WeAreWP

<p>Most WordPress carousel plugins load heavy libraries (Slick, Swiper, jQuery) and fail basic accessibility checks. Screen readers can’t navigate them, keyboard users are stuck, and WCAG audits flag them every time.</p>
<p>Snap Carousel takes a different approach: <strong>CSS scroll-snap does the scrolling, proper ARIA attributes do the rest.</strong> No JavaScript library, no configuration panel, no learning curve — just a block style to apply in one click.</p>
<p>Built by <a href="https://www.wearewp.pro" rel="nofollow ugc">WeAre[WP]</a>, a WordPress agency specializing in accessible websites and RGAA audits. This plugin exists because we needed a carousel that actually passes our own audits.</p>
<h4>Supported blocks</h4>

</ul>

<li>Add child blocks (images, groups, columns…)</li>
<li>In the sidebar panel <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Styles <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> choose <strong>Carousel (3 items)</strong> (or another variant)</li>

<li>In the sidebar panel <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Styles <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> choose a Carousel variant</li>
<li>Publish — images scroll horizontally as carousel slides</li>
</ol>
<p>Navigation buttons and accessibility attributes are automatically injected on the front-end.</p>
<h3>Customization</h3>
<p>The carousel is designed to work out of the box, but you can easily override styles in your theme’s <code>style.css</code> or via the WordPress Customizer > Additional CSS.</p>
<h4>Disable the peek effect</h4>
<p>By default, items are slightly narrower than the visible area so the next item “peeks” in — signaling there is more content to scroll. To disable this and show full-width items:</p>
<pre><code>/* Disable peek — 3 items variant */
.is-style-snap-carousel > * {
    flex-basis: calc(33.333% - 1rem) !important;
}

/* Disable peek — 1 item variant */
.is-style-snap-carousel-single > * {
    flex-basis: 100% !important;
}

/* Disable peek — 2 items variant */
.is-style-snap-carousel-duo > * {
    flex-basis: calc(50% - 0.75rem) !important;
}

/* Disable peek — 4 items variant */
.is-style-snap-carousel-quad > * {
    flex-basis: calc(25% - 1.125rem) !important;
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Customize navigation arrows</h4>
<pre><code>/* Arrow color and background */
.snap-carousel-prev,
.snap-carousel-next {
    background: #0073aa;
    color: #ffffff;
    border-color: #0073aa;
}

/* Arrow hover state */
.snap-carousel-prev:hover,
.snap-carousel-next:hover {
    background: #005177;
    color: #ffffff;
}

/* Arrow size (default: 44px — WCAG minimum touch target) */
.snap-carousel-prev,
.snap-carousel-next {
    width: 48px;
    height: 48px;
}

/* Square arrows instead of round */
.snap-carousel-prev,
.snap-carousel-next {
    border-radius: 8px;
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Customize spacing</h4>
<pre><code>/* Gap between items */
[class*="is-style-snap-carousel"] {
    gap: 2rem;
}

/* Space above carousel (room for navigation) */
.snap-carousel-wrapper {
    padding-top: 4rem;
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Customize focus indicator</h4>
<pre><code>/* Custom focus color for keyboard navigation */
[class*="is-style-snap-carousel"]:focus-visible {
    outline-color: #ff6600;
    outline-width: 3px;
}

.snap-carousel-prev:focus-visible,
.snap-carousel-next:focus-visible {
    outline-color: #ff6600;
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Use with WordPress theme.json design tokens</h4>
<p>The carousel already uses <code>--wp--preset--color--base</code>, <code>--wp--preset--color--contrast</code> and <code>--wp--preset--color--primary</code> tokens. You can override these per-block in theme.json or via CSS:</p>
<pre><code>/* Example: dark themed carousel */
.snap-carousel-wrapper {
    --wp--preset--color--base: #1a1a2e;
    --wp--preset--color--contrast: #e0e0e0;
    --wp--preset--color--primary: #e94560;
}<h3>Technical Notes</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>– CSS overrides <code>flex-wrap: nowrap</code> on the Row container to force horizontal scrolling<br />
– Items use a slightly reduced <code>flex-basis</code> to create a peek effect (next item partially visible)<br />
– Navigation buttons are positioned <code>absolute</code> at the top right (adjust <code>top</code> value for your theme)<br />
– JS uses a 150ms debounce on scroll for button state updates and 300ms for screen reader announcements<br />
– Compatible with WooCommerce blocks (products, etc.)</p>
