It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when
used with more recent versions of WordPress.

## Description

#### This plugin is under development, and we apologize for the lack of updates. The development is ongoing, and we are planning to release it in May 2025! 🚀 Stay tuned!

**WP Posts Carousel** allows to view the list of selected post types in a carousel.
The plugin offers rich parameters of carousel display and post information, and 
provides better support for mobile devices. The plugin is equipped with a code generator(
allows to insert the carousel into content) and a dedicated widget.
 This plugin
uses [OWL Carousel](http://www.owlcarousel.owlgraphic.com/) in new version 2.0.0-
beta.2.4.

#### This plugin may require some others plugins or libraries:

 * **Font Awesome** – this library is included but you can disable it on the plugin’s
   settings page
 * **WordPress Popular Posts** – this plugin is required only if you want to display
   popular posts in the carousel

#### Now available in the following Languages

 * English (en_EN)
 * Polish (pl_PL)

If you need other translation or you would like to create some, please visit [crowdin.com](https://crowdin.com/project/wp-posts-carousel)
project page.

For more information, check out [PLUGIN HOMEPAGE](http://www.teastudio.pl/product/wp-posts-carousel/).

I will be grateful for opinions and reviews.

## Installation

 1. Upload plugin either via the your’s WordPress installation, or by uploading to 
    the /wp-content/plugins/ by FTP client
 2. Install the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Activate « WP Posts Carousel » in the « Plugins » using the « Activate » link.
 4. Go to the plugin settings page in the « Settings » menu.

## FAQ

If you’ve got any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

### I made a update from a previous version. What now?

 * If you’re using on your website shortcode from this plugin, the best way is to
   delete old code and generate it again.
 * If you’re using widget, you must update its options.
 * **Go to the plugin settings page and see if there are any notifications**

### How can I add custom theme?

 1. Now, you can add your custom stylesheet in your’s theme directory.
 2. If you don’t have « css » folder in your WordPress theme, you must create it.
 3. Then, in this folder create another – named « wp-posts-carousel » and now you can
    move custom stylesheets in there 🙂

Folders path should looks like this:
 /themes/my_wordpress_theme/css/wp-posts-carousel/
custom.css

### How can I use custom actions or filters?

From 1.1.1 version you can use your own actions and filters to overwrite values 
or html code.

Lists of actions:

 * wpc_before_item_content (1 parameter – $params)
 * wpc_after_item_content (1 parameter – $params)

Lists of filters:

**new filters for developers**

 * wpc_get_shows (1 parameter – $value)
 * wpc_get_orderings (1 parameter – $value)
 * get_descriptions (1 parameter – $value)
 * get_sources (1 parameter – $value)

**standard filters**

 * wpc_query (2 parameters – $value, $params)
 * wpc_item_featured_image_placeholder (1 parameter – $value)
 * wpc_item_featured_image (2 parameters – $value, $params)
 * wpc_item_title (2 parameters – $value, $params)
 * wpc_item_created_date (2 parameters – $value, $params)
 * wpc_item_categories (2 parameters – $value, $params)
 * wpc_item_description (2 parameters – $value, $params)
 * wpc_item_tags (2 parameters – $value, $params)
 * wpc_item_buttons (2 parameters – $value, $params)

Variable **$params** includes all plugin’s values and other variables that are required
to display.

e.g:
 To overwrite html of the title, you can create function in your functions.

Using a modified version of the Dazzling theme, this plugin was very flexible and
customizable for look and feel. The author was extremely fast and helpful in guiding
me through applying a filter to the carousel.

 [Morteza Rahmani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/parsilinux/) 3 Ctember 2016

Finally, a great plugin that uses owl carousel v2! 😀 I have a small suggestion:
You can add a parameter for RTL languages, as owl carousel v2 has RTL support. &
thank you so much for this great plugin.
