### Steps to Enable Scrolling in Owl Carousel
#### 1. Include Owl Carousel Dependencies
Ensure you have included the Owl Carousel CSS and JS files in your project. You can use a CDN or download the files from the [Owl Carousel website](https://owlcarousel2.github.io/OwlCarousel2/).
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/OwlCarousel2/2.3.4/assets/owl.carousel.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/OwlCarousel2/2.3.4/assets/owl.theme.default.min.css" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/OwlCarousel2/2.3.4/owl.carousel.min.js"></script>
#### 2. HTML Structure
Wrap your items in a container with a class, for example, `owl-carousel`.
<div class="owl-carousel">
<div class="item">
<h4>Tiefziehen</h4>
<p>Wir beschichten unterschiedlichste Werkstoffe...</p>
</div>
<div class="item">
<h4>Spritzguss</h4>
<p>Spritzgussteile sind vor allem bei höheren Auflagen...</p>
</div>
<div class="item">
<h4>Kabelkonfektion</h4>
<p>Kabel in allen Formen, Längen und Stückzahlen...</p>
</div>
</div>
#### 3. Initialize the Owl Carousel
Add the following script to initialize the carousel and make it scrollable:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
loop: true, // Enable infinite scrolling
margin: 10, // Space between items
nav: true, // Show navigation arrows
dots: true, // Show navigation dots
autoplay: true, // Enable auto-scroll
autoplayTimeout: 3000, // Time in milliseconds between auto-scroll
autoplayHoverPause: true, // Pause on hover
responsive: {
0: {
items: 1 // Number of items to show for small screens
},
600: {
items: 2 // Number of items for medium screens
},
1000: {
items: 3 // Number of items for large screens
}
}
});
});
#### 4. Styling (Optional)
You can customize the appearance using additional CSS:
.owl-carousel .item {
text-align: center;
padding: 20px;
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-radius: 8px;
}
.owl-nav button {
color: #000;
font-size: 18px;
background: transparent;
border: none;
outline: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
### Additional Features
– If you need a custom scrolling effect, you can modify the `autoplayTimeout` and `autoplaySpeed` options.
– To make the carousel swipeable on touch devices, Owl Carousel automatically supports touch gestures.

### Updated Implementation
#### 1. Modify HTML Structure
Add custom buttons outside or inside your `.owl-carousel` container for navigation. For example:
<div class="custom-carousel-container">
<!-- Custom Navigation Arrows -->
<button class="custom-prev"><img src="path-to-left-arrow-icon.png" alt="Left"></button>
<div class="owl-carousel">
<div class="item">
<h4>Tiefziehen</h4>
<p>Wir beschichten unterschiedlichste Werkstoffe...</p>
</div>
<div class="item">
<h4>Spritzguss</h4>
<p>Spritzgussteile sind vor allem bei höheren Auflagen...</p>
</div>
<div class="item">
<h4>Kabelkonfektion</h4>
<p>Kabel in allen Formen, Längen und Stückzahlen...</p>
</div>
</div>
<button class="custom-next"><img src="path-to-right-arrow-icon.png" alt="Right"></button>
</div>

#### 2. Initialize Owl Carousel and Bind Custom Buttons
Use JavaScript to bind your custom buttons to control the Owl Carousel.
$(document).ready(function () {
// Initialize Owl Carousel
const owl = $('.owl-carousel');
owl.owlCarousel({
loop: true, // Enable infinite scrolling
margin: 10, // Space between items
dots: false, // Disable default dots (you can add custom dots too)
nav: false, // Disable default nav buttons
autoplay: true, // Enable auto-scroll
autoplayTimeout: 3000, // Time in milliseconds between auto-scroll
autoplayHoverPause: true, // Pause on hover
responsive: {
0: {
items: 1
},
600: {
items: 2
},
1000: {
items: 3
}
}
});
// Custom Previous Button
$('.custom-prev').click(function () {
owl.trigger('prev.owl.carousel'); // Go to the previous slide
});
// Custom Next Button
$('.custom-next').click(function () {
owl.trigger('next.owl.carousel'); // Go to the next slide
});
});

#### 3. Custom Styling for Arrows
Style your custom arrows to position them properly. Here's an example of styling:
.custom-carousel-container {
position: relative;
}
.custom-prev,
.custom-next {
position: absolute;
top: 50%; /* Center vertically */
transform: translateY(-50%);
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
z-index: 1000; /* Ensure they are above the carousel items */
}
.custom-prev {
left: -40px; /* Position to the left of the carousel */
}
.custom-next {
right: -40px; /* Position to the right of the carousel */
}
.custom-prev img,
.custom-next img {
width: 30px; /* Adjust arrow size */
height: auto;
filter: drop-shadow(2px 2px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)); /* Optional shadow for better visibility */
}

### Explanation of Key Features
– **Custom Arrows**: The `custom-prev` and `custom-next` buttons are independent of Owl Carousel's default navigation. You can replace the “ elements with your desired icons or even CSS-only arrows.
– **Trigger Events**: The `owl.trigger('prev.owl.carousel')` and `owl.trigger('next.owl.carousel')` methods allow you to manually control the navigation of the carousel.
– **Flexible Positioning**: Use CSS to position the arrows as per your design (e.g., outside or inside the carousel).

