Image Slider Block

by Anna Schneider

4.5
(8 ratings)

Create a fully responsive image slider as a native block — and nothing more. One simple block with everything it needs.

Version 3.0 removes jQuery and the slick carousel library entirely. The slider is now powered by native CSS scroll-snapping and a tiny script, so it is faster, works before JavaScript loads, and its assets are only loaded on pages that actually contain a slider.

Features:

  • Simple image slider with fade or scroll effect
  • Autoplay with separate “time between slides” and transition speed settings, plus pause on hover
  • Optional arrow and dot navigation
  • Optional infinite looping
  • Crop images to a uniform ratio, or keep natural sizes with adaptive height
  • Image linking to the media file, attachment page or a custom URL
  • Choose the image resolution used in the slider
  • Accessible: play/pause button, keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, respects reduced-motion preferences
  • Lightweight: no jQuery, no external libraries, assets load only where the block is used
