    Hi there,

    in a 6 “cards” carousel, is it possible to have it automatically switch from one “card” to the next one each 3 seconds?
    It would be really useful expecially when viewing the webiste with a mobile, for example when showing just one post at a time.

    Thank you. Best wishes. Carlo

    Hi Carlo,

    WPSP by default doesn’t have responsive settings that will let you display different columns for different viewports.

    But there’s definitely a workaround that will surely work. This is definitely possible.

    You can simply create 2 WPSP lists. 1 that only appears on desktop/tablet and 1 that only appears for mobile. Place then on the same page.

    Leave your desktop list to the 6 card carousel list’s WPSP settings but make it disappear on mobile by custom CSS code.

    Example.

    
    /* hide desktop list on mobile */
    @media (max-width:768px){
    #wpsp-list-desktop {
    display:none;
    }
    }

    Just replace the #wpsp-list-desktop with id selector of your desktop WPSP list.

    We then set the carousel settings for the mobile list to only display 1 post at a time and then make sure it only shows on mobile by setting this CSS.

    /* hide by default */
    #wpsp-mobile{
    display: none;
    }
    
    /* display on mobile*/
    @media(max-width:768px){
    #wpsp-mobile{
    display:block;
    }
    }

    Just change the #wpsp-mobile to the ID selector of your mobile WPSP list.

    And the previous reply is if you want different settings for 2 viewports. But I believe 1 post per slide display is already the default on mobile carousel so the previous reply may not be necessary if that’s the only thing needed.

    As for automatic switching. I believe you’ll need the carousel to autoplay.

    If that’s the case, here’s the PHP filter for it.

    add_filter( ‘wpsp_carousel_args’, function( $args ) {
    $args[‘autoplay’] = true;

    return $args;
    } );

    Hope these information helps.

    Hi elvin,

    thank you for your support.

    Yes, autoplay is what I am looking for. 🙂

    1) Where should I put the code of the filter you mentionted?
    – Generally in functions.php?
    I have tried creating a snippet with code snippets, put a carousel in a page and tested, but the carousel seems to be stuck on the first card.

    2) Are there any parameters I can use?
    – seconds between one card to another
    – define which carousel is in autoplay

    Thank you again!

    1.) It should work on either functions.php or code snippet. Perhaps it was saved but is not activated?

    2.) Here’s a code that answers both.

    add_filter( ‘wpsp_carousel_args’, function( $args, $settings ) {
    if ( 160757 === (int) $settings[‘list_id’] ) {
    $args[‘autoplay’] = true;
    $args[‘autoplaySpeed’] = 100;
    }
    return $args;
    }, 10, 2 );

    The autoplaySpeed value controls the speed in milliseconds. The if condition applies it to the specific WPSP list ID. Just replace 160757 with your WPSP list ID.

    1) yes it was activated.

    I found the problem and fixed it:
    for everyone else should have the same issue:

    Copying and pasting the code above, I did not noticed that the quotes were wrong for my system:
    ‘ instead of '

    Replacing them with the correct ones fixed it.

    Here’s my code

    add_filter( 'wpsp_carousel_args', function( $args, $settings ) {
    if ( 160757 === (int) $settings['list_id'] ) {
    $args['autoplay'] = true;
    $args['autoplaySpeed'] = 3000;
    }
    return $args;
    }, 10, 2 );

    With 160757 to be replaced with the list id of the right list.

    Thank you elvin. 😉

    Oh yeah good catch! That will cause issues. PHP codes must use straight quotation marks rather than the curly one.

    Nice one! good to know you made it work. No problem.:)
