    Since WP's latest update, WP-Cylce no longer is updateable. When I try to add a slide, the page just parks on a white page with no advancement. Does anyone know if MetaSlider is a direct replacement of WP-Cycle. If I deactivate WP-Cycle and activate MetaSlider will MetaSlider pop into the home page area where WP-Cycle used to show up?

    No. You will need to install the plugins template tag or shortcode.

    Another option is soliloquy or Easing slider

    Or you could try the Genesis Responsive Slider plugin

    I am not seeing any kind of a tutorial for the slider plug in. Will it directly replace the WP-Cycle plugin on my home page? Right where the WP-Cycle plugin shows up on the upper right portion of the landing page. I can't update WP-Cycle any more with the newest WP version so I will need to change a lot of my sites once I figure this out. Of course I have a client that want s updates RIGHT NOW. I have edited the settings for the GRS but don't see where to add images or anything. I am a little confused on how to make it replace the WP-Cycle plug in and have GRS replace it.

    There is no direct replacement for WP Cycle without installing another slider plugin.

    You will need to choose which plugin you want to use and then install it.

    If you are looking for a plugin which generates a widget for the slider, i suggest the Genesis Responsive slider.

    Otherwise you can choose from one of the 2 i mentioned previously which generate a shortcode and template tag which you can use to display the slider.
