Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Groundworx Carousel
Yes! The Carousel block supports all Gutenberg inner blocks. Add images, text, buttons, groups, covers, or any custom blocks as slides. Each Slide block is a flex container that accepts any inner content.
Absolutely. The carousel includes full touch and swipe support for mobile and tablet devices powered by Embla Carousel. You can also configure different behaviors per breakpoint or disable the carousel entirely on larger screens.
Yes! Use the responsive grid fallback feature. In the block settings, configure each breakpoint (tablet, laptop, desktop) to display as a grid instead of a carousel. This is perfect for responsive design strategies where you want a carousel on mobile but a grid layout on desktop.
Use the block settings panel (sidebar) to configure: * Carousel type (slide or loop) * Number of slides to show per page at each breakpoint * Slide width (manual count or auto width) * Autoplay toggle * Navigation arrows and pagination visibility * Arrow style (11 options) * Pagination style (9 options) * Progress bar and counter toggles * Colors for all UI elements * Responsive behaviors per breakpoint
The plugin includes 9 professionally designed templates: * Default - Classic layout with standard navigation * Default Alt - Alternative classic layout * Simple - Minimalist design, center-aligned content * Simple Left - Minimalist with left-aligned content * Simple Right - Minimalist with right-aligned content * Overlay - Content overlaid on images with gradient * Overlay Alt - Alternative overlay design * Partial Overlay - Split layout with partial overlay * Partial Overlay Alt - Alternative partial overlay Developers can add custom templates using the groundworx.carousel.templates filter hook.
Choose from professionally designed options: Arrow Styles (11 options): arrow, chevron, chevronRounded, halfArrow, play, playRounded, sharpChevron, thinChevron, thinChevronRounded, triangle, triangleRounded Pagination Styles (9 options): circle, circleOutline, square, squareOutline, diamond, diamondOutline, rectangle, rectangleOutline, number Each style can be customized with your theme colors.
The carousel uses 5 responsive breakpoints plus a mobile/default base with a mobile-first approach: * Mobile/Default: 0-479px (base styles) * Large Phone: 480px and up * Tablet: 680px and up * Laptop: 1080px and up * Desktop: 1280px and up * Large Desktop: 1440px and up Settings cascade from mobile to larger screens. Configure each breakpoint independently or let settings inherit from smaller breakpoints.
Yes! Developers can register custom block variations using wp.blocks.registerBlockVariation() and pass carousel configuration options via the carouselOptions attribute. See the Developer Notes section for examples.
Yes. The carousel follows accessibility best practices: * Proper ARIA labels and roles (aria-label, aria-live, role="presentation") * Keyboard navigation support (arrow keys, Enter, Space, Tab) * Focus management with visible focus indicators * Screen reader compatibility with live regions * Semantic HTML structure * WCAG 2.1 AA compliant
The plugin is optimized for performance: * Lightweight Embla Carousel engine with minimal footprint * WordPress Interactivity API for efficient reactive updates * Conditional asset loading (only loads on pages with carousels) * Support for lazy loading images * No jQuery dependency * Modern ES module architecture
