Descripción
SmartUpWorld Post Slider lets you display your WordPress posts in a beautiful, responsive carousel using a simple shortcode — no coding required.
Features:
- Simple shortcode — paste it anywhere: posts, pages, widgets, templates
- Responsive — 1 column on mobile, 2 on tablet, 3 on desktop
- Optional section header with eyebrow pill, title, gradient underline, and subtitle
- Filter by category slug or ID
- Show specific posts by ID
- Exclude the current post (perfect for single post templates)
- Navigation arrows with SVG icons
- Pagination dots
- Autoplay with hover-pause
- Lazy loading on images after the first slide (LCP-safe eager loading on slide 1)
- Full ARIA accessibility — labelled buttons, dots, keyboard support
- No configuration needed — works out of the box
- Bundled Owl Carousel — no CDN dependency
- Lightweight — assets only load where the shortcode is used
Basic usage:
[suwps_post_slider]
With a header:
[suwps_post_slider eyebrow="From The Blog" title="Latest Insights" subtitle="Practical guides on website care, speed and security."]
For single post templates (exclude current, no arrows):
[suwps_post_slider title="Related Articles" count="6" skip="current" nav="false" underline="false"]

How do I show specific posts?

idsattribute with comma-separated post IDs:[suwps_post_slider ids="12,45,67"]. This overridescountandcategory. -
Yes. Set
nav="false"to hide arrows ordots="false"to hide dots. Set both tofalsefor a minimal auto-playing slider. -
Does it work on single post templates?
-
Yes. Add
skip="current"to remove the current post from the slider results, ideal for a “Related Articles” section. -
Does it conflict with my theme’s Owl Carousel?
-
The plugin registers its assets under unique handles (
suw-owl-carousel,suw-post-slider). If your theme already enqueues Owl Carousel under the same handle, WordPress deduplicates automatically so the library only loads once. -
