Carousel Block Pro extends the Carousel block for Gutenberg with more ways to control slide movement and presentation. Add images, arrange slides with drag and drop, then configure the carousel in the editor sidebar. Use it for galleries, portfolios, client logos or linked promotional banners.

Set up the carousel

The base block includes captions and slide links, responsive width, height and column settings, autoplay, navigation, pagination, and Slide, Fade and Creative transitions. You can also adjust looping, speed and autoplay delay, set the slider background and padding, and select whether slide links open in the same tab or a new tab.

Manage movement and timing

Visitors can open slide images in a lightbox. You can place a slide link on its caption as well as on the slide itself. Enable touch movement for gesture navigation, or let users move through slides with the mousewheel. Free Mode allows free dragging, with optional sticky behavior.

• Disable autoplay after a visitor interacts with the carousel.
• Pause autoplay when the pointer enters the carousel.
• Reverse autoplay direction or stop autoplay on the last slide.

Choose transitions and show controls

Alongside Slide, Fade and Creative, Pro adds Cube, Coverflow, Flip and Cards transitions. Pagination and navigation can each be shown or hidden on tablet and mobile. Dynamic bullets offer another pagination style for carousels with multiple slides.

Caption settings include showing text on hover, placing it outside the picture and changing its vertical alignment. Set caption typography, alignment, overlay and text colors, background color and padding. Width, height and column count can be adjusted independently for desktop, tablet and mobile.
