Can I code something in Webflow to set up 5 separate Slick Sliders with the same settings?

TL;DR
  • Use custom code in Webflow Project Settings to add Slick Slider's CSS and JS links. 
  • Ensure each slider has a unique class and include a single script in Page Settings to apply settings to all sliders. 
  • Publish and test for consistent slider functionality.

To set up 5 separate Slick Sliders with the same settings in Webflow, you'd typically need to incorporate custom code. Since direct HTML code blocks aren't allowed here, I'll guide you using inline instructions.

​

1. Understand Slick Slider and Webflow Interactions

  • Slick Slider is a popular jQuery plugin used for creating responsive sliders.
  • Webflow allows for custom code, so you can implement Slick Slider by adding scripts in the Project Settings or directly in the page’s settings.

​

2. Prepare Your Design Elements

  • Ensure each of your slider elements in Webflow has a unique class.
  • For example, you can use classes like .my-slider-1, .my-slider-2, etc.

​

3. Integrate Slick Slider

  • Acquire the Slick Slider reference by including its CSS and JS in your project. Add these links in the Project Settings > Custom Code section, within the <head> and before the </body> respectively.
  • CSS link sample: Use <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.slick.carousel/1.8.1/slick.min.css" loading="lazy">.
  • JS link sample: Include <script src="https://cdn.slick.carousel/1.8.1/slick.min.js"></script>.

​

4. Apply Consistent Settings to All Sliders

  • In Page Settings, under Custom Code, include the following within <script></script> tags:
  • $(document).ready(function(){ $(".my-slider-1, .my-slider-2, .my-slider-3, .my-slider-4, .my-slider-5").slick({ // your settings here }); });
  • Replace // your settings here with your desired Slick Slider settings, e.g., autoplay: true, dots: true.

​

5. Publish and Test

  • Publish your Webflow site and verify that each slider functions as expected with the defined settings.

​

Summary

You can effectively set up 5 separate Slick Sliders in Webflow with the same settings by linking the Slick library, ensuring proper class application, and invoking a unified configuration. Ensure script and CSS links are correctly added to integrate Slick Slider functionality.
