In this documentation, we will discuss the customization of the Remote Arrows slider widget, brought to you by the Prime Slider addon for Elementor. Please remember that the Remote Arrows are only compatible with Swiper-based slider or carousel widgets. It acts as a separate navigation element that can be customized and positioned independently from the main slider layout.
Enable The Remote Arrows Widget
To use the Remote Arrows widget from Prime Slider, first, you have to enable the widget.
Go to WordPress dashboard > Prime Slider Plugin dashboard.
Then, Click the Core Widgets Tab.
Search the Remote Arrows widget Name.
Enable the Remote Arrows widget.
Hit the Save Settings Button.
Inserting The Remote Arrows
To use a remote widget, first add a Swiper-based slider like the Mercury Slider (for example) to your page in Elementor, then link it to the remote widget. Make sure both Elementor and Prime Slider are installed before using the widget.
Go to the Elementor Editor Page and Hit the “+” icon Button.
Search the Mercury slider.
Drag the widget and drop it on the editor page.
After adding the Mercury Slider, insert the Remote Arrows widget anywhere on the page. It doesn’t need to be directly below the slider. It will work from any position.
Go to the Elementor Editor Page and hit the “+” icon Button.
Search the Remote Arrows widget.
Drag the widget and drop it on the editor page.
Linking the Remote Arrows with the Slider
Set CSS ID for the Slider
Select Slider (Mercury) > Advanced > Layout > CSS ID
1. CSS ID: You have to assign a CSS ID to the slider to link up with the remote Arrows. For example, we have used the CSS ID as Mercury and copied it to use later on the remote Arrows widget.
Set CSS ID for the Widget
Go to Content > Remote Arrows
1. Remote Carousel ID: In this option, you have to paste the CSS ID that was already used and copied on the slider CSS ID option. (Note: Please remember that the CSS ID has to be the same on both the slider and the widget, or else the Arrows won’t be visible.)
The link up with the Mercury Slider and the Remote Arrows widget is done. Now let’s customize the Remote Arrows.
