From almost the beginning ive given this a 5 star rating.
BUT with the recent updates in jQuery and this item going years without updates it will work... but badly (with alot of errors and jquery-migrate)

I must use WordPress to create a slider!!
Author response
Hi,
no, you can code it manually but to create a Slider visually via drag & drop you need to go via WordPress. This is waaaay less effort and more affordable than the Visual Editor System we had here on Envato so we stopped selling that to customers of course.

This package is not updating, do not buy this!

Hi,
yes, this here is basically only the license. You get the up2date, all bells and whistles version when using the jQuery/HTML export option in the WP version (which functions as visual editor).

Really awesome
documentation is very poor, no clear explanation on site, its redirecting to main site having wordpress version, seems like all focus went on wordpress from this jquery one.
Documentation is very useless, and u need to buy visual add-ons which are also missing. It should be in 1 package and not a separate product.

There is nothing worthy in this and never has been. I have never been able to create a fully customized slider because your documentation is HORRIBLE! No videos, no A-B-C tutorials, just all advanced tech talk and for those who cannot write JS from scratch, it does me ZERO good. Clearly you have no intention of improving or updating this ever because you haven't touched it in 4 years. Just dump it so people stop using it in their non-wordpress templates. I am now stuck with it in the themes I have already bought and that is why I bought the stand-along JS version to being with and it did me no good. What a waste of so much time trying to make this work. If nothing else, mark this for advanced users so people like me will not waste time nor money & I can avoid themes that use it. I have had many good experiences with the Envato Themes, but this almost discounts all of it. Such disappointment.
Reading comments I was thinking that this will be updated... but no updates for this product, for 3 years, and only what I can see is that the product is abandoned by devs.
Apparently the customer support doesn't exist.

Excellent
I already have the wordpress version and there is nothing saying that this is useless if you already have the wordpress one.

Hi,
exactly, we are not sure why this is a 1star rating though.
When you want to use Slider Revolution WITH WordPress you need the WordPress version.
When you want to use Slider Revolution WITHOUT WordPress you need the jQuery stand alone license to legally (and most times technically too) use it.
If you need more details please do not hesitate and write to help@sliderrevolution.com , thanks!

This slider hasn't had an update in over two years and questions about when it will be updated are met with canned responses that are never followed up on.
The Wordpress slider is where they're focusing all of their attention and at this point I don't see them changing it back to this version.
