Post Carousel Widget for Elementor Pro

Posts or custom post types in a touch-friendly carousel.

Overview

What Post Carousel does

Post Carousel shows posts, pages or any public custom post type as cards in a carousel. It uses the same query builder and card styles as Advanced Post Grid. Use it for latest news rows, related posts under an article, or a featured selection on the homepage.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Can I show related posts under an article?

Yes. Pick the matching terms in Include Terms and keep Exclude Current Post on so the article being read is left out.

Does it work with custom post types?

Yes. Source lists every public post type on the site.

How do I show a peek of the next card on phones?

Use a decimal in Slides Visible for mobile. The default there is 1.1.

What shows when no posts match?

The text in Nothing Found Message. Clear that field to show nothing at all.
