Related Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the Flip Box carousel is not displaying correctly?

If the Flip Box carousel isn't displaying as expected, ensure that you've added a unique ID in the Unique Carousel ID field of the Flip Box widget. This ID must match the Unique Connection ID in the Carousel Remote widget. If these IDs don't match, the connection won't work, leading to display issues.

What are the best navigation options for the Flip Box carousel?

When using the Next/Previous buttons for navigation in the Flip Box carousel, you can customize their appearance under the Prev/Next tab. This includes options for color, size, and style, allowing you to match the buttons with your site's design for a cohesive look.
