Once you add the Dynamic Categories widget on the page, after choosing the correct Style and Taxonomies, set the layout to <strong>Carousel<\/strong> from the <strong>Layout<\/strong> dropdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/dynamic-categories-layout.png\" alt=\"dynamic categories layout\" class=\"wp-image-104684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/dynamic-categories-layout.png 300w, https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/dynamic-categories-layout-226x300.png 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Then go to the <strong>Style<\/strong> tab &gt; <strong>Carousel Options<\/strong> and add a unique id in the <strong>Unique Carousel ID<\/strong> field. This can be any combination of letters and numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"1020\" src=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/dynamic-categories-uc-id.png\" alt=\"dynamic categories unique connection id\" class=\"wp-image-104696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/dynamic-categories-uc-id.png 300w, https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/dynamic-categories-uc-id-88x300.png 88w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Now select the Carousel Remote widget, then go to the <strong>Content<\/strong> tab, add the same ID in the <strong>Unique Connection ID<\/strong> field and make sure <strong>Remote Type<\/strong> is selected as <strong>Carousel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/carousel-remote-uc-id-remote.png\" alt=\"carousel remote unique connection id remote\" class=\"wp-image-104662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/carousel-remote-uc-id-remote.png 300w, https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/carousel-remote-uc-id-remote-221x300.png 221w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Now you can have two different types of navigation, a Next and Previous button and Dots (image or icon). You can use either one or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) To use the next previous button go to <strong>Prev\/Next<\/strong> tab and turn on the <strong>Next\/Prev Button<\/strong> toggle. You\u2019ll find some customisation options as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/remote-next-prev.png\" alt=\"carousel remote next prev\" class=\"wp-image-104629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/remote-next-prev.png 300w, https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/remote-next-prev-182x300.png 182w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>b) But if you want to use dot navigation, then go to the <strong>Dots<\/strong> tab and turn on the <strong>Dots<\/strong> toggle. Now make sure to have the same number of dot items as the number of slides in your Dynamic Categories widget. You will get some customisation options for your dot navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/remote-dots.png\" alt=\"carousel remote dots\" class=\"wp-image-104630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/remote-dots.png 300w, https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2023\/02\/remote-dots-138x300.png 138w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind if the number of categories will vary over time then for easy maintenance, you should use the <strong>Prev\/Next <\/strong>navigation option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Note: You should disable all the navigation options for the Dynamic Categories widget for the best user experience.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn <a href=\"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/docs\/carousel-remote-sync-with-elementor-dynamic-listing-carousel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to connect the Dynamic Listing widget with the Carousel Remote widget<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":104697,"parent":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","docs":[547,527],"class_list":["post-104695","documents","type-documents","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","docs-carousel-remote","docs-plus-widgets"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents\/104695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/documents"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documents\/104695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"docs","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etemplates.wdesignkit.com\/theplusaddons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs?post=104695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
