[Plugin: Gallery Carousel Without JetPack] Not working :/

Can you please make sure that your theme has the code:

wp_head(); present in the header before the closing head tag

and wp_footer(); present before the closing body tag.

I checked my code and followed the instructions provided on your website and mine isn’t working either. Do you have any guesses? The site I’m working on is here.

I needed to add <?php wp_footer(); ?> in footer.php
now works correctly
thanks!

Bellemode – Your theme is loading jQuery version 1.4.4 … this is the reason why this plugin is not working. Please upgrade to the latest jQuery version that WordPress uses. 1.7.2

I fixed it with https://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js, so it’s never an issue again. Thanks for the help.

When you say you fixed it with that code, I’m not sure what you actually did with it, saved it in your header.php? I’m fairly new to WordPress and trying to get carousel to work. Unfortunately there’s something in my custom child template that is keeping it from working… I do have the header and footer functions in the template, so its not that…

I have installed and activated on the suffusion theme as it really ‘looks the part’. No joy! If the carousel is working, where do you assign it to a page or post? and how do you assign images to it? – regards

@ianpix – You need to utilize the built-in gallery feature. This article will show you how:

I have tried the ‘in built’ sliders/gallery but yours looked better. I will follow your link and have another think. Thanks.

@ianpix the gallery feature in WordPress (not the gallery feature in your theme). All you have to do is upload multiple images in one post. Then there is a gallery tab. Insert the gallery shortcode

[gallery]

As long as you have this plugin active, it should open a carousel.

I have uploaded a gallery to a page, the plugin gives me a lightbox but no carousel. inserting the short code gives me a second (identical gallery) with different image spacing. Any thoughts? – regards

Hi..in my case the plugin was working perfectly earlier.. but now has suddenly stopped working and the images in the gallery now open in a new tab in browser when clicked rather than in carousel.The plugin is active as well the media settings are correct.Any help will be appreciated ..
