## Description
The Divi Theme ships with one slider. This plugin adds four carousel modules to
the Divi Builder, so you can build sliders Divi cannot make on its own — without
touching code.
Works on **Divi 4 and Divi 5**, in the Divi Theme, Extra Theme, or the Divi Builder
plugin.

| [**Divi Carousel Pro**](https://divipeople.com/divi-carousel-pro/)
#### Four free Divi carousel modules
**Divi Image Carousel**
Turn any set of images into a swipeable slider. Captions,
custom links, hover effects and a built-in lightbox. Good for portfolios, galleries
and product shots.
**Divi Logo Carousel**
A client wall that scrolls. Each logo keeps its own width,
links where you want, and can fade from grayscale to colour on hover.
**Divi Video Carousel**
YouTube, Vimeo and self-hosted video in a slider, with
lightbox playback and your own poster images.
**Divi Nested Carousel**
Put any Divi module inside a slide. Build the slide you
actually want instead of filling in a fixed layout.
#### What you get
* **Quick Start presets** — pick a starting point, then adjust anything you like.
* **Linked carousels** — connect two carousels so one drives the other. That is
how you build a thumbnail gallery.
* **Slide Ratio** — crop every slide to the same shape so mixed portrait and landscape
images stop stretching the row.
* **Responsive by slide** — different slide counts, spacing and controls for desktop,
tablet and phone.
* **Real accessibility** — keyboard-operable arrows, screen-reader labels in your
language, a pause control for autoplay, and reduced-motion support.
* **Right to Left** — genuine RTL, including drag direction and keyboard order.
* **Loads nothing on pages without a carousel** — no weight added to the rest of
your site.
#### Built for the Divi Builder
Every module uses the same Content / Design / Advanced tabs you already know. No
new interface to learn, and no shortcodes to remember.
A built-in Module Manager lets you switch off any module you are not using, so the
Divi Builder list stays short.
#### Upgrade to Divi Carousel Pro
[**Divi Carousel Pro**](https://divipeople.com/divi-carousel-pro/) adds eight more
modules — Content, Card, Post, Product, Team, Testimonial, Google Reviews and Instagram
Feed — plus a Dynamic Loop carousel that builds slides from any WordPress query,
filtering, and WooCommerce quick view.
Your free carousels keep working exactly as they are when you upgrade.
## Installation
#### Requirements
* WordPress 5.0 or higher (6.0+ recommended)
* PHP 7.4 or higher (8.0+ recommended)
* Divi Theme, Extra Theme, or the Divi Builder plugin by Elegant Themes
This plugin extends the Divi Builder. It will not do anything on other WordPress
themes.
#### Install from WordPress
1. Go to **Plugins Add New**.
2. Search for **Divi Carousel**.
3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
4. Edit a page with the Divi Builder and search the module list for “Carousel”.
#### Install manually
1. Download the zip from WordPress.org.
2. Go to **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**.
3. Choose the zip, click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
## FAQ
### Do I need the Divi Theme?
You need the Divi Builder, which comes with the Divi Theme, the Extra Theme, or
the standalone Divi Builder plugin. Any of the three works.
### Does it work with Divi 5?
Yes. The same modules work on Divi 4 and Divi 5, and the right assets load automatically
depending on which one you are running.
### Which modules are free?
Four: Divi Image Carousel, Divi Logo Carousel, Divi Video Carousel and Divi Nested
Carousel. All of them include autoplay, looping, arrows, dots, swipe and full responsive
control.
### Is it really free?
Yes. No trial, no locked features, no nag screens. Divi Carousel Pro is optional.
### What does Divi Carousel Pro add?
Eight more modules — Content, Card, Post, Product, Team, Testimonial, Google Reviews
and Instagram Feed — plus a Dynamic Loop carousel driven by a WordPress query, front-
end filtering, and WooCommerce quick view.
### Will my carousels break if I upgrade to Pro?
No. Every free module exists in Pro too, with the same settings.
### How do I build a thumbnail gallery?
Add two carousels. Give both the same name under **Linked Carousels**, set one to
Main Carousel and the other to Thumbnail Navigation. Clicking a thumbnail moves
the main carousel, and the thumbnails work from the keyboard too.
### Can I change how many slides show at once?
Yes, per device. Set **Slides To Show** separately for desktop, tablet and phone.
### Can I turn off the arrows or dots?
Yes, and per device. **Navigation & Pagination** can show arrows and dots on desktop,
dots only on tablet, and nothing on phone.
### Does autoplay pause?
Yes. Autoplay stops when a visitor interacts with the carousel, and a pause button
appears whenever autoplay is on. Autoplay is off by default, because motion nobody
asked for is an accessibility problem.
### Will it slow my site down?
No. Carousel CSS and JavaScript only load on pages that actually contain a carousel.
### Does it support RTL languages?
Yes, properly. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and other RTL languages get the correct drag
direction, arrow order and keyboard order — not just mirrored text.
### Where do I get help?
Free support is on the [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wow-carousel-for-divi-lite/).
Pro customers get priority email support.
## Reviews
### [Created total havoc after implementing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/created-total-havoc-after-implementing/)
[pixelrage](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pixelrage/) March 12, 2026 1 reply
On Divi 5, enabling and inserting this plugin on the site caused numerous things
across the entire site to break including all counter boxes, and any box that had
a background pattern glitched where the box’s text sent behind the background pattern.
Huge mess. All of the above was fixed when the plugin was deactivated.
### [Sometimes unreliable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sometimes-unreliable/)
[RossMP](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rossmp/) September 7, 2024
I’ve spent many hours trying to get this to work for me, then the images started
displaying at random sizes despite all being the same dimensions. I had to copy
and paste the settings of another image in the Divi Lite settings window to fix
it. All the images had the same settings before, but something seemed to have upset
it, so I had to go back in and set it right again. Time will tell if I have problems
again. When it works, it looks good.
### [Not working with different sized images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-with-different-sized-images/)
[Enwikuna](https://profiles.wordpress.org/enwikuna/) May 8, 2024 1 reply
It’s nice that this plugin is included within Divi. Anyway, I don’t like the configuration.
If you add different sized images and set the maximum size of images, they are getting
cut at the top and bottom. Instead, they should change the height to a max height
which is an easy programming step. Until this is not fixed, I will not use it.

