How To Add Auto Slide Slick Animation In Multi-Column Section On Dawn Theme?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Goal: Add an auto-playing, infinite-loop, center-mode slider to the multi-column section on a Dawn theme homepage. The requester tried YouTube tutorials but couldn’t get them working, suspecting wrong classes/files.

Key clarification: The referenced tutorial demonstrates a product image slider and uses Flickity, not Slick, so the steps don’t apply to the multi-column section. Implementing autoplay for that section will require modifying different theme files than shown in the video.

Current status and next steps: A helper has offered to work on a solution specifically for the multi-column section and will report back once it’s done. No code or exact file changes have been provided yet; outcome pending.

Notes: External links include the storefront, an example video (Google Drive) illustrating the desired effect, and the YouTube tutorial (central for context but not directly applicable). The thread remains open with no resolution yet.

I need help in incorporation of auto-slide slick feature to my multi-column section of https://howimetmysole.com on home page. I have seen many tutorials on YouTube for this but none of them is working for me (Maybe I’m working with wrong class or wrong file). I’m using dawn theme.

Here is what I am trying to do :- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GNwi-cTC7eB8tUEPoYF7W_TJwJROrffI/view?usp=sharing

Hi @holygrails_in ,

The video shows how to make a slider ofor the product images. The step is not same for the multi-column section. Also the video tutorial uses filckty slider. We will have to modify different files to make the slider autoplay.
