Carousel Block – Showcase Images in Elegant Sliding Displays vs WP Go Maps 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.

References We make use of a various libraries and 3rd party service providers in order to render maps in your preferred mapping engine. This section will describe each of these in more detail and when they are used. OpenLayers: Served from a local library file (lib/ol.js & lib/ol.css), provided by OpenLayers. We use this library when you set your block to use OpenLayers (default). You can find the source files on the OpenLayers GitHub. OpenStreetMap: When you select the OpenLayers engine, a default map tile server is used, which is provided by OpenStreetMap. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on to render your map. They may also make use of MapBox for some of their assets. Google Maps API: If you decide to use Google Maps as your map engine, we will include the Google Maps API as a 3rd party service provider that we rely on to render your maps. In this case, admin map previews are still rendered by OpenLayers and OpenStreetMap. Nominatim (OpenStreetMap): If you perform an address search within the admin area, we will make use of the OpenStreetMap Nominatim to lookup locations and suggest addresses to you. This is a 3rd party service provider that we rely on for address searches.
