About Usage
Please note that this plugin is NOT a complete slideshow solution. It only provides support to create slideshow posts on your WordPress backend. It's up to your used theme to turn your created slideshow posts in a beautiful custom slideshow on the frontend.
Benefits
Most likely you were referred to this plugin by your used theme. So why do your theme use Lean Slider? Using a plugin to register a custom post type for slides rather than a theme has one major benefit. You will not lose your created slides when you switch to another theme. Content loss will always happen when your theme has created any custom post types. Because of this WordPress themes should not register custom post types by themselves.
By using the Lean Slider plugin you will not lose your created slides when you switch themes - and if your new theme supports Lean Slider as well, your slideshow will just work right away in your new theme.
Support for theme developers
The main purpose of the Lean Slider post type is to provide theme developers an easy solution to create custom slideshows based on an own slider custom post type within their themes. See the section above why theme developers should not register custom post types in their themes. Especially for business wordpress themes it can be useful to create an extra post type for a homepage slider rather than using the default WordPress post type.
