Our analysis

AI-assisted

Agnosia Bootstrap Carousel is a WordPress plugin that enhances the default [gallery] shortcode to display a Bootstrap Carousel using selected images along with their titles and descriptions. It requires that your theme or setup includes the necessary Bootstrap JavaScript and CSS files for proper functionality; otherwise, it will only output basic HTML.

You can customise the carousel with various attributes such as width, height, and control display. This plugin is suitable for users who want to create image carousels within their WordPress site using the Bootstrap framework.

Best for: This plugin is best for WordPress users familiar with Bootstrap who want to create image carousels.

What it does well

  • Enhances the [gallery] shortcode for carousels
  • Customisable attributes for width, height, and controls
  • Supports multiple carousels on the same page with unique IDs

Where it falls short

  • Requires Bootstrap files to be included separately
  • Limited support as it hasn't been updated since December 2014

Verdict

Agnosia Bootstrap Carousel offers a straightforward way to implement carousels, but its reliance on external Bootstrap files and lack of recent updates may be a concern for some users.

From the developer

Andrés Villarreal's own description of Agnosia Bootstrap Carousel by AuSoft, lightly tidied.

Agnosia Bootstrap Carousel hooks the [gallery] shortcode with attribute type="carousel" in order to show a Bootstrap Carousel based on the selected images and their titles and descriptions.

This plugin assumes either your theme includes the necessary Bootstrap javascript and CSS files to display the carousel properly, or that you have included those files on your own. It will not include the files for you, so if they are not present, the carousel will not work and you will only obtain its bare HTML.

Basic example:

[gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59"]

Required attributes:

  • type: it needs to be type="carousel".
  • ids: you must provide a list of ids corresponding to attachments, like ids="1,2,3".

Otherwise, the default [gallery] shortcode function will be processed instead of this plugin’s one.

Optional attributes:

  • name: any name. String will be sanitize to be used as an HTML ID. Recommended when you want to have more than one carousel in the same page. Default: agnosia-bootstrap-carousel. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" name="myCarousel"]
  • indicators: indicators position. Accepted values: before-inner, after-inner, after-control, false (hides indicators). Default: before-inner. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" indicators="after-inner"]
  • width: carousel container width, in px or %. Default: not set. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" width="800px"]
  • height: carousel item height, in px or %. Default: not set. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" height="400px"]
  • titletag: define HTML tag for image title. Default: h4. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" titletag="h2"]
  • wpautop: auto-format text. Default: true. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" wpautop="false"]
  • title: show or hide image title. Set false to hide. Default: true. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" title="false"]
  • text: show or hide image text. Set false to hide. Default: true. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" text="false"]
  • containerclass: extra class for carousel container. Default: not set. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" containerclass="container"]
  • itemclass: extra class for carousel item. Default: not set. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" itemclass="container"]
  • captionclass: extra class for item caption. Default: not set. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" captionclass="container"]
  • control: control arrows display. Accepted values: true (to show), false (to hide). Default: true. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" control="false"]
  • interval: the amount of time to delay between automatically cycling an item. If false, carousel will not automatically cycle. Default: 5000. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" interval="2000"]
  • pause: pauses the cycling of the carousel on mouseenter and resumes the cycling of the carousel on mouseleave. Default: “hover”. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" interval="hover"]
  • size: size for image attachment. Accepted values: thumbnail, medium, large, full. Default: full. See wp_get_attachment_image_src() for further reference. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" size="full"]

Native supported attributes:

  • orderby: Alternative order for your images. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" orderby="rand"]
  • link: where your image titles will link to. Accepted values: file, none and empty. An empty value will link to your attachment’s page. Example: [gallery type="carousel" ids="61,60,59" link="file"]
