Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Accessible Carousel & Slider – WCAG AA Compliant Slideshow

There isn't one. All options live in the block's sidebar in the editor, which is the standard WordPress block approach.

Open the block inserter, find the "Accessible Carousel" pattern category, and insert any pattern (hero, showcase, minimal, features row, and so on). It drops in as ordinary blocks you can edit freely. To save your own configured carousel or scroller as a reusable template, select it and choose "Create pattern" from the block toolbar — that is a built-in WordPress feature.

Use the hero carousel for one large rotating slide at a time. Use the card scroller to show several cards at once (features, services, and similar) that visitors browse by scrolling. The scroller has no autoplay and uses native scrolling, which keeps it simple and accessible.

Generally no. Auto-advancing content is a barrier for many people. When enabled, a stop control is always shown and rotation pauses on hover and focus.

Yes. Slides display as a stacked, readable list when JavaScript is unavailable.
