    Hello, thank you for this excellent block system! Its a real hope in a world full of low quality ones.

    Working on a customer website i found some problems and have some proposals for better usability. Website has latest core 6.4.2, latest Astra Pro Theme + Astra Pro Plugin, Spectra, “The Plus” Pro for Gutenberg and Greenshift:

    1. Your Core-Bundle Slider/Carousel Block: When i set “grouping” in Desktop view to “2” it seems that it will keep that for mobile, no matter what i set in the mobile view. It becomes a problem when the customer insists on 1.3 slides visible in mobile view.
    2. Your Core-Bundle Slider/Carousel Block: It would be great to be able to disable Navigation Dots for certain view, e.g. Desktop. I have a customer that insists on having them disabled on Desktop, but visible on mobile.
    3. Your Core-Bundle Slider/Carousel Block: It would be great if i would be able to limit the number of navigation dots (e.g. max 7) while having for example 19 slides. One would combine this with endless loop mode and when you reach the 7th dot it would restart with the first one regardless of the fact that its just slide no. 8 yet.
    4. Compatibility with Yoast Duplicate Post: I had a bad time finding a post duplicate plugin that works with all the plugins involved. I found that using Astra “Site Builder” Templates with your Slider/Carousel and other Astra “Site Builer” Templates for the Carousel contents, that when i copy a slide template, the ids of the content parts dont get replaced. block-local styles are enabled and when i then change styles in a copied template built with your container, image, text, headline elements, they will have the same style as original. Browser console reveals its because original and copied slide have the same ids, so even if inline block styles of new slide are updated, original ones css will override them. Im not sure whether its a yoast issue. The only post duplicator that might have worked well was sellcodes “Copy Delete Posts” Pro, but it has a javascript issue in the backend currently. From previous experience i think this one would update copies with your blocks well, maybe you can try it and get in contact with both teams.
    5. I used “The Plus” for Gutenberg blocks heavily in the customers website, but they dont care for compatibility or quality or speed optimizations, thats why i turned to your blocks, as they have greatly improved since summer 2023. Your Core-Bundle Slider/Carousel Block has some serious issues in the editor though. Maybe you can have a look at “The Plus” blocks Slide/Carousel block, because their backend editor works very well, although frontend has a lot of performance issues. They build slides as a list in the sidebar and that works very well. Most times i cannot even click your slides block placeholder in Gutenberg. I know how to get around this with the structural sidebar, but its hard to explain to simple employees of the customer.

    Hope you find the time to read this. Sorry for the long post and thank you again for your excellent work.

    I would even pay for your core bundle if you added a paid version.

    Best Regards

    Hi. Answers

    1. This option has device related. You need to click on mobile device near option and set specific for mobile
    2. there is no such option but can be easily added by css

    @media(min-width:1024px){.swiper-pagination{display:none !important}}

    put in advanced – responsive and custom css

    3. currently it’s not possible

    4. Yes, correct, because plugin duplicate everything, including ids. Simple way to fix it. Clean content in post, then copy blocks and paste them. WordPress should update ids when you copy-paste

    5. Yes, agree, we think how to remove sliding inside editor because this prevent block selection, but it’s not easy task, we can’t simply put everything to sidebar, because this will make slider block limited in some parts but we will try to find some solution
