Here are the three simple steps to build your own horizontal scroll feature in your Elementor site:
  1. Add the CSS class horizontally to the ‘Posts’ element you want the effect applied to
  2. For the same post height, add CSS class scrollingCol to the column (not section) containing the posts
  3. You could also add the CSS code provided to EITHER

Adding horizontally CSS class to posts

Add horizontally CSS class to the Posts element under the Advanced tab.

Add horizontally css class to posts

Setting the post height

If you want to manipulate the post height, you add CSS class scrollingCol to the column containing the posts under the Advanced tab of the column similar to this.

The CSS code

The CSS code used to build the feature was readapted and repurposed from ElementorCodes.

There are multiple places you can add CSS. And depending on where you place it, you might need to tweak it a little bit.

Recommended for all

If you are running a content-heavy site like a movie website or any other kind of site where most of your archives need to scroll horizontally, then you might want to place the code in your child theme stylesheet or the style.css file of your child theme. Note that I am saying child theme instead of your theme because you do not want to lose the code every time your theme updates.

Recommended for Elementor Pro users

My favorite place is adding it directly to the page where you will have all your scrolling posts under the advanced tab in your page settings. This is only available to Elementor Pro users.

Recommended for Elementor Free users

You can add the code to an HTML element you can place anywhere on your page where your scrolling posts will be. Keep in mind that you only need to do it once and it can be placed anywhere on the page. But for this to work, you will need to add an open and closing style tag to the code.

The Code

In this code, you will find comments that will help you with the customization.
Copy the code then follow the instructions provided in the code comments. I focused on customizing the width and height of elements but you can get creative with it.
