Setup guide

  1. Open a page in Elementor, search the panel for Post Carousel and drag it into a container.
  2. Content › Layout: Card Layout, Slides Per View, Space Between, Autoplay, Autoplay Delay (ms), Loop, Arrows, Dots and 5 more.
  3. Content › Query: Posts.
  4. Pick a Card Layout: Card (image top), Image with overlay text, Minimal. Each one is shown below.
  5. Style tab sections: Card, Text, Arrows & Dots. Colours, typography and spacing set here are scoped to this widget instance.
  6. Publish. Every option is a standard Elementor control, so it responds to the editor, dynamic tags and global styles as usual.
Posts is a live query (source: posts). A "Posts" panel with filters, ordering and count is generated for it; results come from this site's data on every page load.
Conditional options: Autoplay Delay (ms) appears when Autoplay is yes.
Ships with its own JavaScript; it runs once per instance and re-initialises inside the Elementor editor preview.
