Add Navigation Arrows in WooCommerce Product Gallery Slider
You can add Navigation Arrows in WooCommerce Product Gallery by adding a filter and then some CSS. WooCommerce uses a slider called Flexslider and it has a few more configurable options.
In functions.php add
add_filter( 'woocommerce_single_product_carousel_options', 'sf_update_woo_flexslider_options' ); /** * Filer WooCommerce Flexslider options - Add Navigation Arrows */ function sf_update_woo_flexslider_options( $options ) { $options['directionNav'] = true; return $options; }
Then style in some CSS
ul.flex-direction-nav { position: absolute; top: 30%; z-index: 99999; width: 100%; left: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0px; list-style: none;} li.flex-nav-prev {float: left;} li.flex-nav-next {float: right;} a.flex-next {visibility:hidden;} a.flex-prev {visibility:hidden;} a.flex-next::after { visibility:visible;content: '\f054'; font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free'; margin-right: 10px; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; } a.flex-prev::before { visibility:visible; content: '\f053'; font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free'; margin-left: 10px; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; } ul.flex-direction-nav li a { color: #ccc; } ul.flex-direction-nav li a:hover { text-decoration: none; } ul.flex-direction-nav li a { color: #ccc; } ul.flex-direction-nav li a:hover { text-decoration: none; }
The flexslider has some more options you can manipulate…
'flexslider' => apply_filters( 'woocommerce_single_product_carousel_options', array( 'rtl' => is_rtl(), 'animation' => 'slide', 'smoothHeight' => true, 'directionNav' => false, 'controlNav' => 'thumbnails', 'slideshow' => false, 'animationSpeed' => 500, 'animationLoop' => false, // Breaks photoswipe pagination if true. 'allowOneSlide' => false, )),
