About this plugin
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.
The carousel is implemented using simple shortcodes.
Features
- Super simple.
- Infinite carousel loop.
- Carousel items are navigable. Desktop uses click navigation. Mobile uses left/right swipe navigation.
- Simple shortcode attributes allow you to modify height, width and the delay between cycling the next carousel item.
Using the carousel shortcodes
The carousel is displayed by using the [gm_carousel][/gm_carousel] shortcode.
You can add as many ‘carousel items’ within that shortcode as you like. These are just text or HTML blocks wrapped with
[gm_carousel_item][/gm_carousel_item] shortcode.
You can include images, text styling and links. Pretty much anything you can put on a WordPress page.
The [gm_carousel] shortcode accepts 3 attributes:
1. height: Sets the height in pixels for the carousel.
2. width: Sets the width in pixels for the carousel.
3. delay: Sets the time in seconds that the carousel will wait before displaying rotating in the next carousel item.
Here’s a complete example:
[gm_carousel height=175 width=600 delay=6]
[/gm_carousel_item]
[/gm_carousel_item]
[/gm_carousel_item]
[/gm_carousel]
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.
