SmartUpWorld Post Slider

SmartUpWorld Post Slider lets you display your WordPress posts in a beautiful, responsive carousel using a simple shortcode — no coding required.

Features:

• Simple shortcode — paste it anywhere: posts, pages, widgets, templates
• Responsive — 1 column on mobile, 2 on tablet, 3 on desktop
• Optional section header with eyebrow pill, title, gradient underline, and subtitle
• Filter by category slug or ID
• Show specific posts by ID
• Exclude the current post (perfect for single post templates)
• Navigation arrows with SVG icons
• Pagination dots
• Autoplay with hover-pause
• Lazy loading on images after the first slide (LCP-safe eager loading on slide 1)
• Full ARIA accessibility — labelled buttons, dots, keyboard support
• No configuration needed — works out of the box
• Bundled Owl Carousel — no CDN dependency
• Lightweight — assets only load where the shortcode is used

Basic usage:

[suwps_post_slider]

With a header:

[suwps_post_slider eyebrow="From The Blog" title="Latest Insights" subtitle="Practical guides on website care, speed and security."]

For single post templates (exclude current, no arrows):

[suwps_post_slider title="Related Articles" count="6" skip="current" nav="false" underline="false"]
