MotoPress Slider Plugin Settings

Upon activating the MotoPress Slider plugin you’ll see a MotoPress Slider menu added to your WordPress Dashboard which will contain 3 options – MotoPress Slider, Settings & License.

The Settings option offers you to disable the slider for certain user groups on your WordPress site. Check the respective groups from whom you want to hide the slider menu and restrict them from adding a new slider on your site. Remember this only hides the MotoPress Slider menu from the WordPress Dashboard and has no changes to the visibility of the Slider button on the default WordPress editor.

The License option is where you add your license key for MotoPress Slider that you have purchased.

Finally the MotoPress Slider option which provides an overview of all the sliders you have created on your WordPress site.

Create new sliders or modify existing ones; the overview offers general information about slides and sliders settings which is convenient to operate. Use the Import & Export button to import / export sliders to be used on other websites using the MotoPress Slider plugin.

MotoPress Slider Plugin Interface

When you create a new slider you are presented with the following interface :

The New Slider Settings include general settings, control settings & appearance settings. All these are global settings for the slider that is being created. You will create slides for the new slider in the next interface after clicking the Create Slider and the New Slide button in that order.

Each tab (General | Color | Image | Video | Link | Visibility | Misc) is straightforward and user-friendly so that you can mould the slide to your requirements. You should not have any problem creating multiple slides for your slider. Start adding elements like text, images, buttons and videos by clicking on the respective add buttons. Drag and drop the elements on the slide area and customize the content as you want in the layer settings tab. In case you get stuck somewhere use the documentation to get started.

The Cost of MotoPress Slider

MotoPress Slider offers three pricing plans – Personal ($19), Business ($49) and Developer ($99). After one year you can use the slider as long as you need, but for future updates and technical help, you will need to renew your license. The varying factor among the plans is the number of websites across which you can use the plugin.

Choose the best license depending on your project. If you are a WordPress blogger then the Personal pricing plan should suffice for one WordPress site, for a business running upto 5 websites go with the Business pricing plan and for using MotoPress Slider across unlimited WordPress sites the Developer’s licence would be the best choice.

Remember that MotoPress Slider requires a minimum of WordPress 3.5 and PHP 5.2.4.
