MetaSlider Schedule Slides” plugin.
