But make sure to disable the Infinite loop option so that the mouse wheel functions properly.

You can turn on the **Wait For Transition** toggle for a better user experience so the mouse wheel will only work once the slide transition is completed.

This is how you can make a WordPress carousel slider navigate on the mouse wheel.

You can add keyboard navigation to your carousel as well to make it more accessible. [Learn the process](https://qa.nexterwp.com/docs/keyboard-navigation-to-carousel-slider-in-wordpress/).
