The Carousel Anything widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor lets you create a continuous scroll carousel in Elementor. With the Infinite Mode setting enabled, the carousel cycles through slides without stopping at the last item, giving your image sliders and content carousels a seamless rotating motion.
What It Does
Carousel Anything’s Infinite Mode toggle makes the carousel wrap continuously: once it reaches the last slide, it loops seamlessly back to the first instead of stopping or requiring the visitor to click back to the beginning.
Requirement – Infinite Mode is a Pro feature. The Infinite Mode toggle is only available with The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro; it is not present on the free Carousel Anything widget.

Why It Matters
A carousel that stops dead at the last slide feels unfinished, and forces visitors to click all the way back to the start if they want to see the first slide again. Looping continuously keeps logo sliders, image galleries, and testimonial carousels feeling seamless, which matters most for content that’s meant to be glanced at repeatedly rather than read start-to-finish once.
What You Get
- An Infinite Mode toggle inside Carousel Options
- Seamless combination with Autoplay for a hands-free, never-ending rotation
- Compatibility with Center Mode, Vertical layout, and Shuffle (Slide Random Order) for more advanced looping effects
Benefits
- Seamless rotation – no dead stop at the last slide, no jarring jump back to slide one
- Works with Autoplay – the two combine for a fully continuous, hands-free carousel
- No custom JavaScript – looping is a native toggle, not something you have to script yourself
Capabilities
Infinite Mode is one of several Pro carousel modes living in Carousel Options alongside Autoplay and Center Mode. It changes only the end-of-track behavior (loop vs. stop); it does not by itself change speed or add animation – combine it with Autoplay for automatic looping, or leave it manual for a carousel that loops only when a visitor clicks past the last slide.
How It Works
With Infinite Mode on, the widget treats the slide track as circular rather than linear: advancing past the last slide wraps to the first, and (where supported) going back before the first slide wraps to the last. This removes the “end of track” state that a non-infinite carousel hits when Autoplay or manual navigation reaches the final slide.
How to Use It
Add the Carousel Anything widget to the page. After you have created your slides, go to the Style tab, expand Carousel Options, and turn on the Infinite Mode toggle to enable the continuous carousel loop.
The carousel will now cycle through slides continuously. This creates a smooth, uninterrupted scrolling effect that works well for image showcases, logo sliders, and continuous-scroll layouts.

Use Cases
- Logo sliders that cycle continuously through client or partner logos without a visible endpoint
- Image carousels and galleries where you want smooth, uninterrupted rotation
- Testimonial carousels that loop back to the first slide seamlessly after the last
Limitations
- Infinite Mode is a Pro-only setting; the toggle is not present on the free version of the Carousel Anything widget.
- On a vertical carousel, some builds can show a brief blank frame at the loop point rather than a perfectly seamless wrap (see Troubleshooting).
- Infinite Mode changes end-of-track behavior only; it does not add motion by itself – pair it with Autoplay for automatic looping.
Troubleshooting
- Infinite loop shows a blank slide before restarting instead of looping seamlessly. Ticket #14583 (“Infinite Carousel (Carousel Anything) is not Infinite”) – reported specifically on a vertical infinite carousel that showed a blank frame between the last and first slide. Double-check that all slides have real content assigned (no empty slide items) and that the slide count is high enough for the loop clone logic to work smoothly.
- Infinite Mode combined with a WooCommerce dynamic loop doesn’t show all items. Ticket #12100 (“Display not complete”) – a customer using dynamic content (ACF fields) in a looping carousel found some fields missing compared to a standard (non-Carousel Anything) loop; verify each dynamic field is mapped correctly inside the carousel’s repeater/loop item.
- Infinite carousel appears to freeze or stutter on window resize. Ticket #11955 (“Carousel Anything for Elementor stutter”) – give the carousel’s parent container a stable, non-auto height so the loop recalculation doesn’t fight with a resizing layout.
