GutSlider Pro extends GutSlider in the WordPress block editor with specialty sliders, carousel layouts, and extra designs for its existing blocks. Add a block to a post, page, template, template part, or reusable pattern, arrange content in the editor, then adjust settings in the sidebar and preview the result. Existing free GutSlider sliders keep working, with Pro options available in the same sidebar.

Premium sliders and product carousels

The 15 additional blocks cover various motion styles and uses. Shader Slider uses WebGL transitions; Shutters Slider opens and closes like window shutters; Slicer Slider divides images into slices; and Triple Slider moves three images together. Other choices include Fashion Slider, Card Slider with stacked swipeable cards, Hover Slider that reveals an image when a user hovers over a title, Tinder Slider with swipeable cards, Spring Carousel, Panorama Carousel, 3D Carousel, Material Carousel, and Marquee Carousel.

For WooCommerce stores, the WooCommerce Product Carousel presents products in a slider, while the WooCommerce Product Categories Carousel displays product categories. Add either block in the editor and configure its presentation there.

More designs and media options

GutSlider Pro includes designs to the existing blocks: Static Slider gets Split Hero, Glass Card, and Card Carousel; Flexible Slider gets Split, Fullscreen, Stacked Cards, and Ticker. Testimonial Slider adds Center Cards, Avatar Switcher, Marquee Wall, Swipe Deck, 3D Coverflow, and Glow Cards. Photo Carousel adds Showcase, Polaroid Stack, Film Ticker, and Expanding Panels.

Before After gains Glass Handle, Rounded Card, Split Labels, and Dark Studio designs. Video Carousel adds Cinema, Playlist, and Video Cards. Blog Post Slider adds Overlay Grid, Featured + List, and Minimal Timeline. Marquee adds Testimonials, Image Strip, and Tag Cloud designs.

Video Carousel supports VideoObject markup, and Blog Post Slider supports ItemList markup. Pro also adds video lightbox playback, hover previews, silent looping backgrounds, custom thumbnails, and custom end times. Before After can compare videos in sync, handle several comparisons in one block with thumbnail selection, and use autoplay or fullscreen.

Motion, navigation, and responsive settings

Static Slider can reveal its subtitle, title, description, and buttons in sequence, using rising words, flipping letters, a blur effect, or a mask reveal at a slow, normal, or fast pace. The sequence replays on each slide and waits until the slider is on screen. Flexible Slider adds content animations and background effects.

Marquee can use up to three rows moving in opposite directions. Visitors can drag or swipe to move it; its motion can also follow page scrolling, reverse, or speed up as the page scrolls. Flexible Slider slide names can become tabs. Pro also adds per-device slide visibility, responsive background images, clickable slide wrappers, detached content, remote navigation from buttons elsewhere on the page, and thumbnail gallery navigation for Static and Blog Post sliders.

Slider controls include autoplay, looping, speed, effects, centered and free modes, and column counts. Navigation and pagination settings cover styles, positions, sizes, colors, and gaps. Entrance animations can be set for individual components with adjustable delays. Many layout, spacing, column, and typography settings have separate Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile values.

Editor and site behavior

GutSlider uses native Gutenberg components and supports keyboard controls, pause buttons, reduced-motion preferences, translation, and RTL layouts. Scripts and styles load only on pages that use a slider block; each such page gets one minified CSS file, and the add-on does not use jQuery. Swiper JS powers the sliding. A dashboard setting lets you disable blocks you do not use.

Typography controls include Google Fonts. Selecting a Google Font requests its stylesheet and font files on pages where that block appears; system and theme fonts do not make those requests. To build a layout, insert a GutSlider block, add or select its content, and configure the layout and responsive settings in the sidebar.
