What your Post Carousel plugin does

A focused Elementor widget that pulls posts from WordPress into a carousel. You choose which posts, what shows on each card and how it moves.

Posts as cards
Each card shows the featured image and title.
Meta and excerpt
Add the date, author, category and a short excerpt.
Choose the posts
Pick a category, a number of posts and the order.
One settings page
Its own item in your WordPress admin menu, so options are easy to find and change.
Good to know: It shows standard WordPress posts. Custom post types and custom fields can be added if you say so in the plan, but are not assumed.

Tell Ora what you need. Check the plan before you pay.

Describe your Elementor Post Carousel Plugin in your own words. Ora replies with a plan and a price. Nothing is built until you approve it.

Questions

Is there a free Elementor post carousel plugin?

Yes, free ones may exist. Build your own when you want exact behavior and nothing extra.

Can it show posts from one category?

Yes. You pick the category, how many posts to show and the order, such as newest first.

Do I need Elementor?

Yes. This plugin is built for Elementor and adds a post carousel widget to the Elementor editor, so your site needs Elementor. You don't need to buy Happy Addons Pro.

Can I get a refund?

The trial fee is refunded automatically if a build fails. A purchased plugin can be refunded within 14 days if it doesn't do what the approved plan said and Ora can't fix it, as long as it hasn't been downloaded or installed.
