slider isn't sliding

I forgot: link to my site https://wjvalkema.nl/

Meanwhile my slider is actually working. I’m not that of a code expert but I tried calling jQuery in the header like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

and voila it’s sliding like a charm.. but I would still like to know why it occured..

jQuery is being enqueued in the plugin so it should automatically load. Seeing how all other scripts are properly loading (and since it works on my end) I do not think the issue lies with the plugin.

Perhaps another plugin/your theme is dequeuing jQuery? Keep me up to date, if it turns out it is actually an issue with the plugin I would like to fix it!

Hiya,

I just updated my website to wordpress 3.6.1, and updated all my plugins as well. The slider stopped working for me after the upgrade. I added the script tag mentioned by wimwam above:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

…and the slider resumed working properly. Just figured I’d let you know, and thank wimwam for his post.

Thanks for your reply. However the plugin is calling jQuery as it should

wp_enqueue( 'jquery' );

Meaning it will load the noConflict version of jQuery supplied by wordpress.

The fact that it doesn’t work for you or wimwam is very likely caused by a theme or plugin that is dequeuing jquery and calling it’s own (possibly horribly outdated) version. That said, I can’t say for sure. Hard to tell without having the exact same setup.
