Slider Revolution from Theme Punch is my personal favourite. I love it. Been using slider revolution for the longest.
What is revolution slider in WordPress?
Revolution slider is the most popular slider plugin used in WordPress. It is a paid plugin. Most of the WP themes available to purchase will have revolution slider by default. The Revolution slider we get along with themes does have a lot of features available to use. If you choose to explore Revolution slider’s premium features, you can purchase Revolution slider’s premium plugin to unlock all their features and avail their support too.
