Navigation arrows in Woocommerce 3.x product gallery slider

Has anyone been able to add navigation arrows for Next/Prev slides in the new woocommerce slider?

The thumbnail navigation particularly on mobile/table is great, but having arrows as well for desktop users would be a dream! Arrows on the main product image are preferred over the lightbox. You will understand why on our site: http://52.56.199.58/collection/bedroom/giorgetti-syn-bedside-table/

Would seem an easy and obvious option that Woocommerce has forgotten. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Cheers

You can update the Flexslider options in WooCommerce V3 by hooking into the 'woocommerce_single_product_carousel_options' filter. So specifically to enable the navigation arrows the 'directionNav' option should be set to 'true'.

Put this example function in your functions.php file and you should be good to go:

// Update WooCommerce Flexslider options

add_filter( 'woocommerce_single_product_carousel_options', 'ud_update_woo_flexslider_options' );

function ud_update_woo_flexslider_options( $options ) {

    $options['directionNav'] = true;

    return $options;
}

Some more tested value with woocommerce 3.5.3

add_filter('woocommerce_single_product_carousel_options', 'ud_update_woo_flexslider_options');
function ud_update_woo_flexslider_options($options) {
      // show arrows
      $options['directionNav'] = true;
      $options['animation'] = "slide";

      // infinite loop
      $options['animationLoop'] = true;

      // autoplay (work with only slideshow too)
      $options['slideshow'] = true;
      //$options['autoplay'] = true;

      // control par texte (boolean) ou bien par vignettes
      // $options['controlNav'] = true;
      //$options['controlNav'] = "thumbnails";

      // $options['mousewheel'] = true;

      return $options;
  }
