<p>With Ajax Post Carousel you can display posts as a carousel using jQuery for animations. The widget only preloads a few posts and Ajax is used to load more posts as the carousel advances (this is very useful when you have hundreds of posts).</p>
<p>The featured thumbnail of each post is used for the carousel, so at least WordPress 2.9 is required. The widget can be totally customized using CSS. Only the basic styles are defined so the carousel works properly.</p>
<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Posts can be selected from a category, a custom taxonomy or a post type.</li>
<li>Configurable number of posts shown in the carousel and number of preloaded posts (visible posts + posts loaded in the background)</li>
<li>Posts can be loaded in random order or using the default order (From most recent to oldest)</li>
<li>Carousel can be an endless loop</li>
<li>Title and excerpt can be shown. Thumbnail is always shown.</li>
<li>Can be used as a widget, a shortcode or a php function.</li>
</ul>
<h3>BETA</h3>
<p>Be adviced we are releasing this software as beta software.<br />
Our initial intention is to gather feedback and collaboration.</p>
<p>After testing and approval the plugin will launch oficially.</p>
<p>Send us your comments to plugins@8manos.com</p>
<h3>HOW TO</h3>
<ul>
<li>Carousels can be added using Widgets, Shortcodes or a PHP function.</li>
<li>You can use the default styles included in the plugin or use your own css. Explained below.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Widget</h4>
<p>This is the easiest way to add carousels to your site. Just drag the “Ajax Post Carousel” widget to an available area and configure all settings.</p>
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
<p>You can use it to include carousels in your posts or pages. Add [apc-carousel] to use the default values.</p>
<p>All the options in the widget can also be used with the shortcode:</p>
<ul>
<li>random: Accepts 0 or 1. (default 0)</li>
<li>visible_posts: Number of posts visible in the carousel. (default 3)</li>
<li>init_posts: Number of preloaded posts. Equals number of visible posts + number of posts in the background. (default 9)</li>
<li>show_title: Whether to show the title of the post. Accepts 0 or 1 (default 0)</li>
<li>show_excerpt: Whether to show the excerpt of the post. Accepts 0 or 1 (default 0)</li>
<li>loop: Accepts 0 or 1 (default 0)</li>
<li>post_type: Slug of the post type. Accepts ‘post’, ‘page’, ‘all’ or any custom post type. (default ‘post’)</li>
<li>category: Slug of the category. (default ‘all’)</li>
<li>Posts can be filtered by taxonomy using: taxonomy-slug=term-slug</li>
</ul>
<p>Example:</p>
<p>[apc-carousel visible_posts=2 init_posts=8 show_title=1 show_excerpt=1 my-taxonomy=my-taxonomy-term]</p>
<h4>PHP Function</h4>
<p>The PHP function can be used in a theme template. The options and defaults are the same as in the Shortcode:</p>
<p>Ajax_Post_Carousel::show_carousel($random=0, $visible_posts=3, $init_posts=9, $show_title=0, $show_excerpt=0, $loop=0, $post_type=’post’, $category=’all’, $tax_filter=”)</p>
<p>$tax_filter uses this format: ‘my-tax-1=my-term-1&my-tax-2=my-term-2’</p>
<p>Example that returns the same output as the Shortcode example:</p>
<h4>Use your own CSS</h4>
<p>There are to ways to style the carousels using your own css.</p>
<ol>
<li>Copy the css file from wp-content/plugins/ajax-post-carousel/ajax_post_carousel.css into your theme directory and edit the copy.</li>
<li>Define your own styles in your theme stylesheet. Just use the carousel id, so your rules have a higher priority than the rules from the plugin (for example: #apc_carousel_0 .apc_thumb{border:none;})</li>
</ol>

<p>Lightweight plugin that adds additional inspector controls to block editor blocks that allow to animate the block once it becomes visible to the user during scrolling. The controls can be used to select an animation type (fade, flip, slide, zoom), variation (different directions), as well as delay, duration and more advanced settings. Upon changing an option the animation can be immediately previewed in the editor.</p>

<p>This plugin uses <a href="https://github.com/michalsnik/aos" rel="nofollow ugc">AOS – Animate on scroll library</a> and adds its’ stylesheet (<strong>2.8 kB</strong>) and script (<strong>5.2 kB</strong>) to the front end as well as a script that initializes the animations (<strong>1.3 kB</strong>).</p>


Animations for Blocks

I have used several plugins that offer animation blocks or similar. This one is the most straight forward Animate On Scroll wrapper for wordpress blocks.

Simple. That's why it's good.

I'm a bit of an "old school" developer and have been struggling to fully embrace Gutenberg/Block Editor.

I'm building a new Block Editor base theme for use on my client projects, and I wanted to include AOS. I was preparing to add the library directly in my plugin and trying to figure out how I would ever get it to seamlessly integrate into the Block Editor interface… and then I found this plugin!

It is perfect. It includes all of the AOS parameters, works on virtually any block (even nested blocks), and most important to me, it looks like it belongs in the Block Editor. Speaking as a plugin developer as well, I can't stand plugins that try to imprint their own UI elements all over WordPress. If you're adding something to WordPress, make it look like WordPress. Anything else is at best distracting, and at worst, confusing to end users.

This one is perfect. I won't spend another second trying to integrate AOS directly into my theme… I'll just install this plugin on any site that needs animation! Very well done, and I hope the user base grows so the devs can continue to support it.

This is how you do it.


Finally an easy to use block animation plugin! Thank you so much.


Amazing plugin!


I was considering building such plugin myself, but it is already made! Thanks to developers!Please update compatibility, people will not install this if they don't see compatibility with newest WordPress


Great plugin

Allows to add animations to block editor blocks on scroll.
