Step 2 - Add the Carousel shortcode to Elementor Page Builder

After you create a WordPress Carousel in Wonder Carousel, the plugin will provide the Carousel shortcode.

To add the WordPress Carousel to Elementor, in Elementor Page Builder, search Shortcode element, then add the created Carousel shortcode.

wordpress-carousel-elementor-shortcode

Please note, Elementor does not execute the shortcode in the page editor, so the Carousel will not work in the editor itself. To test the Carousel, you need to publish the page then test the WordPress Carousel in the final web page.

You can also add a Text Editor element, then add the created WordPress Carousel shortcode.
