How can I edit code to enable product swipe in collection tabs?

Topic summary

A user is seeking help to enable left/right swiping functionality for products displayed in collection tabs. They’ve shared their existing code, which uses jQuery UI tabs and Slick Carousel slider library.

Current Issue:

  • The code displays products in tabs but lacks proper swipe navigation
  • Products are limited to 4 items per collection

Attempted Solution:
Another user suggested changing the infinite: true attribute to infinite: false in the Slick Carousel settings, but this modification didn’t resolve the problem.

Status:
The discussion remains unresolved. The helper acknowledged the code appears correct and suggested the issue might be CSS-related rather than a JavaScript configuration problem. Further troubleshooting of the CSS styling may be needed to enable the swipe functionality.

Hello @extramor21 ,

Try to change this attribute
from

infinite: false,

to

infinite: true,

I tried but it did not work

Strange code seems fine.
Please once check the css part maybe it not working due to css.
