Carousel Block – Showcase Images in Elegant Sliding Displays vs SimpleTOC – Table of Contents Block

Turn static image lists into elegant, swipeable carousels your visitors love to browse – right inside the Gutenberg editor, no code required. Plugin Demo | Documentation | Get Pro Version Why Carousel Block? Rows of static images take up space and get skipped. Carousel Block turns them into a sleek, dynamic slider that captivates your audience – add the block, drop in your images, and publish a beautiful, responsive carousel in minutes. Everything is configured visually from the block sidebar: reorder slides with drag and drop, add captions and links, fine-tune autoplay and navigation, and choose from Slide, Fade, and Creative transition effects. Responsive controls let you set width, height, and column count separately for desktop, tablet, and mobile, so your carousel looks right on every device.

Add a Table of Contents block to your posts and pages. The TOC is a nested list of links to all heading found in the post or page. To use it, simply add a block and search for “SimpleTOC” or just “TOC”. The maximum depth of the toc can be configured in in the blocks’ sidebar among many other options. There can hide the headline “Table of Contents” and add your own by using a normal heading block. Spin up a new WordPress instance with the SimpleTOC plugin already installed.
