By default, a WordPress carousel slider will have some navigation controls like arrows or dots but at times you might want to hide them especially if you are controlling the slider with some other blocks like the Carousel Remote block.

With our Carousel Anything block not only you can show or hide arrows and dots navigations individually but you can make a lot of customizations as well.

So let’s see dots first, add the block on the page and after you’ve created your slides go to the Style tab, Dots & Arrows > Dots to hide the dots turn off the toggle.
