Carousel/Slider for GenerateBlocks Grid
We have added options to Gutenberg blocks that enable you to create a carousel or slider using your preferred blocks.

To start using the carousel, go to the grid block and select the ‘Carousel’ or ‘Slider’ option in the ‘FrontBlocks Grid Options’ section.

Carousel/Slider attributes:
– Autoplay: automatically changes the slides after a certain amount of time (in seconds).
– View: the number of items to display in the carousel/slider.
Responsive view: the number of items to show in the carousel/slider in responsive view.
– Buttons: the type of buttons to display in the carousel/slider (bullets, arrows or none).
– Button colour: colour of the buttons.
– Button background colour: background colour of the buttons (can be transparent).

Enhanced WordPress native gallery
We have added options to the native WordPress gallery that allow you to create a different layout, such as grid or masonry, and also enable you to create a carousel with images that can be clicked on.

Animations for Blocks
You can add animations to the blocks you want. To do this, go to the block settings and select the ‘FrontBlocks Animation Option’ section. There you will find a list of animations that you can apply to the block.

The animations are based on Animate.css: Attention seekers, Back entrances, Back exits, Bouncing entrances, Bouncing exits, Fading entrances, Fading exits, Flippers, Rotating entrances, Rotating exits, Specials, Zooming entrances, Zooming exits, and Sliding entrances.

Sticky option for Grid block:
The sticky option allows you to make the grid block stick to the top of the viewport when scrolling down. To use this feature, enable the “Sticky” option in the Grid block settings. When enabled, the grid block will remain fixed at the top of the viewport as you scroll down the page.

Insert Post Block:
Display content from other posts, pages or custom post types. Search and select any published content to display its title as an H2 heading and its full content. This is perfect for creating dynamic content sections without duplicating content.

Decoration for Headline block:
Add a decorative line to the Headline Block. You can choose between a vertical or horizontal line on the right.

Product Categories block:
Display product categories from WooCommerce. Choose the number of categories to display, the order by and the order. You can also choose to hide empty categories. You can also select the number of columns in which to display the categories. You can also customise the background colour, border colour, border width, border radius, text colour, hover background colour, hover border colour and hover text colour.

Counter Block:
Display a counter with a start value, end value and duration. The counter will increment from the start value to the end value within the specified time frame.

Testimonials:
Display testimonials from other posts, pages or custom post types. Search and select any published content to display its title as an H2 heading and its full content. This is perfect for creating dynamic content sections without duplicating content.

Shortcode: [frontblocks_testimonials_carousel]

Reading Time block:
Display the reading time of a post. You can choose the number of words per minute to use for the calculation.
Shortcode: [frontblocks_reading_time]
