Is there a way to make the Webflow slider automatically move forward without requiring a click?
TL;DR
- Select the Slider, enable Autoplay in the Element Settings Panel, and set the delay time (e.g., 3000 ms).
- Optionally configure pause, interaction, loop settings, and hide navigation controls, then publish and test your site.
Yes, the Webflow Slider can be set to automatically advance through slides using a built-in setting. This is referred to as Autoplay.
1. Enable Slider Autoplay
- Select the Slider component on the canvas.
- In the Element Settings Panel (D key), look for the Slider Settings section.
- Check the box labeled Autoplay.
- You’ll now see a field to set the delay in milliseconds between slide transitions. For example, enter 3000 for a 3-second delay.
2. Adjust Additional Settings (Optional)
- Pause between cycles: Check this option if you want the autoplay to pause briefly after one full cycle before starting over.
- Stop on interaction: Enable this if you want autoplay to stop when the user manually interacts with the slider.
- Infinite repeat: Enable this if you want the slider to loop forever.
- Hide Nav & Arrows: If your goal is a fully autonomous slider without controls, you can hide the slider arrows and navigation dots via the Style panel or by deleting them directly.
3. Publish and Test
- Publish your site to the staging or custom domain.
- Test across desktop and mobile to ensure autoplay works as expected.
Summary
To make a Webflow slider move forward automatically, enable the Autoplay setting in the Element Settings Panel and configure the delay time between slide transitions. Optionally, adjust pause behavior and navigation controls for full automation.
