# How to Create Vertical Elementor Carousel Slider?

## 

- Carousel Anything widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor has a Vertical slider mode that stacks slides and moves the carousel up or down by one slide.
- The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro is required for Slider Mode Vertical, while the Carousel Anything widget itself is free and is switched on under The Plus Addons > Widgets.
- Desktop Columns controls how many slides are visible at once in vertical mode, and Slide Direction, Slide Animation, and Fade in/Fade out are hidden or unavailable.

Most carousels slide from side to side. In a tall, narrow space, sliding up and down often fits better.

The **Carousel Anything** widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor has a **Vertical** slider mode. The slides are stacked, and each move scrolls the carousel up or down by one slide.

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Pro** — Slider Mode Vertical needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. The Carousel Anything widget itself is free.- **Widget to enable:** Carousel Anything, switched on under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**.- **Slides:** one saved Elementor template per slide, created under **Templates > Saved Templates** and published.

## Steps

- Add the **Carousel Anything** widget and add your slides in **Content**.- Open **Style > Carousel Options**.- Set **Slider Mode** to **Vertical**.- In the **Desktop** tab, set **Desktop Columns** to the number of slides that should be visible at once. In vertical mode they are stacked on top of each other.

Publish the page to see the carousel move vertically.

## How It Behaves

- Slides are stacked vertically. With **Column 2**, two slides are visible, one above the other.- In our test the **Next** arrow moved the carousel up by one slide, so the second and third slides were shown.- **Slide Direction** and **Slide Animation** are hidden in vertical mode. A Right to Left direction that was set before switching to Vertical has no effect.

## Limitations

- Vertical mode is not part of the free plugin. In the free widget the option reads **Vertical (Pro)** and shows an upgrade notice.- There is no Fade in/Fade out animation in vertical mode.

## Troubleshooting

### Slide Direction is missing

That is expected: the option is only shown for **Horizontal**.

### Only one slide is visible

Increase **Desktop Columns** in the **Desktop** tab.
