Carousel Slider Block for Gutenberg

Went back to this simple gallery carousel after Modula wouldn’t show carousel after latest updates with theme. I keep having to find new carousels as various updates clash. This was fine. Even if it looks odd (thee clash I think) in my edit area it works on display screen page fine.

I haven’t paid the vendor any money to use this simple and easy to use block. I din’t install their site builder, just the block. And it seems to work straight out of the box. I say seems to, because I haven’t used it enough yet. But early indications are; that this is truly free and functional native block.

This is a great plugin and exactly what I was looking for, however, I have to agree with the other reviewer that talks about how the styles conflict with Kadence. Right now it seems to be just the arrow styles (like .slick-next:before, .slick-prev:before). You can see the arrow styles being overridden by this plugin when added to a page that is also using the Gallery block (in carousel mode) by Kadence Blocks. I am also disappointed there is not at least one more breakpoint. Hopefully this will be added in the future.

Fantastic plugin that adds enormous versatility to my website. It’s simple and easy to use while giving me a huge range of ways to customize my sliders/carousels. Thanks, Virgiliu!

Great work on a neat, easy to use plugin. Works well. I’d like to see future versions include options to set the padding between slides with your settings. Also the option to position the nav dots and the arrows. I am currently using CSS to override your defaults (eg put nav dots over the slider instead of under).

I just installed this plugin for a simple solution to be able to add any type of block into a slider. It’s a very needed feature and really should be a default block in Gutenberg IMO. My compliments to the author on recognizing this need. Unfortunately I found two frustrating issues: Issue 1: If you’re already using other types of sliders that rely upon slick.js, there will be css conflicts. This plugin adds a lot of css directly to the slick selectors (ex. .slick-next). The problem is that this will conflict with any other slider using slick.js by overriding its styles. What has to happen here is that the css for this particular slider needs to be limited solely to this block. I hope that the plugin author reads this and makes the change. The main benefit of the plugin is its simplicity. But this issue with the css is an oversight that should be corrected. Issue 2: I’ve also discovered that this block will not function properly within a default Gutenberg row block or a Kadence Blocks row/section block combination. This is major drawback since using rows/sections is a basic part of using a block editor. I’m using Kadence Blocks and rely upon its row and section blocks for overall design structure. Putting the above issues aside, this is still a very useful block and I hope the author will address these issues I’ve identified.
