Carousel Block – Showcase Images in Elegant Sliding Displays vs Post Grid & Post Slider – Carousel, Filter Tabs & Related Posts

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.

One slider and one grid, both fully working – not a trial, not time limited, no feature nagging inside the settings. That is enough for most sites: a grid on your blog page, filter tabs so readers can narrow it down, and related posts under each article. When you would want Pro Pro exists for people who outgrow one grid. You would know if that is you: You need more than one. Different grids on different pages, each with its own categories, columns and colours. Free saves one configuration; Pro saves as many as you like. You want a layout with more character. Pro adds Masonry, Overlay and Magazine to the Default and List layouts you already have. Your related posts should be smarter. Match on tags or any custom taxonomy instead of categories, sort so the closest matches come first, and insert them under every article automatically without editing a template. You want to know what works. Pro records clicks per grid and per post, so you can see which placement earns attention and which quietly does nothing. No visitor data is stored – just daily counters. Your filter tabs need to do more. Any taxonomy, a dropdown instead of buttons, multi select, post counts, and a preselected term. You want the slider to do more. Vertical sliding, continuous ticker mode, 16 easing effects, AJAX pagination and social sharing buttons. One payment, no subscription. See the Pro version and live demos Get support
