## 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)

## Installation

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

## FAQ

### 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.

## Changelog

#### 1.1.0

 * Security: all dynamic output is now properly escaped (button text, term names,
   image URLs).
 * Fixed: fatal error when Elementor Pro is not installed — the widget now falls
   back to basic query controls.
 * Fixed: multiple widget instances on the same page no longer re-initialize each
   other.
 * Changed: Slick assets are now bundled locally instead of being loaded from a 
   CDN.
 * Changed: assets are loaded only on pages that actually use the widget.
 * Changed: migrated to the current Elementor registration APIs (Elementor 3.5+).
 * Fixed: consistent text domain, translation-ready.

#### 1.0.0

 * First release.
