StellaCodex Post Carousel lets you select WordPress posts, arrange them visually, and display them with a shortcode.<\/p>\n\n

Free features include unlimited carousels, manual post selection (search, add from a category, add by URL), drag-and-drop ordering, left\/right arrow navigation, responsive card counts, and design controls (cards per view, border, corner radius, image ratio, card title and date).<\/p>\n\n

Pro adds automatic sources (latest posts, a category, or a tag), autoplay (one-card and page-by-page) and continuous scrolling, auto-insert of a carousel at the end of post content (all posts or selected categories \/ tags), and carousel categories for organizing your carousels.<\/p>\n\n

The free version is fully usable without a license and has no carousel-count limit.<\/p>\n\n

External services<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin includes the Freemius SDK for optional usage analytics, Pro licensing, checkout, and Pro updates. Free users can skip the opt-in and continue using the plugin. No usage data is sent before an administrator explicitly opts in. When a user purchases or activates Pro, the plugin communicates with Freemius to provide licensing, payments, and updates.<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate StellaCodex Post Carousel.<\/li>\n
  3. Open Post Carousels in the WordPress dashboard.<\/li>\n
  4. Create a carousel and paste its shortcode into a post or page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    How do I display a carousel?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Create a carousel under \"Post Carousels\" in the WordPress dashboard, then copy its shortcode (for example [stellacodex_carousel id=\"s1\"]<\/code>) and paste it into any post or page.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I choose which posts appear?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. In the free version you select posts manually and drag to reorder them. Pulling posts automatically from the latest posts, a category, or a tag is a Pro feature.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What is the difference between \"Add from a category\" and a Pro automatic category source?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    \"Add from a category\" is a free editing shortcut: it copies the posts that are currently in that WordPress category into your manual list. A Pro automatic category source stays connected to the category and updates the carousel when posts are added later.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How many carousels can I create in the free version?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The free version lets you create an unlimited number of carousels.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does it work with standard WordPress themes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. The carousel uses a shortcode and is designed to work with standard WordPress themes. No coding is required.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I change the heading level or hide the title?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. The shortcode accepts optional attributes, for example [stellacodex_carousel id=\"s1\" tag=\"h3\"]<\/code> to set the carousel heading level, or [stellacodex_carousel id=\"s1\" title=\"hide\"]<\/code> to hide the heading above the carousel. Card-title visibility is controlled in Settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What does the Pro version add?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Automatic sources (latest posts, a category, or a tag), autoplay and continuous scrolling, auto-insert at the end of post content (all posts or selected categories \/ tags), and carousel categories for organizing carousels.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
