CCI Posts Carousel All In One gives you a visual editor to choose your content, arrange your slides and preview the result. Add your saved carousel with a Gutenberg block or shortcode, then reuse it across your site. Change it once and every place using it stays in sync.
Plenty to create with, right from the start
-
Two rows, one carousel. Show two rows of cards that move together. Keep one row on phones or choose two, with the existing shortcode and responsive column counts.
-
Show a second image on hover. Keep the featured image as primary and optionally preview another image from the content, WooCommerce gallery or your own selection. Off by default; touch screens keep the primary image.
- Keep selected slides first. Pin articles, pages or custom slides, then automatically fill the remaining places from your query. Published posts appear once, and newly matching content can join without editing the carousel again.
- Your content, your selection. Display posts, pages and custom post types. Pick categories and tags, or choose individual items for a hand-picked collection.
- A visual editor with a live preview. Arrange slides by dragging them into place and check the result before publishing.
- Layouts for large and small screens. Set responsive breakpoints and adjust how your carousel behaves at different widths.
- Templates you can make your own. Start with Default, Light or Simple, then choose the card details, title lengths and excerpts that suit your page.
- Place it where it belongs. Choose a saved carousel in the Gutenberg block or paste its shortcode. Create as many carousels as you need.
- Mix in your own slides. Add custom image slides for announcements, featured links or an editorial sequence.
- Help visitors narrow their choices. Add category or tag filters above a carousel.
- Put your custom fields to work. Use post meta or ACF fields for badges, button labels, links and images.
- Bring popular posts back into view. Use reading statistics from WordPress Popular Posts when that plugin is installed.
- Choose how it runs. Use Owl Carousel or Swiper, adjust navigation and autoplay, and control image loading and shared library compatibility.
The features above are included in this plugin. No Pro license is needed to start building.
A few ideas for your first carousel
Give your homepage a row of recent articles. Bring a set of useful guides together on a landing page. Create a hand-picked selection of pages for visitors who are new to your site. Or display WooCommerce products as linked content cards to help people browse your shop.
Browse the live examples and find a starting point for your own site. Some examples use Pro features or optional extensions; the screenshots below identify them.
Take it further with Pro
When your carousel becomes part of the shopping experience, CCI Posts Carousel All In One Pro adds:
- WooCommerce shopping cards with current prices, sale labels, ratings and Add to cart actions, plus bestseller and top-rated selections.
- Commerce Luxe and Story Commerce for product presentations and shopping stories.
- Video Showcase for a video player with an accompanying playlist.
- Elementor integration to place carousels while building your pages.
- Engagement reports to see how visitors interact with your carousels.
- Autoplay progress indicators and tools for working across WordPress Multisite.
These features come together in one Pro plugin, installed alongside this one. WooCommerce prices and buying actions require Pro; standard linked product cards do not.

External services
Product news and catalog
The plugin admin fetches news, templates and integrations from Cool Cat Ideas when its cached catalog needs refreshing. Requests include the product identifier, language and news limit. The service receives the server IP; catalog image hosts receive the browser IP and request headers. Feed requests do not add the site URL or WordPress version. Your saved carousels keep working if the service is unavailable. Privacy policy | Store terms.
Optional feedback
Only when you accept the review consent and click Save feedback, the plugin sends your rating and comment to Cool Cat Ideas for moderation. The submission includes product and site context (versions, platform, website URL, language, environment and Pro status), the admin section, time, review-page preferences, consent details and a duplicate-prevention hash. Privacy policy.
Optional icon CDN
Icons are local by default. Choosing CDN in compatibility settings loads Font Awesome from BootstrapCDN or Tabler Icons from jsDelivr. These hosts receive the browser IP and request headers, potentially including the referrer. CDN service | Privacy policy | Terms of use.
