## Beschrijving

Blast Slider lets you create customizable and responsive post carousels using the
Gutenberg block editor, Elementor, or a simple shortcode. Perfect for showcasing
recent posts, featured content, or blog categories.

**Features:**

 * Gutenberg block support
 * Elementor widget support
 * Shortcode `[blast_slider]` support with multiple attributes
 * Responsive layout with Swiper.js
 * Show/hide post title, image, date, and excerpt
 * Adjust number of posts and visible slides
 * Enable/disable loop and autoplay
 * Lightweight and blazing fast

Great for blogs, portfolios, news sites, and more.

### Shortcode

You can use the `[blast_slider]` shortcode to display a customizable post carousel
anywhere on your site — including inside the Classic Editor, widgets, page builders,
or templates.

**Basic Usage:**
 `[blast_slider]`

**Available Attributes:**

 * `numberOfPosts` — Total number of posts to display. Default: `6`
 * `autoplay` — Enable automatic slide change. Accepts `true` or `false`. Default:`
   false`
 * `autoplaySpeed` — Time in milliseconds between slides (if autoplay is enabled).
   Default: `3000`
 * `theme` — Visual theme of the slider. Accepts `light` or `dark`. Default: `light`
 * `showTitle` — Show the post title. Accepts `true` or `false`. Default: `true`
 * `showImage` — Show the featured image or a placeholder. Accepts `true` or `false`.
   Default: `true`
 * `showDate` — Display the post publication date. Accepts `true` or `false`. Default:`
   true`
 * `showExcerpt` — Show an excerpt of the post. Accepts `true` or `false`. Default:`
   true`
 * `loop` — Enable infinite loop for the slider. Accepts `true` or `false`. Default:`
   false`
 * `slidesPerView` — Number of visible slides at once. Default: `3`
 * `slidesPerGroup` — Number of slides to move per navigation step. Default: `3`
 * `spaceBetween` — Space between slides in pixels. Default: `20`

**Example:**
 `[blast_slider numberOfPosts="8" slidesPerView="2" autoplay="true"
autoplaySpeed="5000" loop="true" theme="dark"]`

**In PHP templates:**
 `php echo do_shortcode('[blast_slider numberOfPosts="4" showTitle
="false"]');

**Notes:**
 – If the number of posts is not divisible by `slidesPerGroup` and `loop`
is enabled, the slider will be filled with empty slides to maintain smooth looping.–
When no posts are found, a fallback message is shown. – If no featured image is 
set, a default placeholder image is displayed.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require Gutenberg or Elementor?

You can use either Gutenberg or Elementor — the plugin supports both.

### Can I use it with custom post types?

Not yet. The current version supports only standard WordPress posts.

### Is it responsive?

Yes, the carousel is powered by Swiper.js and is fully responsive on all devices.

### Why is a placeholder image rendered using <img> instead of wp_get_attachment_image()?

The placeholder image used by Blast Slider is a static local file included in the
plugin. Since it is not part of the WordPress media library, it does not have an
attachment ID, and therefore cannot be used with `wp_get_attachment_image()`. The
<img> tag is rendered safely using `wp_kses()` to comply with WordPress security
standards.
