Instead of showing one slide at a time, a carousel keeps your layout compact while allowing viewers to explore more. With Sliderberg, you can create a responsive carousel slider directly within the WordPress editor, eliminating the need for extra tools or code.

This guide walks you through the entire process, from adding the slider block to customizing the carousel layout. Take a look at the demo of the carousel slide I’m going to create today.

Step 1: Install and Activate Sliderberg

First, you need to install the Sliderberg plugin:

1. Go to Plugins → Add New from your WordPress dashboard
2. Search for Sliderberg
3. Click Install Now, then Activate

Once activated, the Sliderberg block becomes available inside the editor.

For further detailed information, please refer to our documentation on “How to Install and Activate Sliderberg.”

Step 2: Insert the Sliderberg Block and Enable Carousel

Open the post or page where you want to insert the carousel slider.

1. Click the + icon to insert a new block.
2. Search for Sliderberg in the block search box.

2. Select Your Image file from your directory and click “Open.”
3. Click the Select button, and it will be inserted into the editor.

Step 4: Add Text Content to your Slide

Now, add text content to your slide. You can add Headings and paragraph blocks as text content.

If you want, you can also delete those headings and paragraph blocks inside the carousel slider, just like any other block you delete. To delete a block:

1. Select the Block you want to delete.
2. Click the Three Dots.
3. Select the Delete option.

You can choose the color of the text content from the right side panel.

Step 5: Add More Slides

• Click the Add Slide to add a new slide to the slider.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4.

1. Click on the Duplicate Slide Button

Next, follow the following:

1. Select the slide.
2. Click on the Background Settings.
3. Click Replace Image.

Follow the following steps.

• Upload your custom image or select from the media library.
• Repeat the Alternative Method if you want to add more slides.

Step 6: Customize the Slideshow Settings

Click the outer Sliderberg block (not a single slide) to open the settings sidebar. From here, you can:

1. Go to Animation Settings
2. Set Transition Effects and Duration
3. Lastly, set Transition Easing.

Next, go to Autoplay Settings to modify options related to Autoplay.

1. Activate the “Enable Autoplay” option.
2. Adjust Autoplay Speed.
3. Enable the “Pause on Hover” option.

To adjust the navigation, explore the Navigation Settings. There, you can modify the navigation type, placement, shape, size, arrow color, background color, opacity, and other settings.

Lastly, take a look at the Carousel Settings. In the Carousel Settings, you can adjust the number of slides to show, slides to scroll, and slide spacing.

Keep the Infinite Loop option enabled if you want your carousel slider to show images continuously.

And that’s all the settings to adjust to create a carousel slider in WordPress. The final demo is below.

After completing the carousel slider, save or publish the post or page.

Final Thoughts!

Sliderberg lets you create stylish, customizable slideshows using nothing but the WordPress editor. If you want to showcase photos, rotating testimonials, or promoting services, you can build it quickly without relying on shortcodes or external editors.

Give it a try and turn your static content into something more interactive—one slide at a time.

There are many ways to build sliders in WordPress, but not all of them work well with text. Some require shortcodes. Others force you into templates. If you’re using the block editor and want full control over the content layout, a block-based slider is a better choice.

This guide will show you how to create a testimonial slider using Sliderberg. You’ll use regular blocks to add your content, and everything stays inside the editor with no special formatting or extra tools.

Create a WordPress Testimonial Slider

Verified User

“Works just as expected. Clean design and simple to manage.”

★★★★★

WordPress Site Owner

“The overall experience has been smooth and reliable so far.”

★★★★★

Longtime Customer

“Exactly what I was looking for. No extra steps or confusion.”

★★★★★

A testimonial slider looks simple on the front end, but it gives you control over structure, spacing, and interaction. Using Sliderberg’s block-based approach, each testimonial becomes its own slide, with room for names, roles, star ratings, and styled quotes.

Step 1: Install and Activate Sliderberg

From your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins and click Add New. Search for Sliderberg Slider Blocks, then install and activate it. The slider block will now appear inside your editor.

Step 2: Add the Slider Block to Your Page

Open the page or post where you want to place the slider. Click the plus icon, search for Sliderberg, and insert the block. When prompted, choose Blocks Slider as the type.

Step 3: Set the Background for the First Slide

You’ll see a slide with a blank background. Choose a solid color or upload a subtle texture or soft image. Once the background is set, Sliderberg will automatically add a Heading and Paragraph block to the slide.

