<p>GM HTML Carousel creates a text or HTML carousel with infinite scrolling directly from your WordPress page. No messing with admin settings or entering content into a databse.</p>
<p>The carousel is implemented using simple shortcodes.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ol>
<li>Super simple.</li>
<li>Infinite carousel loop.</li>
<li>Carousel items are navigable. Desktop uses click navigation. Mobile uses left/right swipe navigation.</li>
<li>Simple shortcode attributes allow you to modify height, width and the delay between cycling the next carousel item.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Using the carousel shortcodes</h3>
<p>The carousel is displayed by using the [gm_carousel][/gm_carousel] shortcode.</p>
<p>You can add as many ‘carousel items’ within that shortcode as you like. These are just text or HTML blocks wrapped with<br />
[gm_carousel_item][/gm_carousel_item] shortcode.</p>
<p>You can include images, text styling and links. Pretty much anything you can put on a WordPress page.</p>
<p>The [gm_carousel] shortcode accepts 3 attributes:<br />
1. height: Sets the height in pixels for the carousel.<br />
2. width: Sets the width in pixels for the carousel.<br />
3. delay: Sets the time in seconds that the carousel will wait before displaying rotating in the next carousel item.</p>
<p>Here’s a complete example:</p>
<p>[gm_carousel height=175 width=600 delay=6]<br />
    [gm_carousel_item]Hi, I’m the first carousel item.[/gm_carousel_item]<br />
    [gm_carousel_item]And this is the second carousel item.[/gm_carousel_item]<br />
    [gm_carousel_item]Well, two out of three ain’t bad.[/gm_carousel_item]<br />
[/gm_carousel]</p>
<p>So this carousel will be 175px tall, 600px wide and each carousel item will be displayed for 6 seconds before the next carousel item is displayed. The first carousel item has the word ‘carousel’ wrapped in a  tag and will show up bold.</p>

<p>This plugin adds a new <code>Visual Editor</code> widget type that allows you to insert rich text and media objects in your sidebars with no hassle. With Black Studio TinyMCE Widget you will be able to edit your widgets in a WYSIWYG manner using the native WordPress TinyMCE editor, just like you do in posts and pages. And if you are a developer you may still switch back and forth from Visual to HTML mode.</p>
<p>For years the default WordPress text widget has been very basic and it required HTML knowledge to add formatting and images/media to the text. This plugin was born in 2011 to overcome these limitations. After a long time, in June 2017, version 4.8 of WordPress finally introduced a new text widget that included the ability to manage text widgets with the visual editor. The new widget available in WordPress core could now be used as a basic replacement of Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, but the plugin still offers some additional features, so it remains a must-have for advanced users.</p>
<h4>Basic Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Add rich text widgets to your sidebars and edit them using the TinyMCE visual editor</li>
<li>Switch between Visual mode and HTML mode (including Quicktags toolbar)</li>
<li>Insert images, videos, and other media from WordPress Media Library</li>
<li>Insert links to existing WordPress pages/posts or external resources</li>
<li>Support for shortcodes, smilies and embed in widget text (including preview)</li>
<li>Support for the Block-based Widgets Editor introduced with WordPress 5.8</li>
<li>Support for Customizer with live preview and quick edit</li>
<li>Support for widgets accessibility mode</li>
<li>Compatible with multi-site (WordPress networks)</li>
<li>Compatible with the most common multi-language plugins</li>
<li>Compatible with Page Builder plugin by SiteOrigin</li>
<li>Translations available in 20+ languages</li>
</ul>
<h4>Advanced Features</h4>
<p>These features are what makes this plugin better than the WordPress (4.8+) native widget:</p>
<ul>
<li>Full featured TinyMCE Visual Editor (the same you have for pages and posts)</li>
<li>Wide text area for an enhanced editing experience</li>
<li>Compatible with 3rd party TinyMCE customization plugins (TinyMCE Advanced, WP Edit, …)</li>
<li>Support for distraction-free (fullscreen) editing mode </li>
<li>Option to “Automatically add paragraphs” to widget text</li>
</ul>
<h4>About the plugin</h4>
<p>The story of the plugin was featured in a talk at WordCamp Europe 2018 in Belgrade.<br />
