How can I create a Slider with functional 'next' and 'previous' arrows in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Add a Slider from the Webflow Add Panel and customize slide content.
  • Ensure Next/Previous arrows are visible by adjusting opacity, z-index, and position.
  • Enable manual or autoplay navigation in the Element Settings Panel.
  • Adjust arrow positioning in the Style Panel if needed.

To create a Slider in Webflow with working Next and Previous arrows, follow these steps:

1. Add a Slider Element

  • Go to the Add Panel in Webflow.
  • Drag and drop the Slider component onto your page.
  • This will automatically include slides, a left arrow, and a right arrow for navigation.

2. Customize the Slides

  • Click on a Slide inside the Slider Wrapper to edit its content.
  • Add text, images, or other elements as needed.
  • Duplicate slides by selecting a slide and clicking Duplicate Slide in the settings.

3. Ensure Arrows Are Visible

  • If the arrows aren’t visible, select the Slider and go to the Style Panel:
  • Check that the opacity is not set to 0.
  • Ensure they are not hidden under other elements (set z-index higher if needed).

4. Enable Slider Navigation

  • Select the Slider element.
  • Open the Element Settings Panel (gear icon).
  • Enable Autoplay or manual navigation as needed.

5. Adjust Arrow Position (Optional)

  • Select the left or right arrow from the Navigator.
  • Adjust the positioning in the Style Panel to align them properly.

Summary

Drag a Slider onto your Webflow page, customize the slides, ensure the arrows are visible, and adjust any settings for navigation behavior. The built-in Next and Previous arrows should now function correctly.
