    ```

### License

This plugin is licensed under the GPLv2 or later. See the License URI for details.

## Instalación

 1. Upload the `effortless-carousel-with-gallery` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to Settings > Carousel Settings to configure options:

#### Additional CSS Classes

You can add these additional CSS classes to your gallery block for enhanced functionality:

 * `elcwg-full-width` – Makes the carousel extend to full browser width, breaking
   out of content containers.
 * `elcwg-overlay-dots` – Positions the navigation dots as an overlay on top of 
   the images instead of below.

## Rexistro de cambios

#### 1.3.20

 * Restored: dismissible donate notice on the Carousel Settings and Gallery Presets
   admin pages (screen IDs updated for the new top-level menu structure).

#### 1.3.19

 * Fixed: image picker (add/remove/reorder images) and preset editing now work. 
   The admin script enqueue was comparing against a guessed hook name that did not
   match what WordPress generates for a submenu of a custom top-level menu. The 
   enqueue function now captures the exact hook suffix returned by add_submenu_page()
   and compares against that.

#### 1.3.18

 * Fixed: admin_enqueue_scripts hook name corrected from elcwg-settings_page_elcwg-
   presets to toplevel_page_elcwg-presets (partial fix — see 1.3.19 for the complete
   fix).

#### 1.3.17

 * Fixed: browser focus ring (white circle) no longer persists after clicking an
   arrow with the mouse. Uses :focus-visible so keyboard users still get an outline
   for accessibility.
 * Added: white ring ripple animation after clicking an arrow — expands and fades
   out in 0.55 s. Resets correctly on rapid clicks. Disabled for users who prefer
   reduced motion.
 * Fixed: missing type=”button” attribute on arrow buttons (prevented accidental
   form submission).

#### 1.3.16

 * Fixed: navigation arrows are now perfectly centered in their circle on all browsers
   and fonts. Replaced text characters (‹ ›) with inline SVG chevrons and switched
   from line-height/text-align centering to flexbox — text glyph metrics vary per
   font and caused the icon to appear offset.
 * Improved: arrow buttons slightly enlarged (36 px  40 px) for better touch targets,
   padding reset to zero so no browser default interferes.

#### 1.3.15

 * Changed: Gallery Presets submenu label renamed to “Galleries”; Settings submenu
   label renamed to “Native Settings”.
 * Added: Full i18n coverage — fresh .pot generated from source; .po and compiled.
   mo files for English (en_US), French (fr_FR), Spanish (es_ES), Traditional Chinese/
   Taiwan (zh_TW), Korean (ko_KR), and Japanese (ja).

#### 1.3.14

 * Improved: Plugin menu moved from Settings to a dedicated top-level Carousel entry
   in the admin sidebar, with Settings and Gallery Presets as sub-pages. Provides
   faster access without hunting through the Settings menu.
 * Improved: Preset edit form reorganised into Identity, Behavior, Appearance, and
   Images sections for faster scanning. All checkboxes now carry inline labels explaining
   what each option does.
 * Improved: Settings page now links directly to Gallery Presets and uses inline
   checkbox labels consistent with the preset form.

#### 1.3.13

 * Fixed: carousel inside a constrained group block (is-layout-constrained + wp-
   container-* class) no longer breaks out to full viewport width. The elcwg-full-
   width breakout relies on margin-left:50% resolving against the viewport — inside
   a constrained group the 50% reference is the group’s narrower width, causing 
   misalignment. JS now also detects this case (in addition to the inline-style 
   check from v1.3.12) and skips the breakout, letting the carousel fill the group
   naturally.

#### 1.3.12

 * Fixed: carousel no longer overflows a width-constrained group block (e.g. width:
   80%). The full-width breakout (width:100vw + margin-left:50%) uses the parent
   width as its reference point; inside a narrow group the math resolves incorrectly.
   JS now skips the elcwg-full-width class when the gallery’s direct parent has 
   an explicit inline width, letting the carousel fill the parent naturally instead.
 * Fixed: added min-width:0 to the carousel wrapper so it cannot be stretched wider
   than its declared width when it is a flex item inside a flex-row group block (
   browsers default flex items to min-width:auto which allows expansion to min-content
   size).