This plugin is broken for two weeks. Others have pointed it out over a week ago
and still no reply by the authors of this plugin.

Como ya han comentado, el complemento ha dejado de funcionar y ha generado conflicto,
los errores son los mismos que señala el comentario anterior. Ha tocado desactivarlo
y buscar otras opciones, estábamos a punto de lanzar el sitio. Una pena.

[alanrogers](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alanrogers/) April 23, 2024 3 replies
I’ve used this plugin on 2-3 sites but have noticed, as Sebastian has already said,
that this is now causing a conflict with the Divi Theme and makes it impossible
to access and edit website Pages. Everything else works OK (when the plugin is Activated)
so hopefully it will be resolved soon. Unfortunately I need to update the site so
will probably have to look for an alternative 🙁 Here is the error log – if of any
use to the developers…Error Details An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line

## Changelog
#### 3.2.1
Fixed
* Image Carousel slides showed the text “ETmodules” instead of the image
on Divi 5. The 3.2.0 responsive-image work rewired the slide markup and the `![]()
` tag was dropped from it, so every published slide printed the icon font name
where the picture should have been. Divi 4 sites and the Visual Builder preview
were unaffected, which is why it was not caught before release. * Image Carousel
lightbox did nothing on Divi 5. It opens from the image’s `data-mfp-src`, and that
attribute went missing with the tag above. * Image Carousel image design options—
border, border radius, box shadow, filters and spacing — had no effect on the published
page on Divi 5. They target the slide image’s class, and no element carried it.
Image Carousel slides on Divi 5 now also get the responsive `srcset`, lazy loading
and intrinsic width and height that 3.2.0 introduced for the other modules.
#### 3.2.0
**Please read the behaviour changes before updating.**
Behaviour changes
* Vertical, centred and auto-height carousels may render slightly
differently. The modules each carried their own copy of the Swiper configuration
builder and those copies had drifted apart; they now share one implementation, so
Logo and Video Carousels pick up fixes Image Carousel already had. * Navigation
arrows and pagination dots are now real buttons instead of divs, so they are focusable
and announced correctly. If you styled them with CSS targeting `div.swiper-button-
next`, update the selector. * Autoplay is now off by default, and stops when a visitor
interacts with a carousel. Where autoplay is on, a pause/play control appears with
it. * The Video Carousel no longer shows Ticker settings. It never had a ticker
renderer — selecting Ticker did nothing. Image and Logo Carousels are unaffected.
Added
* **Nested Carousel** — place any Divi module inside a carousel slide, so
you can build the slide you actually want instead of being limited to a fixed layout.***
Quick Start presets** — a preset picker in the module settings that applies a ready-
made configuration (layout, motion, navigation, density and RTL variants). Every
setting it applies stays editable afterwards. * **Linked Carousels** — give two
carousels the same link group to connect them. A carousel set to Thumbnail Navigation
drives the main one and highlights the current slide; two main carousels move together.
This brings back the Divi 4 thumbnail gallery, and unlike the Divi 4 version the
thumbnails are operable from the keyboard. * **Slide Ratio** — crop slide images
to one shape (square, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 or portrait) so every slide is the same height.
Mixed portrait and landscape images otherwise stretch the carousel to the tallest
one. * **Slide Width: Fit Content** — let each slide size itself instead of dividing
the track evenly. Useful for logo walls. * **Transition Easing** and **Dot Alignment**,
