Updater beware. 1.0.15 totally broke my slider layout. They just all load vertically on top of each other now. Trying to diagnose/revert, but worth knowing in case it happens to you also.
Update: Excellent customer service. Plugin has been fixed. Thank you.

Basic Gutenberg block that lets you manually assemble other Gutenberg blocks into a slider.
There is a minor technical issue. I only see one of the two next/prev arrows, and that arrow overflows the page width by default when no padding or margin is applied to the slider.
The plugin is limited in scope to only allow creating slides manually. That mirrors the scope of the built-in suite of Gutenberg blocks nicely, but one dynamic feature I think would be appropriate is to load a configurable number of blog posts dynamically, optionally with filters applied.
The plugin author has been very quick to update the plugin, so this review may be outdated by the time you read it.

It is missing several basic Slick settings, though, like fade, centerMode, adaptiveHeight, variableWidth…

Carousel Slider Block for Gutenberg is the best slider block—ability to include any other blocks and configurability is excellent!

Went back to this simple gallery carousel after Modula wouldn’t show carousel after latest updates with theme. I keep having to find new carousels as various updates clash. This was fine. Even if it looks odd (thee clash I think) in my edit area it works on display screen page fine.

I haven’t paid the vendor any money to use this simple and easy to use block. I din’t install their site builder, just the block. And it seems to work straight out of the box. I say seems to, because I haven’t used it enough yet. But early indications are; that this is truly free and functional native block.

This is a great plugin and exactly what I was looking for, however, I have to agree with the other reviewer that talks about how the styles conflict with Kadence. Right now it seems to be just the arrow styles (like .slick-next:before, .slick-prev:before). You can see the arrow styles being overridden by this plugin when added to a page that is also using the Gallery block (in carousel mode) by Kadence Blocks.
I am also disappointed there is not at least one more breakpoint. Hopefully this will be added in the future.

Fantastic plugin that adds enormous versatility to my website. It’s simple and easy to use while giving me a huge range of ways to customize my sliders/carousels. Thanks, Virgiliu!

Great work on a neat, easy to use plugin. Works well.
I’d like to see future versions include options to set the padding between slides with your settings. Also the option to position the nav dots and the arrows. I am currently using CSS to override your defaults (eg put nav dots over the slider instead of under).

I just installed this plugin for a simple solution to be able to add any type of block into a slider. It’s a very needed feature and really should be a default block in Gutenberg IMO. My compliments to the author on recognizing this need.
Unfortunately I found two frustrating issues:
Issue 1:
If you’re already using other types of sliders that rely upon slick.js, there will be css conflicts. This plugin adds a lot of css directly to the slick selectors (ex. .slick-next). The problem is that this will conflict with any other slider using slick.js by overriding its styles.
What has to happen here is that the css for this particular slider needs to be limited solely to this block. I hope that the plugin author reads this and makes the change.
The main benefit of the plugin is its simplicity. But this issue with the css is an oversight that should be corrected.
Issue 2:
I’ve also discovered that this block will not function properly within a default Gutenberg row block or a Kadence Blocks row/section block combination. This is major drawback since using rows/sections is a basic part of using a block editor. I’m using Kadence Blocks and rely upon its row and section blocks for overall design structure.
Putting the above issues aside, this is still a very useful block and I hope the author will address these issues I’ve identified.

In a future update, I would love to see a SlidesToShow option with decimal intervals allowed. Any way you can make that happen or a workaround to make it work on my site?
Thank you for a great plugin!

Thank you so much for a fab plugin. It was easy to install and popped up straight into my block selector. I did some custom css, added a custom image size and voila, works beautifully!
Keep up the great work ??
PS no custom css or image sizes needed with this plugin, it’s just my OCD!

I searched and found a lot of plain gutenberg sliders, where i can put my own patterns in, but neither of them fixed my needs.
Until i found this slider. Awesome features, the use of Slick makes it easy to change the basic behaviour. Just perfect and exactly what i’m looking for. THANK YOU!

I’m kind of an “old school” developer who is being dragged kicking and screaming into the world of the Block Editor (Gutenberg). One of my “old school” ideas is only using plugins for massive functionality (think WooCommerce, The Events Calendar, Gravity Forms), and not for things I can easily build myself. (Kind of ironic, since I’ve also developed a handful of plugins myself that don’t follow that rule.)
Well… a week of fumbling around proved that at least in the new Gutenberg world, this is not something I can build myself, but I was still averse to using a plugin because in most of my past experience, using plugins with a narrow focus like this is that they a) aren’t narrowly focused enough (trying to do too much), or b) they get in the way with too much of their own non-standard, over-designed interface elements.
I can safely say this plugin does not do any of that. It feels like it’s a core part of Gutenberg… which it should be. I especially love (LOVE!) the fact that you can put any blocks into the carousel. That’s exactly what I wanted/needed. The design is simple, intuitive, and unobtrusive.
I also really like the fact that in the Block Editor itself, the carousel is just a simple horizontal scrolling block. Very clever way to handle making the content editable and still feel fairly WYSIWYG, vs. trying to actually replicate the carousel functionality somehow on the back end.
The only problem I ran into was that the previous/next arrows and dot nav were rendering weirdly, but that was my own fault — some of my custom CSS was interfering. Once I adjusted that, everything is perfect.
If you’re a long-time WordPress theme developer like I am, and you’re resistant to Gutenberg, haven’t learned React, and also are reluctant to start embracing more plugins… don’t be afraid of this one! I just wish I had found this plugin sooner.

I needed a simple image slider where I could easily set up basic things such as slides per view, responsive breakpoints etc. This plugin provides exactly what I needed and it simply works.
Thank you!

This is a great plugin that makes it easy to create sliders of images (like a logo carousel) to more complicated patterns like a slider showcasing a quote with image and text. Great work! Thanks for making including a professional looking slider component so easy!

I’ve tried several carousel plugins and the simplicity of this one is amazing. The way it works within blocks is almost prefect. The only improvment needed for my use would be to set multiple breakpoints in the way the single breakpoint is set currently. i.e. px width and no. of slides displayed.
Fantasic plugin, keep up the good work!

Finally a slider/carousel block that doesn’t try too hard and is still easy and fun to use. It just needs a few additional sidebar settings (like slide gap and maybe custom icons for the prev/next navigation) and it would be perfect.
Thanks, i know i will be using this plugin A LOT in future projects – and for that it has definitely earned a full 5 star rating!
