Create touch-enabled, mobile- friendly **sliders and carousels** — hero sliders, image sliders, post carousels, logo sliders, testimonial sliders, video sliders, free-form content sliders, and before/after image comparisons — directly inside the block editor, without writing a single line of code. From a simple image carousel to a dynamic blog post slider, SlideVerse gives you native Gutenberg blocks and a full set of responsive design controls to build exactly what you need. [Visit the SlideVerse website](https://wpxero.com/plugins/slideverse/) for documentation and demos. #### Slider & Carousel Blocks Included SlideVerse adds nine purpose-built slider blocks (plus two helper blocks) to the editor: #### Base Slider & Hero Carousel Build hero and banner sliders from a pre-built slide structure — title, subtitle, description, and a call-to-action button over a background image. Add a colour overlay, set horizontal and vertical content alignment, choose a responsive slide height, and pick a slide or fade transition. #### Image Slider & Photo Carousel A versatile image carousel for galleries, portfolios, product shots, and brand assets. Show captions below the image or as a hover overlay, add hover tooltips, and give each image its own link with an open-in-new-tab option. #### Flexi Content Slider Build each slide out of **any Gutenberg blocks** — images, headings, buttons, groups, or columns — using the companion _Flexi Content Slide_ block. Choose Auto, Fixed, or Minimum slide height for complete creative freedom over a Swiper-powered carousel. #### Infinite Slider (Marquee) A continuous, seamless scrolling carousel for logos, partners, text, or any content. Add **any Gutenberg blocks** inside each slide using the companion _Infinite Slider Item_ block. Supports grab/swipe dragging with smooth inertia, vertical or horizontal direction, and adjustable speed and spacing. #### Post Slider & Blog Carousel Automatically display your latest posts, pages, or custom post types in a responsive carousel. Filter by category, choose the order and count, trim excerpts, show featured images, and link to full articles — all configured without code. #### Logo Carousel & Partner Showcase Showcase client logos, partner brands, sponsors, or affiliates in a smooth, auto- scrolling carousel. Upload logos, control slides per view and spacing, and enable grab/swipe. #### Testimonial Slider & Review Carousel Build trust with social proof. Display customer testimonials and reviews with star ratings, author names, roles, and avatars in an elegant, responsive carousel. #### Video Slider & Video Carousel Present videos in a responsive carousel with thumbnail previews. Supports **YouTube**,** Vimeo**, and self-hosted videos, played right inside the card. #### Before & After Image Comparison Compare two images with an interactive, draggable divider — ideal for showcasing transformations, edits, renovations, and product effects. #### Why Choose SlideVerse? * **Gutenberg-native** – No shortcodes and no page builders. Everything works inside the block editor. * **Responsive by default** – Every slider adapts to desktop, tablet, and mobile, with per-device controls. * **Touch, swipe & grab** – Native gesture support on mobile and desktop, powered by Swiper.js. * **Full style controls** – Background colors, padding, borders, typography, and spacing — responsive, with hover states. * **Transition effects** – Slide and fade, with optional crossfade. * **Navigation & pagination** – Arrows and dots, with arrow position control. * **Autoplay** – Configurable timing, loop, reverse direction, and pause options. * **Efficient asset loading** – Each slider block registers its own styles and scripts, so a block’s assets load only where the block is used. * **Translation-ready** – Built with internationalization in mind (text domain:` slideverse`). #### SlideVerse Pro Everything above is free. [SlideVerse Pro](https://wpxero.com/plugins/slideverse/) is a separate add-on that adds: * **3D & creative transitions** – Coverflow, cube, flip, cards, and 18 creative presets for every slider. * **Lightbox & video popups** – Full-screen image galleries and popup video playback. * **Advanced navigation** – Fraction counter, progress bar, and a draggable scrollbar. * **Vertical before/after comparisons.** * **WooCommerce Product Slider** and a **Dynamic Content Slider** for any post type, taxonomy, or ACF field. * **Ready-made slider templates** and priority support. Pro options are listed in the block settings and marked “Pro”. Sliders keep working if Pro is removed; Pro-only settings fall back to their free equivalents. #### Popular Use Cases * Hero, banner, and full-width headline sliders * Image sliders and photo galleries * Product and portfolio carousels * Client testimonial and review showcases * Blog post, article, and news carousels * Brand, client, and partner logo scrollers * Video galleries * Team member and service sliders ### External services SlideVerse connects to external services only in the cases below. **YouTube and Vimeo (Video Slider only)** If you add a YouTube or Vimeo video to the Video Slider block, the video player is embedded from the respective service on the front end. These services may set cookies and collect data according to their own policies when the embedded player loads or is played. This only applies when you choose to embed YouTube or Vimeo videos. * YouTube Terms: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms — Privacy: https://policies.google. com/privacy * Vimeo Terms: https://vimeo.com/terms — Privacy: https://vimeo.com/privacy **Freemius (SlideVerse Pro licensing and opt-in usage data)** SlideVerse uses the Freemius SDK to manage SlideVerse Pro licenses and, only if you agree, to collect usage data. Nothing is sent until you opt in when SlideVerse asks (you can skip), or activate a SlideVerse Pro license. When you opt in, Freemius receives your site’s URL, title and language, your WordPress and PHP versions, the SlideVerse version and whether it is active, and your WordPress user name and email address; sharing your list of plugins and themes is optional. Activating a Pro license also sends the license key. You can opt out at any time. * Freemius Terms: https://freemius.com/terms/ — Privacy: https://freemius.com/privacy/ ### Credits SlideVerse is built on the open-source [Swiper.js](https://swiperjs.com/) library.

