Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

A Gutenberg block for creating a simple slider using Slick Slider with core blocks.

It is compatible with the core blocks like Cover, Image, and more.

Simple Slider Block Plugin uses Slick Slider to create sliders from core blocks.

You can convert your blocks to a slider with Simple Slider Block Plugin.

Just add a new Simple Slider Block or Simple Post Slider Block and start creating your own designs.

Two blocks

  • Simple Slider – build slides by hand from any core blocks.
  • Simple Post Slider – design one slide and it repeats for every post in a query. Works with Post Title, Featured Image, Excerpt and the rest of the post blocks, and can inherit the query of the archive template it sits in.

Arrows and pagination

Seven arrow icons, seven placements (outside, over the slider, above, below, split around the pagination), plus shape, size, border and hover colours. Pagination comes as dots, expanding bars, lines, numbers or a progress bar, and can sit below, above, over the slider or vertically along either edge.

Templates

Ten ready-made starting points – hero, testimonials, logo carousel, team cards, product cards, gallery and more – each one already styled, and all built from core blocks so everything stays editable.
