What is SlideVerse?
SlideVerse is a slider and carousel plugin made for the WordPress block editor. It adds nine slider blocks — hero, image, content, infinite, post, logo, testimonial, video and before/after comparison — that you insert, fill and configure in the block sidebar, with no shortcodes, page builder or code. Slides per view, spacing and speed can be set separately for desktop, tablet and mobile; autoplay pauses on hover and stays off for visitors who prefer reduced motion; and slider files load only on pages that contain a SlideVerse block, served from your own site. SlideVerse Pro adds 3D transitions, a lightbox, a WooCommerce product slider, dynamic content sliders and ready-made templates.
SlideVerse Features
Everything SlideVerse can do — Pro additions are marked
Hero Slider & Banner Carousel
Hero and banner slides with a title, subtitle, description and button over a background image, with a colour overlay, content alignment and responsive slide height.
Image Slider & Photo Carousel
An image carousel with captions below the image or as a hover overlay, hover tooltips and a link for each image.
Flexi Content Slider
Build each slide from any blocks — images, headings, paragraphs, buttons, groups or columns — with Auto, Fixed or Minimum slide height.
Post Slider & Blog Carousel
Posts, pages or public custom post types with featured image, title, excerpt and read-more link. Filter by category and set the order and count.
Logo Carousel & Infinite Slider
A carousel for client, partner or sponsor logos, plus a continuous marquee-style scroller for logos, text or any blocks — horizontal or vertical, with grab-and-swipe dragging.
Testimonial Slider
Testimonials with star rating, author name, role and avatar.
Video Slider
YouTube, Vimeo and self-hosted videos with thumbnail previews, played inside the card.
Before/After Image Comparison
Two images with a draggable divider — ideal for redesigns, renovations and retouching.
Responsive & Touch-Friendly
Set slides per view, spacing and speed separately for desktop, tablet and mobile. Touch, swipe, keyboard and mousewheel control are built in.
Considerate Autoplay
Autoplay pauses while a visitor hovers over or focuses a slider, and stays off for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
Loads Only Where It’s Used
Slider scripts and styles load only on pages that contain a SlideVerse block. Every file is served from your own site — nothing comes from a CDN.
SlideVerse Pro
Coverflow, cube, flip, cards and creative transitions; an image lightbox and popup video; fraction and progress pagination; vertical before/after; a WooCommerce Product Slider; a Dynamic Content Slider; and ready-made templates.
Why WordPress Users Choose SlideVerse
What sets SlideVerse apart from other WordPress plugins
Made for the Block Editor
Every slider is a block you insert and edit in the same place as the rest of the page. No shortcodes and no page builder.
Every Slider Type in One Plugin
Hero, image, content, post, logo, testimonial, video and before/after sliders share one set of controls.
Self-Hosted Files
Scripts and styles ship inside the plugin. YouTube and Vimeo players load only if you add those videos.

If SlideVerse Pro is removed, your sliders keep working and use the free options instead.
