Editing

When adding the image carousel to the page, you are by presented with a blank block to which you can select an image to add. By default, the first slide type is set to Image.

When adding images as carousel slides, you have the option of adding text to the right-hand side of the image. When images are added as a carousel type, they are also added as a fixed size.

The Add Slide button at the bottom of the image carousel block will allow you to add additional slides of either an image or carousel slide type.

Example of adding additional carousel slides. When adding additional slides in the WordPress editor, they appear in a stacked vertical order for ease of editing.