#### 1.3.11

 * Fixed: carousel now respects the width set on the gallery block via Block Settings
   Dimensions. WordPress writes these as inline styles on the gallery element; after
   JS wrapping the carousel, that percentage became relative to the wrapper (inner
   context) rather than the original parent. The inline width and max-width are 
   now migrated to the outer wrapper before insertion.

#### 1.3.10

 * Fixed: alignwide carousel now respects the parent group block’s custom wide-size
   set in Block Settings. Removed the explicit width override that forced the global
   theme wide-size, letting WordPress’s constrained-layout container CSS supply 
   the correct value (including any per-group custom content/wide width).

#### 1.3.9

 * Fixed: full-width carousel wrapper now uses !important on width, max-width, margin-
   left, and margin-right — WordPress block-theme container CSS was applying margin-
   left:auto !important and max-width:80% to all direct non-alignfull children of
   a group block, overriding the breakout technique and shifting the carousel to
   the left.

#### 1.3.8

 * Fixed: full-size gallery no longer flashes before the carousel initializes — 
   slides are hidden until JS setup completes, with a CSS spinner shown in their
   place.
 * Fixed: WordPress “Full width” alignment now uses the plugin’s own full-width 
   implementation instead of relying on theme CSS selectors that target the gallery
   element directly.
 * Fixed: WordPress “Wide width” alignment now expands the wrapper to –wp–style–
   global–wide-size (block themes) with a 1200px fallback.
 * Fixed: float:none on carousel wrapper prevents theme alignment CSS from floating
   the carousel.

#### 1.3.7

 * Fixed: carousel no longer overflows into adjacent page sections when its parent
   container has an explicit height (e.g. a group block set to height:200px). The
   wrapper now uses a flex-column layout with height:100% and overflow:hidden — 
   it fills the parent when constrained and falls back to auto-height when the parent
   is unconstrained.
 * Fixed: carousel images now use object-fit:cover so they fill their slot without
   distortion when height is constrained by a parent block.
 * Fixed: navigation dots changed from back to — aria-label is not valid on spans
   without a role.

#### 1.3.6

 * Fixed: carousel slides overflowing into the footer — browsers do not apply overflow:
   hidden to GPU-composited children (will-change:transform promotes the inner track
   to its own layer). Added clip-path:inset(0) to the gallery which clips composited
   layers reliably.
 * Fixed: removed :first-child/:last-child edge-padding rules that produced wrong
   gaps when loop cloning is active.

#### 1.3.5

 * Fixed: overflow:hidden moved from the wrapper to the gallery element — the wrapper
   was creating a block formatting context that corrupted page flow and caused the
   carousel to visually bleed into the footer.
 * Simplified: removed text animation and caption font-size settings (not relevant
   to carousel).
 * Simplified: settings page is now a single flat table — Enable Carousel, Autoplay,
   Delay, Loop.
 * Simplified: CSS stripped of all hero/animation variants; captions are plain overlays
   with no JS animation.

#### 1.3.4

 * Fixed: Carousel wrapper no longer copies is-layout-flex from the gallery — WordPress
   CSS was turning the wrapper into a flex row, placing the gallery and navigation
   dots side by side instead of stacked.
 * Fixed: Wrapper now has display:block !important so WordPress layout classes can
   never override it.
 * Fixed: Wrapper still inherits WordPress alignment classes (aligncenter, alignwide,
   alignfull) so theme centering rules apply.

#### 1.3.3

 * Fixed: Carousel wrapper now inherits WordPress alignment and layout classes (
   aligncenter, alignwide, is-layout-*, etc.) from the gallery block, so theme centering
   rules apply correctly.

