Carousel Block Pro: From Images to Interactive Slides

Carousel Block Pro extends the Carousel Block for Gutenberg with more ways to present pictures and control slide movement. Set up the carousel visually in the editor: add images, reorder slides, then adjust settings in the block sidebar. The base block includes captions and slide links, responsive width, height and column options, autoplay, navigation, pagination, and Slide, Fade and Creative transitions.

Choose how users move through slides

Enable touch movement for gesture navigation, or use mousewheel sliding. Free Mode lets users drag slides freely, with optional sticky behavior. A lightbox opens a slide image for a closer view. You can also put the slide link on its caption, adding a link action to the caption area.

Autoplay settings let you disable playback after interaction, pause it when the pointer enters the carousel, reverse its direction, or stop on the last slide.

Select a transition and navigation style

Choose Cube, Coverflow, Flip or Cards effects alongside the Slide, Fade and Creative transitions in the base block. On tablet and mobile, set pagination and navigation to display or hide independently. Dynamic bullets offer another pagination style for carousels with several slides.

Adjust captions and responsive layout

Show captions on hover, place them outside the picture, and adjust their vertical alignment. Caption typography, text alignment, overlay and text colors, background color and padding provide further styling controls. Set carousel width, height and column count separately for desktop, tablet and mobile.

Use the block for photo galleries, client logo strips, portfolio projects or linked promotional banners.
