# How to change Carousel slides on mousewheel in WordPress?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Blocks Carousel Anything block enables mousewheel navigation for a WordPress carousel slider when the Wheel Navigation toggle is enabled in the Carousel Options tab.
- Nexter Blocks requires the block to be installed and activated before the mouse wheel option works on the page.
- Infinite loop is disabled for proper mouse wheel behavior, and Wait For Transition can be turned on so the wheel works only after the slide transition completes.

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://nexterwp.com/docs/keyboard-navigation-to-carousel-slider-in-wordpress/).
