Each Configuration Field in Detail

Step by step instructions available!

There is a detailed ste-by-step guide to creating carousel slideshows in the recipe section.

Container Element

Element width

Using this field you can restrict the carousel’s width on large devices. This is handy if your images are not high resolution or if the slideshow would grow very tall depending on your Aspect ratio choice.

This field will have no effect on viewports less than 960 pixels wide.

Aspect ratio of the carousel

Here you can either choose a global aspect ratio for all contained slides or use their respective image settings.

Carousel autoplay

Choose whether the child items should slide automatically or not.

Slide interval

The time in milliseconds each slide is shown before sliding in the next one. The default value is 5 seconds.

Set heading value

Choose the correct heading value for the slides, usually one level lower than the carousel container’s heading.

Size & Aspect matter

Be sure that all your images have the same size and aspect ratio and that your carousel aspect ratio matches your pictures!

If you chose a carousel aspect ratio different to that of your pictures, they’re cropped to fit which may lead to unwanted and possibly unfavourably cut images. 

Carousel Item Element

The options of the Carousel Item element are straight-forward, there are no options to further customize the slides.

None of the fields is required.
