WP Swiper adds a flexible carousel block to the WordPress editor. Each slide accepts standard nested blocks, so you can combine images, headings, buttons, video, and other block content without using a separate page builder.
Highlights
- Build slides with nested WordPress blocks.
- Choose from seven editable in-block starter templates without adding extra block types.
- Create horizontal or vertical responsive carousels.
- Configure navigation, pagination, autoplay, loop mode, free mode, and transition effects.
- Set responsive breakpoints, spacing, offsets, and slides per view.
- Add background images, focal points, overlays, thumbnails, and custom navigation icons.
- Drag image files into the editor to create slides.
- Load frontend assets only when a slider is detected, with an optional global-loading setting for custom setups.
- Use the bundled Swiper 14 runtime without a jQuery dependency.
Accessibility
Since version 1.4.6, WP Swiper removes non-visible slides from the accessibility tree and keyboard tab order. Focusable content is restored when its slide becomes visible, including in responsive layouts that display multiple slides.
This behavior addresses one carousel accessibility barrier, but it is not a certification that WP Swiper or a website using it conforms to WCAG. Conformance must be evaluated for the complete published page and depends on the carousel configuration, slide content, theme, and other integrations.
Site authors remain responsible for accessible content and configuration. Provide meaningful image alternatives, logical headings, readable contrast, and clear control labels. If autoplay is enabled, enable the pause/play control so users can stop rotation. Rotation stops when keyboard focus enters the carousel and restarts only after an explicit user request. See the W3C carousel accessibility guidance .
Privacy
WP Swiper does not include analytics, advertising, tracking, or telemetry. Images selected through the editor are handled by the standard WordPress Media Library and REST API.
