Find the Posts widget and drop it to the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/post-widget.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/post-widget-2x.png 2x\" alt=\"JetElements posts widget\" class=\"wp-image-20216\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, on the page, this widget will look like a grid filled with the latest posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"style-title-numecal\"><b><span>2<\/span> Step<\/b> <strong>\u2014 Define the general settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to the <strong><em>Content &gt; General<\/em><\/strong> settings block. Specify the number of posts and <strong>Columns<\/strong>, pick the <strong>Post Type<\/strong> and <strong>Query posts by<\/strong>, etc. If you don\u2019t want some posts to be displayed, as they are already published, just use the <strong>Post offset<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/general-preset.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/general-preset-2x.png 2x\" alt=\"Genersl settings\" class=\"wp-image-20229\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides that, decide on the information you want to be either shown or hidden. It could be the <strong>Posts Title,<\/strong> the <strong>Posts Featured Image,<\/strong> the <strong>Posts Meta<\/strong> (the <strong>Posts Author,<\/strong> the <strong>Date,<\/strong> the <strong>Comments<\/strong>), etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/posts-general-settings-3.png\" alt=\"Posts widget Genersl settings section\" class=\"wp-image-20210\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be also able to add the <strong>\u201cRead More\u201d<\/strong> button below each post. Just enable the <strong>Show Read More Button<\/strong> option to allow your visitors to click on it to navigate to the post&#8217;s page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any problems with the settings &#8211; check out our full <a href=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/articles\/jetelements-posts-widget-general-content-settings-overview\/\">Posts widget settings overview<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"style-title-numecal\"><b><span>3<\/span> Step<\/b> <strong>\u2014 Turn the slider on<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigate to the <strong><em>Content &gt; Carousel<\/em><\/strong> block and turn on the <strong> Enable Carousel<\/strong> option in order to activate the carousel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/carousel-preset.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/carousel-preset-2x.png 2x\" alt=\"Carousel settings\" class=\"wp-image-20227\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to decide which type of navigation you prefer, the <strong>Arrows<\/strong> or the <strong>Dots<\/strong> (or maybe both?). Choose the icons of the arrows and turn the <strong>Pause on Hover<\/strong> toggle on. It is convenient for the user if the slider stops on hover, so it could improve the user impression. Enable the <strong>Autoplay<\/strong> option and set the <strong>Autoplay Speed<\/strong> and <strong>Animation Speed.<\/strong> Don\u2019t make the posts move too quickly unless visitors will not have enough time to read the titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could also be a great idea to make the titles shorter using the <strong>Title Word Trim<\/strong> option in the <strong><em>Content &gt; General <\/em><\/strong>settings block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"style-title-numecal\"><b><span>4<\/span> Step<\/b> <strong>\u2014 Style the slider up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the <strong>Style<\/strong> block when you are done with the settings. Play around with the styling options to achieve the result that pleases your eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, it&#8217;s quite easy to set up the post&#8217;s carousel.
