When using a slider to display multiple images from a CMS collection on a collection list in Webflow, there can be a few issues that may arise. These issues can hinder the proper display and functionality of the slider. Below are some common problems and their possible solutions:

1. Images not displaying properly:

  • Make sure that the images in your CMS collection have been properly uploaded or linked to the respective collection items.
  • Check the image field settings in the collection to ensure they are pointing to the correct image source.
  • Verify that the images have the appropriate dimensions and file formats supported by Webflow.

2. Slider not cycling through all images:

  • Check the settings of the slider component to ensure that the "Autoplay" or "Autoplay interval" options are enabled and set to the desired value.
  • Make sure that the collection list is set up in a way that displays all the images. Ensure that there are no filters or conditions restricting the number of images shown.
  • Verify that the collection list and slider are properly connected by binding the correct Collection Lists to the Slider component.

3. Slider arrows or navigation not working:

  • Ensure that the arrows or navigation buttons used to navigate through the slider are properly linked to the slider component.
  • Check if there are any conflicting interactions or custom code that may be preventing the navigation from functioning correctly.
  • Double-check the z-index values of the different elements involved in the slider to ensure they are layered correctly.

4. Inconsistent image sizes or aspect ratios:

  • You can use CSS or Webflow's built-in styling options to adjust the image sizes and aspect ratios within the slider.
  • Apply custom CSS rules to control the dimensions and alignment of the images within the slider.
  • Consider using image resizing services or tools to ensure all images have consistent sizes and aspect ratios before uploading them to Webflow.

By troubleshooting these common issues, you should be able to resolve any problems you encounter when trying to display multi-images from a CMS collection on a slider in Webflow.
