The Content Slideshow Block is available in the Organic Blocks Bundle. Using the block, it’s simple to create customizable slideshows on any page using the WordPress 5+ Gutenberg editor. Additionally, the block features several options for modifying the style, colors, display, and more.

Getting Started

The Content Slideshow Block is the easiest way to create content sliders in WordPress! To get started, add the block to any page or post using the block editor. Search “Organic” or “Slideshow” within your list of available blocks. Once you’ve added the block, select the desired post type and taxonomy. Then, click the “Done” button. Afterwards, the slideshow will render within the editor exactly as it appears on your site. Block options are available on the right to modify the slideshow settings and style.

The Content Slideshow Block displays the featured image, title, excerpt, and a “Read More” link for each slide. Additionally, it requires published content on your WordPress site in order to display properly. If you’re using a fresh installation of WordPress, we recommend publishing a few posts and applying a category before using this block.

Content Slideshow Block Options

Each instance of the Content Slideshow Block contains several options to change the appearance of your slider. Options can be accessed by clicking on the block within the editor, and modifying the settings on the right. Additionally, the options are divided into categories, and a description of each option is provided below.
