This is an example of using custom events for navigation.
$(document).ready(function() {
var owl = $("#owl-demo");
owl.owlCarousel();
// Custom Navigation Events
$(".next").click(function(){
owl.trigger('owl.next');
})
$(".prev").click(function(){
owl.trigger('owl.prev');
})
});
<div class="customNavigation"> <a class="btn prev">Previous</a> <a class="btn next">Next</a> </div> <div id="owl-demo" class="owl-carousel owl-theme"> <div class="item"><h1>1</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>2</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>3</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>4</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>5</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>6</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>7</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>8</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>9</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>10</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>11</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>12</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>13</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>14</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>15</h1></div> <div class="item"><h1>16</h1></div> </div>
