Image Scroller stopped working

There is an error in your JS

You are getting three errors on the page:

1) GET https://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/jquery.cycle.all.latest.js 403 (Forbidden) https://www.artisantimberandflooring.co.uk/:18

2) Uncaught TypeError: Property ‘$’ of object [object Object] is not a function functions.js:1

3) Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method ‘cycle’

The first one appears to be a permission issue, thus the forbidden error. It is not able to pull the necessary js file (jquery.cycle.all.latest.js).

The second and third errors are most likely appearing because the first file is not being called.

The second error generally means that you are attempting to use jQuery in a no-conflict mode using ‘$’ when you should preferably be calling jQuery IN no-conflict mode by swapping out all ‘$’ with ‘jQuery’. WordPress includes jQuery in no conflict mode to begin with.

Hi Evan
Thanks for quick response. No changes have been made to the website so is it just a js file needs updating?
Thanks.

Personally I would go download the javascript file from the malsup github and host it on your site and then call it locally to avoid any issues.

The owner of that file could now be preventing others from pulling it from the cdn or github or however they are distributing it.

This seems to be the code your looking for, maybe the link where the code is being called from has since changed:

https://malsup.github.io/jquery.cycle.all.js

where as it looks like your pulling it from:

https://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/jquery.cycle.all.latest.js

Try swapping out the urls

Hi
Which file am I replacing? Is it “js/jquery.simplyscroll-1.0.4.min.js” ?
Thanks

I dont believe that is the one you want to replace. You are looking for

jquery.cycle.all.js

It looks like somewhere in your code you are pulling a script from an external location; the location being https://cloud.github.com/downloads/malsup/cycle/jquery.cycle.all.latest.js

try and find that and swap that out for
https://malsup.github.io/jquery.cycle.all.js

if the fading images are at the top of your homepage only, it may be at the top of index.php, or else it may be located in functions.php

Thanks very Evan. All sorted. Really appreciated your help & guidance.

Great, glad everything is resolved.

Have a wonderful afternoon!
