Ele Posts Slider - Any Post Type Slider for Elementor PRO1.0.3

Ele Posts Slider is a specialized extension designed to upgrade the native capabilities of Elementor PRO. Rather than adding a completely new widget, it serves as a technical enhancement to the existing "Posts" widget, transforming standard grids into interactive sliders or carousels.

As of early 2026, it is highly favored by developers who want to keep their WordPress backend "clean" while gaining the flexibility to showcase any custom post type—from portfolios and testimonials to products and team members—in a sliding format.

## Core Functionality

Native Integration: It hooks directly into the Elementor PRO Posts Widget. Once installed, you will see a new "Slider" or "Carousel" option within the standard Posts settings.

Support for Any Post Type: Unlike simple blog sliders, this tool works with Custom Post Types (CPTs). If you have created a "Movies," "Properties," or "Services" post type, you can slide them just as easily as blog posts.

Maintains Query Power: You retain all the advanced query settings of Elementor PRO, including filtering by categories, tags, authors, or manual selection.

"Skin" Customization: Because it uses the native widget, it works seamlessly with Elementor Custom Skins (Loop Builder), allowing you to design the exact look of each slide in the slider.

## Key Technical Features

Feature

Description

Carousel Settings

Control slides per view, slides to scroll, and spacing between items.

Autoplay Logic

Customizable autoplay speed, pause on hover, and infinite loop options.

Navigation

Choose between standard arrows, dots (pagination), or both.

Responsive Breakpoints

Define exactly how many slides appear on Tablet vs. Mobile devices.

Lightweight

It uses the scripts already loaded by Elementor/Swiper.js, minimizing additional page weight.

## Why Use Ele Posts Slider?

Pros:

Efficiency: It doesn't "clutter" your Elementor panel with another redundant widget. It simply makes the one you already have more powerful.

Consistency: You use the same styling controls you are already familiar with in Elementor PRO.

Dynamic Content: Perfect for modern "Bento-style" layouts where you want a small carousel of "Latest News" or "Featured Projects" in a sidebar or narrow column.

Cons:

Pro Dependency: You must have Elementor PRO installed, as it modifies the PRO-only Posts widget.

Limited "Fancy" Effects: It focuses on standard, clean carousels. For ultra-complex 3D or "Coverflow" sliders, you might still need a heavy plugin like Revolution Slider.

## How to Activate

Ensure Elementor PRO is active.

Install and activate the Ele Posts Slider add-on.

Open a page in Elementor and drag in the Posts Widget.

In the Content tab under Layout, look for the "Enable Slider" toggle and switch it to "Yes."

Configure your navigation and autoplay settings in the new sub-menu that appears.

Pro Tip for 2026: If you are using the new Elementor Loop Builder, this add-on is excellent for creating "Loop Carousels" with highly specific design requirements that the default Loop Carousel might not handle as gracefully.
