Questions & Answers
- Can I display videos in a Carousel?
Carousel is only for displaying images from a standard WordPress gallery. It will not display videos. - Carousel is active but is not launching for my galleries. What’s up?
Please verify if your theme has some custom gallery functionalities. The Carousel will deactivate if it detects that the theme in use is overwriting the gallery shortcode, so as to not conflict with the theme. - Can developers extend the Carousel?
Theme and plugin authors have filters and actions they can hook into to force activate, customize and extend the Carousel if they wish, such asjp_carousel_force_enable,jp_carousel_enqueue_assets, etc.
