FAQ

Does it work in Divi 4?

Yes. A Divi 4 version exists (shortcodes torq_carousel and torq_carousel_child). This page describes the Divi 5 settings.

The Divi 5 render code outputs a Swiper container and passes the settings to Swiper as a JSON config.

Can I show a different number of slides on tablet and phone?

Yes. Slides to Show supports responsive values in the builder, so you can set different counts per device.

How do Vertical Direction and Variable Slide Width affect the other settings?

With Vertical Direction on, the carousel shows one slide at a time along the vertical axis. With Variable Slide Width on, Swiper sizes each slide from Slide Width, and Slides to Scroll is ignored. Both are set in the render config (CarouselEngine.php).
