A developer is trying to convert a carousel slider back to a static grid display for featured collections on a Shopify store using the Flow theme. The site currently shows products in a carousel format, but the client wants a traditional grid layout instead.
Key Technical Details:
The carousel code appears to be in the collection--featured-collection.liquid file
References to ‘splide’ slider library found in the code
The ‘Featured Collection’ section has been modified from its default behavior
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
Confirmed the correct section type is selected in the theme editor
Attempted to remove HTML code from the section without success
Shared preview link for diagnosis
Current Status:
The issue remains unresolved
A support member has compared the modified theme against a fresh Flow theme installation and identified code differences
Requested theme files or store access to implement necessary code changes
Two YouTube tutorial links were shared by another user showing how to add collection sliders (though the goal is the opposite)

I’m currently working on a client’s site, and it seems that the featured collections sections have been changed to carousels. I can’t seem to remove and replace the code to make it a static featured collection again.
Thanks for the question on Shopify Community and welcome.
To understand this clearly, can you share the theme name and if possible kindly share the code of section of theme file to check and to provide a solution after doing significant changes on JS or section files.
I think the code snippet is in the collection–featured-collection.liquid folder:
The code is in the collection–featured-collection.liquid folder:
<I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but I’m sure you’ve heard of it.
<I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of a splide.
{% assign offsetvalue = 0 %}
{% for product in collection.products limit: product_limit %}
<{% assign offsetvalue = 0 %} {% for product in collection.products limit: product_limit %}
I have checked on Shopify Flow theme and found a section already available what you want to implement on your client’s store. Have you tried ‘Featured Collection’.
The problem is that the featured collection has been turned into a carousel slider. As you can see, the section chosen is indeed “featured collection” but the display is not the right one.
I compared the fresh theme and your theme code on preview link. We can fix it as we have to do some code changes.
Anyhow, can you send me your theme files.
You can click on Actions > Download theme file and use a secure medium to share the file or you can share only theme access to your store to be able to do changes.
