Hi Armin,

I have a question regarding the fixed height setting in a carousel plugin. For a client, I set a fixed height of 630 pixels for the carousel, as it must always be exactly 630 pixels (using pixel values, not VH).

The issue arises in the mobile version , especialy for horizontal photos where maintaining the 630px height creates a large gap between the carousel and the next element. Unfortunately, I can't adjust the fixed height separately for mobile via a dedicated mobile layout, as any changes there also affect the desktop version.

Is there a way to override the fixed height for mobile using CSS? I’ve already tried testing different classes but haven’t found a good solution yet. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Armin, thanks again for the first fix. Unfortunately, I just noticed another issue. When I add a headline above the image as a series title, it displays correctly in portrait formats. However, when switching to landscape format, there is a huge gap between the previous page and the photo. How can I prevent this?

worked !
thanks alot !!!

Hi everyone,

I’m facing an issue with the pagination positioning in the Carousel Add-on when using a custom aspect ratio. I’ve set up a mixed carousel with both portrait and landscape images, ensuring that they scale proportionally within the defined aspect ratio (currently at 20:20).

Everything works well in terms of size adjustment, but the problem is that the page number (pagination) at the bottom right does not stay directly below the portrait images. Instead, it remains aligned to the right edge of the invisible aspect ratio container.

When using the default aspect ratio behavior (where images follow the aspect ratio of the first image), the page number automatically adjusts its position with a calculated margin-right, so it always appears directly below the image—even if it’s a portrait format. But with custom aspect ratio settings, this dynamic adjustment doesn’t happen, and the number stays fixed at the rightmost position.

Is there a way to fix this so that the pagination moves accordingly and stays centered under portrait images? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,
Is it possible to use a shortcode function in the image captions of the Carousel plugin? I would like to add a "Read More" option to the image captions in the Carousel. I already have a plugin for this, but the shortcode doesn’t work. I can’t properly integrate it, and it only appears as plain text instead of functioning as a shortcode. Is there a way to enable the shortcode option for the text editor of the image captions in the Carousel?

I Tryed : add_filter('wp_caption', 'do_shortcode');
But its probably not working with the wordpress native caption function....

Hi, is it possible to have the captions at the bottom of the carousel and the circles on top?
thx!!!

I've put a Mp4 video inside an element grid and it will not play on click - could you please help me with this?
Tried: Chrome, Firefox, Safari

With Autoplay it works - but without it does not - already tried to mute and activated all different combinations of the options available but nothing helped so far.

I am referring on the two videos at the videos section if you scroll down ..... (not the big video on the cover )
