How to Create Elementor Custom Post Type Carousel Slider?

Table Of Content

A carousel keeps a listing compact – visitors scroll or click through cards horizontally instead of scrolling the whole page down a long grid.

Dynamic Listing’s Carousel layout turns any custom post type query into a slider, with the same Style card designs used by Grid/Masonry/Metro.

For the full settings tour of the Dynamic Listing widget, see Dynamic Listing Widget Settings Overview.

Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.

Before You Start

  • Prerequisite: Elementor (free) installed and active.
  • Edition: Dynamic Listing is a Pro widget – it needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro installed and its license activated. It will not appear in the free plugin.
  • Widget to enable: go to The Plus Addons > Widgets, search for Dynamic Listing and turn its toggle on.

Steps

  • Add the Dynamic Listing widget to the page.
  • Set Post Type under Content Source to the custom post type you want.
  • Under Content Layout, set Layout to Carousel.

The Style tab’s Carousel Options section then controls navigation arrows, dots, autoplay, slide speed and how many cards are visible per slide at each breakpoint.