Step 4: Add Testimonial Content

Use the Heading block for the customer’s name or title. Use the Paragraph block for their feedback. You can use a Star Rating block, an Image block for a profile photo, a button block to trigger action, or any other blocks that fit into your description. 

To reposition everything together, select the slide’s parent container and adjust the alignment or spacing using the sidebar settings.

Step 5: Add More Testimonials

Click Add Slide to create a new slide and repeat the process. Each slide can have different content, or you can use the Duplicate Slide button if you want to copy a layout and just change the text. This is useful when your slides follow the same format.

Step 6: Customize the Slider

Click the outer edge of the slider to select it. From the settings panel, you can change the transition effect, enable autoplay, adjust the speed, and style the arrows and dots. For testimonials, a Fade transition usually works well because it keeps the flow calm and easy to read.

Final Thoughts

Testimonial sliders help your visitors connect with real experiences, one at a time. When built directly inside the editor, they become easy to update, easy to style, and fully part of your content. You can adjust the layout, background, and animations to match your site without using a separate builder.

A combined image and text slider solves this by keeping attention on each slide while delivering your message clearly. It creates a natural pairing between visuals and copy, guiding the viewer without overwhelming them.

In this article, we’ll cover everything to help you learn how to create an image and text slider in WordPress. Let’s start. 

Create an Image and Text Slider in WordPress

A structured layout matters just as much as the content. With Sliderberg, you’ll be using familiar block-based tools to build slides where image and text work together in every frame.

Step 1: Install the Slider Plugin

From your WordPress dashboard, go to the plugin section and add a new plugin. Type Sliderberg in the search bar, then install and activate it once it appears.

Step 2: Insert the Image and Text Slider Block

Open the editor for any page or post and add a new block using the block inserter (+ sign).  Search for Sliderberg Slider and insert it into your content. Right after adding the block, select the layout type called Blocks Slider to continue.

Step 3: Add a Background Image or Color to the Slide

Before editing any content, choose a background for the default slide. You can set either an image or a solid color. Once the background is applied, a Heading and Paragraph block will automatically appear inside the slide. These are fully editable and function like standard Gutenberg blocks.

Step 4: Edit and Style the Text Content in the Slider

Click into the Heading or Paragraph block to enter your message. Use the toolbar and sidebar settings to change size, color, alignment, or font. 

To shift the position of the overall content inside the slide, select the parent slide container and use the alignment tools. You can also replace the Paragraph block with any other block using the inserter.  

Step 5: Adjust Global Slider Settings

Click the outer edge of the main slider to access the full block settings. From here, you can change the transition style, animation speed, autoplay options, and navigation appearance. These changes apply across all slides for a consistent look.

Step 6: Add More Image and Text Slides

Once your first slide is ready, click Add Slide to create new ones. Each slide starts with the same structure, but you can customize the background, text, and layout individually or keep them uniform depending on your content needs.

Conclusion

A slider that combines images and text can do more than just decorate a page. It helps you shape a clear message, guide the viewer’s focus, and make your content feel more alive. With the right balance between visuals and words, each slide becomes a small but meaningful story.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to build a review slider using Sliderberg—complete with names, photos, review text, and ratings.

Step 1: Insert Sliderberg Block

Open the post or page where you want to insert the review slider. After that, follow the following.

1. Click the + icon to insert a new block.
2. Search for Sliderberg in the block search box.
3. Select the Slideberg block, and it will be inserted.

Select “Blocks Slider” after inserting the Sliderberg block.

Step 2: Insert Your Image

1. Click Upload (1) if you want to add an Image to your Slide. Or you can select an existing one from the media library (2)

2. Now select the image to upload from your directory.

Step 3: Add Your Text Content & Customize

Add your text content to your image.

You can choose the color of the text content from the right side panel.

Now, click on the image of the slide and click “Overlay Settings.”

Select the overlay color from the color picker.

Now, adjust the overlay opacity, and you are done.

After finishing all the customization, you must save or publish the post. So that’s how you overlay text on WordPress slider images using Sliderberg.

Final Thoughts

Text overlays are a simple way to turn static slider images into interactive content sections. With Sliderberg, you don’t need any custom code or third-party builders—use blocks you already know. Try combining bold headings with buttons or taglines to guide your visitors and drive engagement.

How to Add a Text Slider in WordPress the Right Way

A text slider fits right in. It focuses purely on the message, letting you rotate through short pieces of text with smooth transitions. You can add it to a blog, a service page, or even within a pricing section where content needs to stay readable and in motion.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of adding a text slider to your WordPress site using the Sliderberg plugin. Let’s start. 

