### 󠀁[Best slider plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-slider-plugin-25/)󠁿

This is a great slider what works with Gutenberg editor. Although the settings are
not done within the editor, I like the fact that they are managed under a separate
space under the admin left column tab. When there are many settings to deal with,
Gutenberg editor does not provide adequate space to work. There’s good amount of
settings allowing you to customize the slider design with flexibility. And the best
part is that this is all free. The author is not attempting to up sale you with 
blatant banners, buttons, and popups in the admin screen like many others do. Thank
you for the great work.

I’m very happy with this easy going and clear coding lightweight plugin. Making 
slides with information in a short time and without any previous knowledge makes
this plugin one of my favorites. Thanks guys ! Keep on 🙂

I’ve wanted a simple slider that works in a post and this is it! No frills, no tutorials
to study, just pick your images, get your short-code and bam! You have a slider 
that you can post anywhere. I have The Revolution Slider Plugin 6.0, and that’s 
an amazing piece of software, but I write time-sensitive content, and I have to 
get it out quick, and MaxSlider lets me do that. I’ve also tried other basic sliders,
but they had conflicts with other scripts, MaxSlider just works.

 * Fixed issue where since the iframe-ing of the block editor in WP 6.3, block editor
   assets would not get enqueued under specific circumstances.

 * Dev note: White-label can now be enabled by adding a `add_filter( 'maxslider_whitelabel','
   __return_true' );` call in your theme.

   or written code that depends on MaxSlider, please update you code as soon as 
   possible.
 * Other minor code and styling fixes.

 * The template used (e.g. slug-template.php) is now passed along with the template
   vars down to the predefined templates hierarchy.

#### 1.0.0