two Divi 4 controls the Divi 5 port had dropped. * **Navigation & Pagination is
now per-device** — show arrows and dots on desktop, dots only on tablet, and nothing
on phone where swiping is the obvious gesture. * Accessibility: reduced-motion support,
translated screen-reader announcements, and a labelled carousel region. * Carousel
Maker layouts can now be converted to Divi 5 — see the upgrade note below. * A Roadmap
screen in the plugin dashboard, where you can tell us which carousel to build next.
Fixed
* Image Lightbox did nothing in Divi 5. Magnific Popup was never loaded,
so the video popup and lightbox only worked when another plugin happened to load
it first — and even once loaded, the click never reached it. Both halves are fixed.*
Right to Left was cosmetic. The wrapper flipped but the carousel itself did not,
so drag direction, arrow order and keyboard order all still ran left to right. RTL
is now functional. * Carousels inside tabs, toggles and modals initialise correctly
instead of collapsing. * Editing a module source and regenerating did not update
what the plugin actually served, because generated files were only copied during
a full webpack build. * A duplicated 3.2.0 heading in this changelog; the second
block was 3.1.1’s.
Improved
* Carousel assets no longer load on pages without a carousel — previously
around 198 KB on every Divi 5 page. * Images use responsive srcset, lazy loading
and intrinsic dimensions. * Frontend scripts and styles are versioned by file, so
an updated build reaches visitors immediately instead of waiting for a browser cache
to expire. * Continuous integration now runs PHP linting, PHP coding standards,
JavaScript linting, generated-file and production-build checks on every change. *
Documentation corrected: this plugin ships four modules (Image, Logo, Video and
Nested Carousel), not two.
#### 3.1.1
* Fix: Critical Divi 5 conflict — plugin assets registered into Divi’s Dynamic
Assets pipeline could break the site-wide generated stylesheet (counters, background
patterns, module stacking). Assets now enqueue normally.
* Fix: No longer loads a duplicate Magnific Popup on Divi 5 (Divi provides its
own).
* Fix: Added direct-file-access protection to module files.
* New: PlugPress Suite section on the dashboard.
* Compatibility: Tested up to WordPress 7.0.
#### 3.1.0
* New: **Video Carousel** module — a Divi 5 carousel for YouTube, Vimeo, and self-
hosted videos with Magnific Popup lightbox playback and per-slide title, alt
text, and play-icon controls.
* New: Module Manager toggle now gates Divi 5 module registration. Disabling a
module from the admin dashboard removes it from the Visual Builder picker.
* New: Robust YouTube and Vimeo URL parsing for the popup player — accepts `youtube.
com/watch?v=…`, `youtu.be/…`, `youtube.com/shorts/…`, `youtube.com/live/…`, channel/
showcase Vimeo URLs, and bare video IDs.
* New: YouTube embeds now use privacy-enhanced `youtube-nocookie.com` for better
compatibility with browser privacy modes and ad-blocker detection. Iframe `allow`
attribute now permits `autoplay`, `encrypted-media`, and `picture-in-picture`.
* New: Plugin removal now cleans up all `dcf_*` options and transients via `uninstall.
php`.
* Improve: Admin dashboard (Modules, Free vs Pro, Overview) updated to surface
Video Carousel.
* Improve: REST `get_modules` response merges defaults so toggles added in newer
versions appear automatically for existing installs.
#### 3.0.7
* Fix: Removed a `LIKE` query against `wp_posts` from frontend page loads. Detection
of the deprecated Carousel Maker module now runs only in the WordPress admin,
with the result cached in an option. This resolves Bad Gateway / 502 errors reported
on hosts that monitor slow database queries.
* Fix: Legacy detection query now uses `$wpdb->prepare` and `$wpdb->esc_like` for
safer, standards-compliant query construction.
