Any Block Carousel Slider

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

33 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 6 listed. 27 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #11,300 to #12,900, alongside the other plugins at 200+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 30 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just over 200.

At the current install trend, crossing 300+ in roughly 129 days.

   I was looking for a plugin that makes a slider possible for my custom post types and integrates nicely with Gutenberg. Without the need of defining sliders separately and without a lot of extra options I do not need. This sliders does exactly that. Easy to use and in my use case works like a charm.

   Really nice start. I’ve tried doing something quite similar, but this is a much nicer approach than what I’ve come up with. Few rather major gripes, though: Editor view breaks when enabling a carousel. Looks like it’s due to following CSS declaration::has(.abcs) { position: relative !important;}which messes the editor sidebar positioning / scroll. I’m not a huge fan of the pure CSS approach using ::scroll-button and ::scroll-marker as those are not yet supported by Safari and Firefox. Other than that I really like the idea and code looked good too. Keep up the good work!

   This plugin turns WordPress native Posts/Query Loops, Galleries and Group blocks into carousels very easily– with just a checkbox! No duplication of content. So far, I found this to be the only option for seamless carousels if you want to keep things native. An option to enable auto-slide would be a great addition. Also, if we could customize/add to the supported blocks for carousel enablement, then it could be even better.

   As a Native Blocks Carousel user, I’m impressed by how simple it is to turn carousels into Gutenberg. It’s the only plugin I know that truly converts any Gutenberg block into a carousel without compromises, while keeping every native feature intact. The interface is intuitive, the animation and navigation options are comprehensive, and the result stays fully responsive. Performance is excellent, and it adapts smoothly to any theme. Special mention for the clear documentation and translation support, which make multilingual setups a breeze. Kudos for this plugin—it delivers exactly what WordPress developers need: a native, clean, lightweight carousel solution.
