The Post Carousel 2 widget displays blog posts or custom post types in a horizontal carousel with a card design, where each post is presented as a distinct card with its own image, title, meta, and excerpt. It’s ideal for visually organized layouts and showcasing multiple posts at once with smooth sliding transitions, navigation arrows, and dots.
