Frequently asked

Remote Arrows

Straight answers about what this one does, where it fits in a real build, and what it costs you to ship.

What does the Remote Arrows widget do?

It puts a slider prev and next control somewhere the slider itself cannot reach — a column beside the carousel, a heading row above it, or the opposite side of the page. Remote Arrows is a Sky Addons for Elementor widget that drives an existing slider rather than containing one.

How do I bind Remote Arrows to a particular slider?

Give the slider a CSS ID in its own Advanced tab, then type that same ID into the Remote ID field — without the hash. The arrows resolve that element at click time and call the slider next and previous methods on it directly.

What happens if I leave Remote ID empty?

The widget auto-detects. It walks up its own ancestors — classic sections and flexbox containers alike — and takes the first one that contains a slider, then drives that. It is the quickest route when the arrows and the carousel already share a container.

Can the arrows sit in a completely different part of the page?

Yes, and that is when Remote ID becomes required. Auto-detection only looks at containers the arrows are inside, so once they move outside the slider container — a sticky sidebar, a footer strip, another section — the ID is the only thing linking them.

What happens if no slider is found?

Nothing breaks: the arrows render and clicks quietly do nothing. Inside the Elementor editor a notice appears on the widget saying the slider could not be found automatically or by your ID, which is the signal that the ID is wrong or the target is not Swiper-based.

Does it work with sliders from other plugins?

It works with any slider built on Swiper, which is what most Elementor carousels use, including Elementor own. The widget looks for a live Swiper instance inside the target element, so a slider running a different library will not respond to it.

Can the arrows be used with a keyboard?

Yes. Each arrow is focusable, carries a button role and a Previous slide or Next slide label for screen readers, and answers to both Enter and Space as well as a mouse click.

Can I use words instead of chevrons?

Yes — each arrow has its own text, which starts as PREV and NEXT, and its own icon that can be swapped or left off. They can be laid out in a row, stacked in a column, or stacked in reverse, and the whole pair can be rotated and nudged on both axes.

Can one page have several sliders each with their own remote arrows?

Yes. Every Remote Arrows widget resolves its own target independently, so give each slider a distinct CSS ID and point each pair of arrows at the right one. Leaving them all on auto-detect is what causes arrows to drive the wrong carousel.

Do I still need the slider own arrows switched on?

No — turn the slider built-in navigation off and let the remote pair do the work, which is the usual reason for reaching for this widget. It requires no Elementor Pro licence; it ships with Sky Addons Pro alongside Remote Pagination and Remote Thumbs.
