Custom Gallery Carousel

Turn WordPress galleries into responsive carousels without the jQuery bloat.

v1.7

WordPress galleries are fine as a grid but sometimes you want a carousel. This plugin transforms the native WordPress gallery into a responsive, swipeable carousel with minimal overhead.

No jQuery dependency, no massive carousel library, no fifteen options panels. It hooks into the standard WordPress gallery shortcode and adds carousel behaviour. Navigation arrows, dot indicators, swipe support on mobile, autoplay if you want it. Clean, fast, accessible.

If you've tried other carousel plugins and ended up with 200KB of JavaScript and a settings page with forty options, this is the alternative. It does one thing — turns galleries into carousels — and it does it in under 15KB.
