Adding Title to Elementor Pro Media Carousel Widget

Question

I'm missing the option to add a title to each slide of the Elementor Pro Media Carousel Widget. I'm using the description of images within the overlay option, but I also need to have a title of each slide shown underneath within the carousel. A text input field each slide would be best, but if there's away to append the media's title with some script would be a way also. Does anyone have a solution for this? The image carousel has that option. I don't know why it's not included within the media carousel widget though..

Thanks in advance!

You can display the caption or title in the Overlay. And using CSS give the overlay transparent background and opacity=1 so the text is always visible. Something like this:

.elementor-carousel-image-overlay.e-overlay-animation-fade {
background-color: transparent;
bottom: 0px !important;
align-items: flex-end;
opacity: 1 !important;
font-weight: 500;
padding: 0;
padding-bottom: 3%;
}

If you need to add another field to an existing widget, the best approach is to do it by editing the widget code and add a new field.

Alternatively, you can look for another Media Carousel Widget that might have those fields already. Jet Elements has one: https://crocoblock.com/plugins/jetelements/ but there are probably others.

EDIT: If neither of those is an option, you can look at https://wordpress.org/plugins/unlimited-elements-for-elementor/. It might work for what you need.