SlideVerse adds nine slider blocks: Base Slider & Hero Carousel, Image Slider & Photo Carousel, Flexi Content Slider, Infinite Slider (Marquee), Post Slider & Blog Carousel, Logo Carousel & Partner Showcase, Testimonial Slider & Review Carousel, Video Slider & Video Carousel, and Before & After Image Comparison. Two helper blocks— Flexi Content Slide and Infinite Slider Item — let you place any content inside the Flexi Content Slider and the Infinite Slider. ### Do I need to know how to code? No. Every slider is built and styled visually from the Gutenberg block editor — no shortcodes, templates, or custom code required. ### Can I put any block inside a slide? Yes. The Flexi Content Slider and the Infinite Slider both accept any core or third- party Gutenberg block inside each slide — images, text, headings, buttons, columns, groups, and more. ### How do I build a hero or banner slider? Use the Base Slider block. Each slide comes with a title, subtitle, description, and button over a background image, plus a colour overlay, content alignment controls, and a responsive slide height. ### Are the sliders responsive and touch-friendly? Yes. All SlideVerse sliders are fully responsive and support native touch, swipe, and grab gestures on phones, tablets, and desktops. ### Can visitors click an image to view it larger? With SlideVerse Pro, yes: the Image Slider, Infinite Slider, Logo Carousel, Post Slider, and Testimonial Slider get an optional image lightbox that opens images full-screen with previous/next and keyboard navigation. ### Can I add captions and links to slider images? Yes. The Image Slider shows captions below the image or as a hover overlay, supports hover tooltips, and lets each image link to its own URL, optionally opening in a new tab. ### Can I display my blog posts automatically? Yes. The Post Slider block fetches posts by post type, category, order, and count, and displays them with featured images, titles, excerpts, and read-more links. ### Which video sources are supported? The Video Slider supports YouTube, Vimeo, and self-hosted video files, with thumbnail previews and inline playback (popup playback with SlideVerse Pro). ### Will SlideVerse slow down my site? SlideVerse is built to be efficient. Each slider block registers its own styles and scripts, so a block’s assets load only on pages where that block is used. The Swiper.js library that powers the sliders ships with the plugin and is only loaded on pages that contain a slider — nothing is fetched from third-party servers. ### Does SlideVerse work with my theme? Yes. SlideVerse works with both block (FSE) themes and classic themes that follow WordPress standards. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SlideVerse – Slider, Carousel & Image Slider Blocks” is open source software.

Pro options appear in the block settings marked “Pro” and unlock when SlideVerse Pro is active. * New: Base Slider slide manager — collapsible slides with thumbnails, drag-and- drop reordering, duplicate, move and delete, a large background image picker, button links that search your pages and posts, and “Select Images” to create one slide per image. * New: The Base Slider editor preview jumps to the slide you are editing and holds autoplay on it. * Changed: 3D and creative transitions (coverflow, cube, flip, cards, creative), the image lightbox, popup video playback, fraction and progress-bar pagination, the scrollbar and vertical Before & After comparisons are now part of SlideVerse Pro. Without Pro, sliders that use them keep working with the free equivalents: slide transition, bullet pagination, inline video and a horizontal comparison. * Changed: The plugin is now named “SlideVerse – Slider, Carousel & Image Slider Blocks”. * Changed: Requires WordPress 6.5 or newer. * Improvement: Editor previews match the frontend on desktop, tablet and mobile, and every slider uses the same defaults in the editor and on the site. * Improvement: Deleting the plugin removes its settings and cached data. * Performance: Swiper ships with the plugin and loads only on pages that contain a slider — nothing is loaded from a CDN, and pages without sliders load no SlideVerse files. * Performance: Smaller editor scripts. * Accessibility: Autoplay pauses while a visitor hovers over or focuses a slider, and stays off for visitors who prefer reduced motion. * Accessibility: Logo Carousel images use the media title when they have no alt text. * Security: Block style settings are sanitized before they are printed as CSS, and custom CSS is only output for authors allowed to post unfiltered HTML. * Security: The Post Slider only queries public post types and validates its query settings. * Fix: An empty Logo Carousel no longer stops other sliders on the page from starting. * Fix: Empty sliders no longer leave arrows or blank space on the page. * Fix: Post Slider pagination dots now show when pagination is on. * Fix: Hovering a block in the inserter shows its description instead of a blank preview, and the Logo Carousel placeholder shows its name. #### 0.1.0 – August 26, 2026 * New: Base Slider block — hero slides with a pre-built title, subtitle, description and button over a background image, with a colour overlay, horizontal and vertical content alignment, and responsive slide height. * New: Image Slider block — image carousel with an opt-in lightbox gallery, captions shown below the image or as a hover overlay, hover tooltips, and per-image links with an open-in-new-tab option. * New: Flexi Content Slider block — build each slide from any Gutenberg blocks, with Auto, Fixed and Minimum slide height modes. * Improvement: The new blocks drive Swiper breakpoints from their responsive slides- per-view and spacing settings, so the tablet and mobile layouts match the generated CSS. * Improvement: Tested against WordPress 7.1. #### 0.0.10 – June 25, 2026 * New: Grab/swipe (drag) support for the Infinite Slider, with smooth inertia/throw momentum that eases back into the auto-scroll. * New: Grab/swipe toggle for the Logo Carousel. * New: Image lightbox/gallery (click to enlarge, previous/next, keyboard and Esc) for the Infinite Slider, Logo Carousel, Post Slider, and Testimonial Slider — all opt-in via a toggle. * Fix: Restored correct

document body. * Improvement: Added fill property support for SVG arrow color styling on the frontend. * Improvement: Fixed PHP deprecation notice for nullable type in CSSBuilder. * Improvement:
