# How to Change Carousel Slider automatically with autoplay in WordPress?

## Key Takeaways

- Set the Autoplay Speed between 2000 and 5000 milliseconds for optimal viewing pace.

A carousel slider that advances automatically between slides keeps content moving without requiring visitors to click through manually. This is useful for showcasing multiple images, testimonials, or feature highlights on a page without requiring user interaction.

With the Carousel Anything block in Nexter Blocks, you can enable autoplay on any carousel slider in WordPress. Add the block to the page and follow the steps:

1. Add your slides in the **Content** tab.

2. Go to the **Carousel Options** tab and enable the **Autoplay** toggle.

From the **Autoplay Speed** field, set how many milliseconds the carousel waits before advancing to the next slide. A lower value moves faster; a higher value moves slower. Use a value between 2000 and 5000 milliseconds for a comfortable viewing pace on content-heavy carousels such as testimonials or case studies.

With the Carousel Anything block in Nexter Blocks, you can also turn your carousel into an infinite loop. [Learn the process](https://qa.nexterwp.com/docs/carousel-infinite-loop-scroll-in-wordpress-carousel-slider/).
