how can I get carousels to automatically rotate (autoplay)?

I've got a couple of carousels on this page that I'd like to automatically rotate (autoplay) when the page loads. Especially on mobile as it's not immediately clear that there is more content which the user doesn't see unless they click the left or right arrow buttons. 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,

Which carousel are you using? Summary Block Carousel, Gallery Block Carousel... Can you share link to that page?

Hi @tuanphan

You can take a look in here https://carnation-point-bfjy.squarespace.com/config/pages
Thank you!

hi @tuanphan

sorry, I thought I had included a link, but I guess I didn't.

It's on this page: hitonoto.com/portfolio (password is squarespace01).

I'm not sure what kind of carousel it is. It just says carousel (please see attached screenshot).

The code in previous comment should work on your case, you can try it first

Thanks so much @tuanphan
It works! can I hide the arrows on desktop and maintain the autoplay? Can I adjust the style (font, color, size) and placement of the Title and button?

I appreciate your time and help!

Just add this code to Custom CSS

/* hide slideshow arrows */
.user-items-list-banner-slideshow .arrow-container {
    visibility: hidden;
}

Thanks @tuanphan! It works.
Can I now make the transition between slides a bit smoother? and adjust the timing?

Thanks again for your help

Adjust this line

Thank you thank you @tuanphan!
I am getting SO close. Could a numbered navigation be added at the bottom and the title right on top? Keepin the whole image as a link opening on a new page. See mock up for reference

Numbered: It requires a lot of code, It will take a lot of time, you can consider another approach

You mean remove title or move title to top?

hi @tuanphan

Thank you very much for your help and apologies for the late reply! 

I added the code to the footer and it works. Kind of.... The weird thing is that I have two carousels on that page and only one is now auto-rotating. I can't find any reason why the second one wouldn't rotate.

Could you offer any explanation? Many thanks!

You try enable Arrows on second carousel (we can use code to make it transparent then)

hi @tuanphan

I enabled the arrows on the second carousel and now it rotates. Thank you!

I actually don't mind the arrows, but just in case, would you mind sharing how I can hide them per carousel individually? 

Many thanks!

Use this CSS code

/* hide slideshow arrows */
[data-section-id="enter id"] .user-items-list-banner-slideshow .arrow-container {
    visibility: hidden;
}

Replace with your data section id, use this free tool to find data section id

Hello, @tuanphan I'm wondering if you have any advice on how to make the scroll smoother like it is on this site (not sure if this is SS) https://www.tommarkhenry.studio/

Yesterday I see a plugin, can achieve this, If you need link, let me know, I will find and send you

with code, I don't know any code.

You can also consider using Gallery Grid instead of List, see this guide

Thank you, I did manage to sort this now: https://grouper-sepia-9rks.squarespace.com/home-1

Now I'm trying to achieve something else, if you have any advice? I'd like to have a pause on hover effect, only for the image to pause and a description underneath, not the change to colour: https://www.tommarkhenry.studio/
