Carousel for Dynamic Tags

Select tags, and if there are pages tagged with those tags, they will display up to max number of cards.

  • When to use: Success stories pages, blog post pages, solution and solution subcategory pages, industry and industry subsector pages
  • Limitation: If you have Card Carousel set at 8 cards max, and you select tags for content type = blog post and content type = press releases, and there are 8 blog posts matching your criteria, then those 8 blog posts will display first and no press releases will be shown even though the press release tag was applied; use Dynamic Tags - Customized option to work around this limitation)
