How can I stop and reset the slider to the first slide when the Webflow popup is closed, so that it always starts with the first slide when displayed?

To stop and reset the slider to the first slide when the Webflow popup is closed, you can use custom code and interactions. Follow the steps below to achieve this:

  1. Identify the class or ID of the popup element in Webflow.

  2. Open the Designer and navigate to the page where the popup is located.

  3. Add a new HTML Embed element to the page, either inside the popup element or somewhere in the page structure.

  4. In the HTML Embed element, add the following code:

    ```html

    ```

    Make sure to replace "your-slider-class" with the actual class or ID of your slider element and "your-close-button-class" with the class or ID of your close button element.

  5. Save your changes and publish the site.

Now, whenever the popup is closed, the slider will automatically reset to the first slide. Note that this code assumes you are using the Webflow Slider component. If you are using a third-party slider or a custom-built slider, you may need to modify the code accordingly.

Additional tips:

  • Be careful when modifying code in HTML Embed elements, as it can affect the functionality of your site. Test thoroughly after making any changes.
  • If you are not comfortable with coding, consider reaching out to a developer or using Webflow's built-in interactions to achieve similar effects.

By implementing this solution, you will ensure that your Webflow popup always starts with the first slide, providing a better user experience for your visitors.