Add a Text Slider in WordPress

In the following steps, you’ll insert the slider block, set a background for each slide, add your text content, and customize the overall slider settings. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: Install and Activate Sliderberg

Start by installing the Sliderberg plugin from the WordPress plugin directory. Once activated, it will appear as a new block inside the WordPress block editor.

Step 2: Add the Sliderberg Block

Open the editor for the page or post where you want the text slider. Click the “+” button and search for Sliderberg. Insert the block. After that, you will be asked to choose a slider type. Choose the Blocks Slider to proceed.

Step 3: Add a Background to the First Slide

When the slide appears, the first thing you’ll see is the background selection interface. You won’t be able to add or edit any content until you choose a background. You can upload an image, select one from your media library, or pick a solid color from the options provided. Once the background is selected, the slide will load with a Heading and a Paragraph block by default, ready for you to edit.

Step 4: Add and Style Text Content

Click on the heading and paragraph blocks to add your text. You can use the toolbar or right sidebar to change alignment, font size, text color, and spacing.

If you want to change the position of the entire content group, click on the parent container of the slide and use the position tools available in the settings. You can also adjust the background, overlay, and related settings in the same panel.

If you want to add more content to the slide, such as extra paragraphs or a button, click the plus icon inside the slide and choose any block from the inserter.

Step 5: Add More Slides

Click the Add Slide button to insert another slide. Each new slide will follow the same structure. Choose a background first, then add your text. If you want to keep a consistent layout, you can use the Duplicate Slide button to copy an existing one.

Step 6: Customize Slider Settings

Select the main slider block to open the settings panel. From there, you can choose the transition style, enable autoplay, and adjust navigation controls. You can also fine-tune the placement and styling of arrows and dots, and much more. 

Final Thoughts

A text slider is a simple way to highlight key messages without overwhelming the page. With Sliderberg, each slide works like any other block layout, so you can focus on writing and design without learning anything new. Once it’s set up, updating or rearranging your content is just as easy as editing a paragraph.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to build a review slider using Sliderberg—complete with names, photos, review text, and ratings. See the demo of the review slider below that I will create today for this tutorial.

Now, let’s proceed to the steps for creating this awesome review slider.

Step 1: Install and Activate Sliderberg

To begin, install the Sliderberg plugin:

1. Go to Plugins → Add New in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Search for Sliderberg in the plugin search box.
3. Click Install Now and then activate the plugin.

Now you’re ready to create your review slider.

Step 2: Insert Sliderberg Block

Open the post or page where you want to insert the review slider.

1. Click the + icon to insert a new block.
2. Search for Sliderberg in the block search box.
3. Select the Slideberg block, and it will be inserted.

Your first review slide is now ready for editing.

Step 3: Design the First Review Slide

Select “Blocks Slider” after inserting the Sliderberg block.

Click the “Add Slide” button (1) to add more slides. Select a solid color for the slide (2). For today’s tutorial, I will select a solid color.

Once you have set your background, you can add the actual review content to your review slider.

Add Your Text content and heading in the slider.

After adding the testimonial text, you can add star ratings. Since Sliderberg does not have its own Star Rating block, you can use the star ratings from below.

Copy Star Ratings

Click a button to copy the 5-star rating to your clipboard!

Copy

Copy

★★★★★ Copy

You can directly copy and use these star ratings inside the Sliderberg block. Here’s the demo below.

Step 4: Insert Image (Optional)

You can also add an image after or before the star rating. To add an image, insert the Column block and select the 5th style.

Now, select the middle column and insert the image block.

Click on the Add Image button (1), upload your image, or select an image file from your media library (2).

For the tutorial, I will upload my custom image for the review slider.

The Image block lets you adjust the image alignment and resize it according to your needs.

Lastly, add the reviewer’s name.

Step 5: Duplicate the Slide

In this step, you can create a new slide or duplicate the current slide. If you wish to add a new slide, click the Add Slide button.

Alternatively, you can click the Duplicate button to duplicate the current slide, which is a faster way to maintain consistent formatting.

Step 6: Slider Customization

After finishing creating the review slider, customize the whole appearance of the review slider.

You can customize the slider by editing its width, animation, autoplay, navigation, and carousel settings from the right-side panel.

Here is the full review slider below.

Step 5: Reorder or Delete Slides

Use the navigation arrows below the slider to browse through your slides. To delete a slide, select it and click the Delete Slide button at the top. To reorder slides, use the Move Left or Move Right arrows in the slide’s block toolbar.

You have full control over layout, style, and behavior, and updating your slider is just as easy as editing any other block.
