Looking for a simple WP image slider

Hi guys. I'm looking for a simple WP image slider plugin. I've tried a few, they either don't work, or have far too many options, ie shadows and silly tabs...

I'm just looking for something simple, that will slide 2 or 3 images I have.

Simple controls, like left and right would be good.... can anyone help?

    Hi
    You're looking for a plugin that adds the slide in a post or , for example in the header of your theme ?

    By the way it's usually the WP theme itselft that has the slide built-in. Anyway if you tell us what your going to do we can try to help.

    I have used this one several times:
    Easing Slider | Wordpress Image Slider | Matthew Ruddy

    It works great and is relatively simple to set up. (It does have a lot of additional features if you need them, but you can just use the simple/basic parts to it and it works well).

      +1 for Easing slider. I just built a WP site where the slider was very prominent. Did a fair bit of research into all the options and this one kicks the others butts!

      This is one of the ones I tried.... it doesn't work, I just get the loading circle thing...

      Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

        If you need help setting it up let me know. It works great, you might just have a piece out of place.

          Thanks, got it working... it was another plugin that was interfering with it, uninstalled and reinstalled... working great now... although, I can't figure out how to change the back and next icons, and the pagentation icons at the bottom... is this only in the paid version?

            Cool! A lot of slider plugins can stop due to conflicts with other plugins, but I am glad you caught it and fixed it,.

            To change the next/prev buttons, there is a spot in the admin panel under 'slider settings'. I think you just paste the url of the image you want to use there and hit the save button. (I saw that option, just used the default images so far). The pageination icon settings are under that tab too.

    I use jquery to incorporate image sliders in some of my sites. It's fairly easy to merge the two platforms.
