Slider stopped working

    This plug-in recently stopped working on a couple sites I’m using it on. Latest version of WordPress, latest version of the plug-in, but nothing works.

    When I check out the page’s code, it seems like the content is still present, but the script that shows and hides the separate slides, doesn’t seem to do anything.

    For example, on https://hoedoktersbeterkunnenworden.nl/, I have a slider in the header, between the title and the orange button, but nothing is showing. Even when I temporarily deactivate my theme’s stylesheet, the slides do not appear.

    Please help?

    You have a JavaScript error on this page:
    jQuery is not defined
    (press CTRL+SHIFT+J to show JavaScript errors)

    Slide Anything requires jQuery to have been loaded BEFORE SA sliders can be initialised. So something has changed on your site whereby jQuery is now being loaded towards the end of the page-load (after SA initialisation). This is often a result of optimization plugins being added to defer loading of jQuery to speed up page load times (‘above the fold’). Or themes/page-builders adding these optimization settings in an update.

    What you can try doing is:
    1) Tick the ‘DOMContentLoaded event‘ checkbox under ‘Other Settings’ for your slider settings
    2) If this doesn’t work, look through caching/optimization plugin (or theme/page-builder options) to find settings referring to Combining JavaScript or Deferring JavaScript load – try disabling these settings.

    Thank you so much for your swift and great reply! On the site I gave as an example, this worked like a charm. On another one, not yet, but that may have to do with the fact that that site isn’t updated to WP6 yet. I’ll try and experiment with that one.

    Once again, thanks so much for the help!
