1. Content Slider by SlideDeck

It’s black, it’s white, take your pick. This is one of my favs, looks sharp & it’s very easy to use. Put the PHP code where you want it or set it to auto & there you go.

The SlideDeck WordPress slider plugin allows you to easily create a content slider widget or slideshow on your WordPress blog without having to write any code. Just create a new slider with the SlideDeck control panel tool and insert the widget into your post via the WYSIWYG editor with the TinyMCE plugin SlideDeck picker.

4. JJ NextGen JQuery Carousel

Another nice one, comes in 2 flavors vertical & horizontal. Only downside is it requires the NextGen Gallery Plugin. The ‘JJ NextGen JQuery Carousel’ allows you to create a ‘JCarousel’ as a widget or as a shortcode. This plugin uses the ‘NextGen Gallery’ plugin for its images.

5. Carousel-of-post-images

Carousel of Post allows you to quickly and easily put one or more galleries on a page/post using shortcodes. The images in the gallery will be selected from either all images attached to posts, or from images attached to a specific post.

The default is to select 10 random images from all posts.
