Hi there

It's not currently possible to reproduce the member's slider module using Blocks, it requires using the legacy Views editor.

The design is based upon nested Views, which are not yet supported in Blocks.

It is also built specifically on the Bootstrap framework (specifically the carousel component: hidden link), and part of the rationale of Blocks is to move away from Bootstrap as a dependency.

You could make a slider from a single View block without the thumbnail strip below, see https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-sliders-with-dynamic-post-content/

Update for anyone interested: we managed to make the slider work by importing the following related module then enabling the Bootstrap 4 setting in Toolset. Actually it worked quite well.
