<p>Current User Posts lets you display posts created by the logged in user automatically in a block theme.</p>
<p>This block is essential for creating member’s only areas on your website. Displaying the posts of the current user dynamically is an industry-standard feature of online membership sytems, and Current User Posts brings that to the Block Editor.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>A valid user id is required for this block to work, so it must be placed in a context that is only available to logged in users, i.e. only logged in users should be able to see the block.</p>
<h3>I see my posts show up in the block editor instead of the user’s.</h3>
<p>That means the block is working. Since you are the current user when working in the block editor, your posts will be displayed in the block. When another user logs in and views the block, they will see posts they created.</p>
<h3>Can I add, remove, or rearrange the inner blocks?</h3>
<p>Yes, any inner blocks supported by the query loop block are supported by the block.</p>
<h3>I’ve inserted the block onto my page, but I’m not seeing my posts.</h3>
<p>Make sure you have posts of the selected post type to display. If you’re selected pattern doesn’t contain a no-results block, you will not see a message alerting you that there aren’t any posts of that post type to display.</p>
<h3>The block says I need to log in to see my posts.</h3>
<p>This block is only meant to be seen by registered users of the website, i.e. they must be a WordPress user with a valid user account. Any visitor to the website who isn’t logged in to an account will not be able to see posts in the block.<br />
The block should only be visible to users after they have logged in.</p>

Carousel Slider Block for Gutenberg

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!

Almost perfect!

I tried several plugins and this one it's just perfect! Easy to use <3

Very simple and easy-to-use


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.


Excellent plugin for putting ANY blocks into a carousel


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


Nice and minimal

Thank you for a great little plugin.  It handles slides really well and the block settings are intuitive and allows for a lot of style variations and layouts.

I have a few ideas on how to further improve it.  Is is on GitHub?  I'd like to do a PR to contribute some code.

Some ideas for improvement:

- allow the slides to pause on mouse hover over the arrows or pagination dots.
- enable custom navigation by allowing a custom element with the right css to listen for click events.

Lovely little plugin
