WebCodingPlace Post Carousel for Elementor

Description

WebCodingPlace Post Carousel for Elementor adds a single, deeply configurable carousel widget that lets you slide any post type, including WooCommerce products, portfolios, events, custom post types and taxonomy terms through ready-made templates. Pick a heading source from any post field or meta key, trim it to a word count, swap the read-more text and target, choose your image size, lazy-load thumbnails, enable social sharing and apply your own CSS, all from the Elementor editor.

External services

This plugin generates outbound share URLs for the optional Social Sharing feature in the carousel widget. When the Enable Social Sharing setting is turned on (it is OFF by default), the carousel renders a row of links that point to the share endpoints listed below. No data is sent automatically. Data is only transmitted to a third party when an end-user clicks one of those share links in their browser, and the only data appended to the URL is the post’s public permalink and post title.
