How Do You Make a Slider Loop in Webflow?

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a slider loop in Webflow. A slider is a popular web design element that allows you to display multiple images or content in a single section of your website.

By default, sliders in Webflow automatically move from one slide to another. However, sometimes you may want the slider to loop back to the beginning once it reaches the last slide. Let’s see how we can achieve this.

Step 1: Setting up the Slider

To begin, let’s create a new section on our webpage where we want the slider to appear. We can do this by adding a div block and giving it a class name, for example “slider-container”. Inside this div block, we will add another div block and give it a class name “slider”.

HTML:

<div class="slider-container">
  <div class="slider">
    <!-- Add slides here -->
  </div>
</div>

Step 2: Creating Slides

Now that we have set up our slider container, let’s add some slides inside the “slider” div block. Each slide will be represented by a separate div block with a class name “slide”. You can add as many slides as you want.

HTML:

<div class="slider-container">
  <div class="slider">
    <div class="slide">
      <!-- Content of first slide -->
    </div>
    <div class="slide">
      <!-- Content of second slide -->
    </div>
    <div class="slide">
      <!-- Content of third slide -->
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Step 3: Adding Custom Code

To make our slider loop, we need to add some custom code to our Webflow project. Click on the “Custom Code” tab in the Webflow Designer and add the following code:

HTML:

<script>
  $('.slider').on('before-slide', function(event, slick, currentSlide, nextSlide){
    var slidesPerPage = slick.options.slidesToShow;

    if (nextSlide === 0) {
      var slideIndex = slick.slideCount - slidesPerPage;

      setTimeout(function(){
        $('.slick('slickGoTo', slideIndex);
      }, 10);
    }
  });
</script>

Step 4: Preview and Publish

That’s it! Now you can preview your website in Webflow or publish it to see how the slider loop works. As you navigate through the slides, you will notice that once you reach the last slide, the slider automatically loops back to the first slide.

Note: Make sure you have included the jQuery library in your Webflow project for this custom code snippet to work properly.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to create a slider loop in Webflow. By following these simple steps and adding a few lines of custom code, we were able to make our slider automatically loop back to the beginning once it reaches the last slide. This can be a great way to engage your website visitors and showcase multiple images or content in a visually appealing manner.

Remember to experiment with different styles, animations, and transitions to make your slider even more engaging and unique!