controll above owl carousel from outside
### 1. Add Custom Controls Outside Carousel
Place your custom navigation arrows or buttons outside the carousel. For example:
<div class="custom-controls">
<button id="customPrev" class="btn">Previous</button>
<button id="customNext" class="btn">Next</button>
</div>
### 2. Initialize Owl Carousel
Ensure you initialize the Owl Carousel using its jQuery function:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#index-110280').owlCarousel({
nav: false, // Disable built-in navigation
autoplay: true,
autoplayTimeout: 3000,
loop: true,
items: 3, // Adjust based on your requirement
responsive: {
0: { items: 1 },
600: { items: 2 },
1000: { items: 3 }
}
});
// Bind custom controls to the Owl Carousel instance
const owl = $('#index-110280');
$('#customPrev').click(function () {
owl.trigger('prev.owl.carousel');
});
$('#customNext').click(function () {
owl.trigger('next.owl.carousel');
});
});
### 3. Explanation of Code
– **`owl.trigger('prev.owl.carousel')`**: Moves the carousel to the previous item.
– **`owl.trigger('next.owl.carousel')`**: Moves the carousel to the next item.
– **`nav: false`**: Disables the default navigation to avoid conflicts with your custom controls.
### 4. Styling the Custom Controls
You can style the buttons or links using CSS to make them look like arrows:
.custom-controls {
text-align: center;
margin: 20px 0;
}
.custom-controls .btn {
background-color: #007bff;
color: #fff;
border: none;
padding: 10px 20px;
font-size: 16px;
cursor: pointer;
border-radius: 4px;
margin: 0 5px;
transition: background-color 0.3s ease;
}
.custom-controls .btn:hover {
background-color: #0056b3;
}
### 5. (Optional) Add Play/Pause Controls
You can also add controls for play/pause functionality if required:
<div class="custom-controls">
<button id="customPrev" class="btn">Previous</button>
<button id="customPlay" class="btn">Play</button>
<button id="customPause" class="btn">Pause</button>
<button id="customNext" class="btn">Next</button>
</div>
$('#customPlay').click(function () {
owl.trigger('play.owl.autoplay', [3000]); // Play with a 3-second timeout
});
$('#customPause').click(function () {
owl.trigger('stop.owl.autoplay'); // Stop autoplay
});
### Final Output
This setup allows you to:
1. Control the carousel (previous/next) using external buttons.
2. Play/pause the carousel as needed.
3. Customize the controls and integrate them seamlessly with your layout.

from my js
### Steps to Bind Custom Controls
1. **Wait for the Carousel to Initialize**:
WPBakery might dynamically render the carousel, so ensure your custom JavaScript code runs after the Owl Carousel is fully initialized.
2. **Locate the Owl Carousel Container**:
Use the correct selector for the carousel container (like `#index-110280` in your case). This ID might be dynamic, so ensure it matches the rendered output.
3. **Bind the Custom Buttons**:
Add your custom navigation button logic in a way that triggers the corresponding Owl Carousel methods.
4. **Add Your JavaScript Code**:
Include your custom JavaScript in a file or inline within the theme. If you're using WPBakery, enqueue the script properly using `wp_enqueue_script`.
Here’s an example JavaScript setup:
### JavaScript Code
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
// Ensure the carousel is initialized
const owl = $('#index-110280');
if (owl.length) {
// Custom controls
$('#customPrev').click(function () {
owl.trigger('prev.owl.carousel');
});
$('#customNext').click(function () {
owl.trigger('next.owl.carousel');
});
} else {
console.warn('Owl Carousel instance not found');
}
});
### HTML for Custom Controls
Place your custom controls outside the Owl Carousel container in your WPBakery editor. For example:
<div class="custom-owl-controls">
<button id="customPrev" class="custom-nav-button">Prev</button>
<button id="customNext" class="custom-nav-button">Next</button>
</div>
### Important Notes:
1. **Dynamic IDs**:
If WPBakery generates a dynamic ID for each carousel instance (like `index-110280`), ensure your JavaScript dynamically selects the correct carousel. You can use a class like `.owl-carousel` instead of an ID to target all Owl Carousel instances:
const owl = $('.owl-carousel');
2. **WPBakery’s Post Carousel**:
Since WPBakery adds the carousel via its shortcode, ensure your script runs after the carousel is fully rendered. You can add the script in the footer of your theme or use `$(window).load()` for deferred loading:
$(window).on('load', function () {
// Add custom control logic here
});
3. **Enqueue the Script in WordPress**:
Add the custom JavaScript to your theme's `functions.php` file:
function enqueue_custom_owl_controls() {
wp_enqueue_script('custom-owl-controls', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/custom-owl-controls.js', array('jquery'), null, true);
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_custom_owl_controls');
4. **Ensure Owl Carousel is Loaded**:
If the Owl Carousel library is not already loaded by WPBakery, include it in your theme or plugin:
wp_enqueue_script('owl-carousel', 'path-to-owl-carousel.js', array('jquery'), null, true);
wp_enqueue_style('owl-carousel-css', 'path-to-owl-carousel.css');
This approach will ensure your custom navigation controls bind properly to the Owl Carousel instance generated by WPBakery.
