To make the arrows in your Webflow slider automatically adjust to match the width of each testimonial slide, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a new slider component to your Webflow project or locate the existing slider element that you want to modify.

  2. Select the slider component and navigate to the "Settings" tab in the right-hand panel.

  3. Scroll down to the "Navigation" section and make sure the "Arrows" option is enabled. This will display the navigation arrows on your slider.

  4. Next, click on the slider element (the container that holds all the slide elements) to select it.

  5. In the Styles panel, click on the "+" icon next to "Size" to add a new size property.

  6. In the "Width" field, enter the percentage value that represents the width of your slide. For example, if your slide is 100% wide, enter "100%".

  7. Click on the blue arrow next to "Width" to open the "Add nth-child" dialog. This allows you to apply different styles to each slide within the slider.

  8. Select the "All" option in the "Create rules for" dropdown menu. This will apply the following styling to all the slides.

  9. In the "Property" dropdown menu, select "Width".

  10. In the "Value" field, enter "100%" to make each slide fill the entire width of the slider container.

  11. With the slider element still selected, switch over to the "Navigator" panel, which displays all the slide elements within the slider.

  12. Select the first slide element in the "Navigator" panel and then go back to the Styles panel.

  13. Click on the blue arrow next to "Width" to open the "Add nth-child" dialog again.

  14. This time, select the "Even" option in the "Create rules for" dropdown menu. This will apply the following styling to the even-numbered slides.

  15. In the "Property" dropdown menu, select "Width".

  16. In the "Value" field, enter "50%" to make each even-numbered slide fill 50% of the slider container width.

  17. Repeat steps 12-16 for the second slide element, but this time select the "Odd" option in the "Create rules for" dropdown menu. This will apply the following styling to the odd-numbered slides.

  18. In the "Value" field, enter "50%" to make each odd-numbered slide also fill 50% of the slider container width.

  19. Preview your slider to see the arrows adjust automatically to match the width of each testimonial slide.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the arrows in your Webflow slider adjust their position correctly based on the width of each testimonial slide, providing a seamless and user-friendly experience.