#### 1.3.2

 * Fixed: Preset shortcode galleries now activate as carousels even when the global“
   Enable Carousel” setting is off — preset galleries are self-contained.
 * Fixed: Preset list table now shows [elcwg_gallery preset=”slug”] for presets 
   with stored images instead of the outdated ids=”…” placeholder.

#### 1.3.1

 * Added: Image picker in preset edit form — select, reorder (drag-and-drop), and
   store images directly inside a preset.
 * Added: [elcwg_gallery preset=”slug”] shortcode now works without ids= attribute
   when images are stored in the preset.

#### 1.3.0

 * Added: Gallery Presets admin page (Settings > Gallery Presets) with WP_List_Table
   UI for creating and managing named carousel presets.
 * Added: [elcwg_gallery preset=”slug” ids=”1,2,3″] shortcode renders a standalone
   carousel using preset settings, independent of global plugin settings.
 * Added: Per-carousel data-attribute overrides in frontend JS — shortcode galleries
   use preset settings; existing CSS-class galleries continue to use global settings.

#### 1.2.0

 * Fixed: Carousel dots changed from to — aria-label is prohibited on spans with
   no ARIA role, causing accessibility audit failures.

#### 1.1.9

 * Fixed: Navigation arrows no longer shift vertically when changing slides. The
   inner container height is now locked to the tallest slide on load and on resize,
   so top: 50% always resolves to the same pixel position.

#### 1.1.8

 * Fixed: Added !important overrides to counter WordPress has-nested-images gallery
   CSS that was fighting plugin layout rules, causing columns and images to appear
   off-center or wrong size.

#### 1.1.7

 * Fixed: Navigation arrows are now always vertically centered relative to the image
   area only, not the full wrapper (which included the dots below).

#### 1.1.6

 * Improved: Images now display at their natural size (never stretched), centered
   within their column slot. Nothing is ever cropped. Previously images were forced
   to 100% slot width which distorted portrait images.

#### 1.1.5

 * Improved: Carousel now always shows exactly the number of columns selected in
   the gallery block. On mobile (< 480px) it forces 1 column. Removed intermediate
   breakpoint that was capping columns at 2 on tablets.

#### 1.1.4

 * Fixed: Carousel now fills its container div exactly, with no extra side padding—
   the container’s own spacing is respected.

#### 1.1.3

 * Fixed: Carousel slides now fit within screen width without truncation, with consistent
   padding between cards and screen edges.
 * Fixed: Overrides WordPress default gallery gap to prevent slides from being pushed
   off-screen.
 * Improved: Mobile view (< 480px) shows a single full-width card with proper padding.

#### 1.1.2

 * Added: `elcwg-no-arrows` class to hide navigation arrows.
 * Added: `elcwg-no-dots` class to hide navigation dots.
 * Added: `elcwg-no-captions` class to hide image captions.

#### 1.1.1

 * Fixed: Added escaping to inline CSS output to prevent potential XSS vulnerabilities.

#### 1.1.0

 * Added text animation delay setting.
 * Improved carousel responsiveness.

#### 1.0.6

 * Fixed issues with more than 4 columns in gallery.
 * Fixed mobile issues with partial image sliding.
 * Renamed plugin to “Effortless Carousel with Gallery”.
 * Removed parallax background functionality.
 * Updated settings page and documentation to focus on carousel and text animations.

#### 1.0.5

 * Added sanitization for all settings to resolve WordPress Plugin Check errors.
 * Ensured compatibility with carousel autoplay functionality.

#### 1.0.4

 * Added explicit autoplay setting for carousel in admin panel.
 * Fixed missing carouselAutoplay in JavaScript settings.

#### 1.0.3

 * Enhanced carousel with touch/swipe support and improved autoplay.
 * Optimized CSS for smoother animations and responsiveness.

#### 1.0.2

 * Simplified carousel JavaScript for better performance.
 * Improved responsive design in CSS.

#### 1.0.1

 * Fixed minor bugs in settings page.
 * Improved documentation.

#### 1.0.0
