A user working with Shopify’s Dawn theme encountered issues enabling a carousel slider for their featured collection section. The initial problem was that the “Add carousel on Desktop” option didn’t work as expected, and the display showed unwanted “1/4” pagination indicators instead of slider navigation buttons.
Solutions provided:
Hide pagination counters: Add CSS to hide .slider-counter elements using display: none !important
Add navigation arrows: Multiple CSS snippets were shared to display and position slider buttons on desktop and mobile, including styling them as circular white buttons
Prevent conflicts: Scope CSS using #shopify-section-{{ section.id }} to avoid affecting other sliders on the site
Implementation location: Add the CSS directly to the featured-collection.liquid section file below the schema, rather than in global CSS files
Key challenges:
Navigation buttons initially appeared on unintended sections (like the homepage slideshow)
Mobile responsiveness required media queries to hide/show buttons appropriately
The user struggled with proper CSS placement until realizing it needed to go in the section-specific file
The discussion concluded with the user resolving most issues independently, though they requested additional help with desktop carousel functionality for the collection list. A video tutorial link was also shared as an alternative resource.

Thanks for replying so early! I figured how to add the slide in desktop and mobile but it is showing that 1/4 - 1/3 thingy. How do you remove the 1/4 stuff and add slider buttons?
@AryavK ,You can achieve this by simply inserting a small piece of code into your custom.css or base.css, where you include your CSS. See the attached screenshot.
Hello @AryavK , Please add this all CSS in your Feature collections section file with the section id CSS, then it should not effects any other sliders.
Hello @AryavK , Remove your only that CSS which i gave it to you in first reply, please add it to your section file as per my last reply with edit code window, add that CSS which is in second reply the code with Section id.
