Slider in Wordpress

I want to make a slider in my custom wordpress theme (using understrap):
I tried using flexslider, had a problem where i could not target the .slides ul for whatever reason. i edited it in my _theme.scss and also tried in the flexslider.css
Why did it work in the inspector, but not in the css / scss files?
This was the first hurdle. The second is, i dont want to have dots below to see what picture i am viewing, i want to have lines , in the right-middle of the picture which shows on an active state the number of the picture currently viewing, for example picture 1 is viewed, show "1" next to the active line.



as this has become impossible to solve with my current skills i am asking you guys to help me out please.



i would use the bootstrap carousel, too. But i am unsure how to edit the above mentioned css to create the desired outcome.



I do not want to use a wordpress plugin as this limits me probably in my decisions. I cannot do "if active state "1" then write "1" next to the picture" or something like that, if you know what i mean.



sorry for putting it really general but thats all i can provide as i have only the non - working flexslider locally installed.

          • that would ruin the smooth slider effect :/ the thing is, i dont want to use a wordpress plugin, because i want to a) learn, b) edit it myself to fit my needs, i want to have a horizontal carousel indicator in the middle of the screen. well i think with custom css thats an easier task and you dont rly need a plugin for this small stuff. im just not good enough yet
