CalaSlide – Posts Carousel for Elementor

Description

CalaSlide adds a custom Elementor widget that displays your posts (or any public post type) as a responsive slider/carousel powered by Slick.

Features

Show posts as a slider/carousel with arrows and dots navigation
Choose what to display per item: featured image, title, excerpt, categories, read-more button
Control slides to show and slides to scroll, with separate desktop/tablet/mobile values
Full styling controls: typography, colors, spacing, borders, shadows — everything from the Elementor panel
Works with the free version of Elementor (simple query controls) and unlocks the full Elementor Pro query builder when Pro is active
Compatible with the Elementor Theme Builder
All assets are bundled locally — no external CDN calls

Requirements

Elementor 3.5 or newer (free version is enough)
Elementor Pro is optional: when active, the widget uses the native Pro query builder (include/exclude, taxonomies, related queries)

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/, or install it from the Plugins screen directly.
Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
Edit a page with Elementor and look for the Slide Post widget in the DC Plugin category.

Does it require Elementor Pro?: No. The widget works with the free version of Elementor using its built-in query options (post type, order). If Elementor Pro is active, the widget automatically switches to the full Pro query builder.
Can I show custom post types?: Yes, any public post type can be selected.
Can I use more than one slider on the same page?: Yes, each widget instance is initialized independently.
