AnWP Post Grid and Post Carousel Slider for Elementor

54 Quality Score

Active Installs

19/30

With 20,000 active installs and a popularity score of 64/30, the plugin has a modest but real user base that is significantly smaller than the leading alternatives.

Update Freshness

5/25

The maintenance score of 32/25 is a weak spot: it was last updated in early January 2025 and there is no clear evidence of ongoing commit activity, so long-term upkeep is uncertain.

User Rating

15/15

A rating of 98/100 from 84 reviewers is excellent and suggests users who try it tend to be very satisfied with the result.

Support Health

8/15

Support health sits at 50/15 with zero support threads and zero resolutions, which means the rating reflects a small user base rather than proven, responsive support.

WP Compatibility

8/15

Compatibility scores 50/15: it is tested up to WordPress 6.7.5 but only requires PHP 5.6, which is a dated minimum that does not align with current PHP 8.x standards.

What It Does

AnWP Post Grid and Post Carousel Slider for Elementor lets you build post grids, carousels, and sliders inside Elementor using a dedicated widget set with filters, layout controls, and a load-more button. It is purpose-built for displaying WordPress posts (including custom post types) rather than general page building. You drop the widget into an Elementor template, configure your query and styling, and publish a feed of posts on the front end.

Who It's For

This plugin fits Elementor-based sites that need polished post listings, such as blogs, magazines, news sites, portfolios, real estate listings, and directories. It is a good fit for site owners who want a focused post-display tool without installing a large all-in-one Elementor addons suite. Solo creators and small agencies running Elementor will get the most out of it.

Who Should Skip It

If you do not use Elementor, this plugin is useless to you, since every widget requires the page builder. You should also skip it if you want a general-purpose Elementor extensions kit (forms, pricing tables, counters, etc.), because this plugin only handles posts.

The Bottom Line

AnWP Post Grid and Post Carousel Slider for Elementor delivers exactly what its name promises and earns near-perfect user ratings, but its 20,000 installs, limited support footprint, and overall quality score of 57.08/100 make it a niche choice. It is worth considering only if Elementor post listings are a core need and you prefer a focused tool over a large addons bundle. Most Elementor users will be better served by one of the bigger alternatives above.
