Block Slider – Responsive Image Slider, Video Slider & Post Slider

The key features of this block plugin appear to work satisfactorily; some recent reviews said it was broken, but I think things must have been fixed.

There are some fundamental flaws, however:

- The amount of whitespace shown in the editor interface above/below each slides is massive, and it's extremely hard to figure out where to select each 'slide' to customise it. It could be that the "Min Height" control is meant to control this, but if so, it doesn't work.

- Selecting the slider block and pressing "add slide" adds a slide, but if you have a smaller monitor or many slider blocks, it's added off-screen, and you have no idea if the button worked.

- Unless a tabbed interface is added to control content entry into each slide, the "quick preview" mode should be the default state on page load (as opposed to the editing), because of the vast amount of whitespace and vertical area this block takes up, it currently seriously impacts the usability of managing content elsewhere on your page/post.

- A feature enhancement would be to opt-out of the left/right carousel arrows/buttons. I'm having to hide these with CSS.

- The integration with Gutenberg Hub (and associated upsell features in the interface) leaves a bad taste in my mouth; if this was just a slider block plugin, then why do I want it to pull in templates from Gutenberg Hub? I don't.

- The admin interface for the plugin is unfinished and looks amateurish; one of the screens have placeholder text, and the other screens seem to iframe content in from another site (the styling is off, and there are security concerns with iframing unknown sites in). I've decided to hide this entire screen on my client sites.

Promising but currently not a good editing experience

Does not work. Shows dummy message on plugin page.

its not ready for production site.

I wanted a lean sliding solution for gutenberg and this plugin is exactly what i've searched for. Installed the premium trial version from the website and will buy it as soon as it is open for sale.

This is exactly what i needed

This used to be a great little slider - it did everything that I wanted it, cleanly and simply, with the huge bonus of editing the sliders in the page.

Now, with the update to version 2, it's lost that major bonus. It didn't automatically recognise my original sliders, as they promised, so I had to recreate them and then I find that there's no block to insert them back into the page and the shortcode didn't work.

All in all a very disappointing mess that just proves the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!".

Should not have updated it

Very impressed with this little slider block, if you're using the Block editor this will make a good addition to your site. Nice, complete and modern controls. If you only need to slide one thing at a time (think mastheads or hero images) then the free version works really great. If you want to slide more than one thing then you might want to consider PRO. 

Don't listen to the one-star reviews - give it a try.

Great addition to my site


The free plug descripiton here is highly misleading. It promotes all the pro features as if they are included. They are not. I like that the UI and the way you add sliders/slides is easy but the misleading nature of the description makes me want to use something else. 


Highly Misleading


You can't create a slider and add a block to it. Which by the name you'd assume you can do.  What even is this plugin?  It doesn't do anything.  


Can't do anything with this plugin

Create Responsive Sliders using WordPress Blocks. Image slider, video slider, YouTube slider, post slider, product slider, WooCommerce slider & more.
