Hi @ooksanen,

I wanted to personally reach out and let you know that we have just released a major update (v2.0.0) that completely addresses all the issues you highlighted in your review!

Here is what we have done:

1. Complete Cross-Browser Compatibility: We completely retired the experimental CSS ::scroll-button and ::scroll-marker pseudo-elements. They have been replaced by standard HTML buttons and dot indicators powered by an ultra-lightweight Vanilla JS engine (<5kb) with zero dependencies. The carousel now works smoothly and consistently on Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge, and all mobile browsers.
2. Gutenberg Layout & Sidebar Fixes: We have thoroughly redesigned the editor CSS integration. The broad :has() selector rules that interfered with Gutenberg’s sidebar layout and canvas scrolling have been removed and precisely scoped. The block editor now behaves perfectly without any side-effects on the WordPress UI.

If you have a moment, we would love for you to update to the latest version and give it another spin. If you feel these major improvements have made the plugin much better, we would be incredibly grateful if you would consider updating your rating.

Thank you again for your constructive feedback—it was crucial in helping us make this plugin better for everyone!

Best regards

Hi Marie-Anne,

I have some absolutely wonderful news for you! Instead of weeks or months, it only took a few days! 🚀

I am thrilled to let you know that version 2.0.0 is officially live and available for update right now in your WordPress dashboard.

I have completely refactored the plugin’s architecture to solve this exact issue:

1. Full Browser Compatibility: We have completely removed the experimental CSS ::scroll-* pseudo-elements and replaced them with standard, native HTML navigation buttons and pagination dots. The plugin is now 100% compatible with Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Edge, and all modern mobile and desktop browsers.
2. Lightweight & Fast: Instead of loading heavy third-party libraries (like Swiper or Slick), the controls are powered by a super-lightweight, vanilla JavaScript script (less than 5KB) combined with native CSS scroll-snap. Your excellent Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals performance scores remain completely untouched!
3. Improved Editor Experience: You will also see the navigation arrows and interactive pagination dots directly inside your Gutenberg editor exactly like on the frontend, with computed padding detection.
4. Interactive Dot Tracking: Clicking the pagination dots will slide to the corresponding post, and the active dot is synchronized in real-time as you scroll thanks to a lightweight IntersectionObserver.

You can simply update Any Block Carousel Slider to version 2.0.0 directly from your WordPress updates page, and it should work instantly on Firefox!

Thank you so much for your patience, your kind words, and for giving me the motivation to speed up this major milestone. Let me know if everything works perfectly on your end!

Best regards,
Arthur

Many thanks!

Hi Yasin,

Good news! I’ve just released a new update that includes the new Loop and Autoplay features.

I hope you’ll find it useful.

Thank you again for your support!

Ok thank you for your reply,
I can see the issu now,
There are multiple ways to do a carousel
You can do a carousel of post by using the “Query loop” and a “Post template” block as “Carousel”.
In this case, each wordpress post inside the loop will be a slide of the carousel.
But I don’t think that is what you need here.
I can see that you want to manually add slides to the carousel so here is what you need.
First remove the “Query loop” and “Post template” blocks because you will not need theme.
Transform your “Columns” block into a “Group” block and change the display to Grid and make it a “Carousel”.
Transform your “Column“ block to “Group” block. They will be automatically consider as “Slides” of your “Carousel” as they are the direct childs of the “Carousel”.
Now you can manage your columns number on the “Carousel”.
