A Flip Box carousel can be controlled by a separate Carousel Remote widget – next/previous buttons or dots placed anywhere on the page.
This doc covers the Flip Box side of that connection; see the Carousel Remote widget’s own docs for its matching field.
For the full settings tour of the Flip Box widget, see How to Add a Flip Box in Elementor.
Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Before You Start
- Prerequisite: Elementor (free) installed and active.
- Widget to enable: go to The Plus Addons > Widgets, search for Flip Box and turn its toggle on.
- Prerequisite: a Carousel Remote widget already placed on the same page, and the Flip Box set to carousel mode (see the Carousel doc).
Steps
- Set the Flip Box widget’s Type to carousel mode.
- Under Carousel Options, set a Unique Carousel ID.
- On the Carousel Remote widget, set its matching ID field to the same value.
- Publish the page and confirm the remote controls move the Flip Box carousel.
Settings Overview
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Unique Carousel ID | The identifier a Carousel Remote widget connects to. | (empty) |
Limitations
- Both widgets must share a page and use matching IDs; there is no visual confirmation in the editor that the connection is live.
Not verified
So you know exactly what has and has not been checked:
- This doc’s headline claim (Carousel Remote actually moving the Flip Box carousel) was not built or tested on the front end in this pass – it needs a fixture with both widgets present and a real interaction test before anything here is treated as confirmed.
