Intermittent issue

Hi George,
I had a look at your site and it’s very strange…
As you say, when loading the home page the first time it’s fine, but when reloading the page the Slide Anything JavaScript is not being executed.

Are you running any caching plugins on your site? And if so, what happens when you disable the caching plugin?
Also I see that you have the SA Slider within your Header template – what happens when you put the slider within a page body? Maybe create a test page and add the slider within the body of that page, and see if the same thing happens.

Another thing…
I see that jQuery is being loaded twice within the source code – I see the lines:
<script src=”https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js&#8221; async></script> <script src=”https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js”></script&gt;
And:
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’https://pegasus-building.co.uk/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4′></script&gt;
Maybe this is causing an issue – try removing the first jQuery line if you can, and just use the WordPress built-in jQuery library.

Hi @simonpedge and @orangeoa,

I′m having the same intermittent issue with my website.

Sometimes the slider loads ok, sometimes it doesn′t.

But also, when it loads, the right arrow is not shown.

My website link is: https://www.gofree.com.br

Do you have any ideia on why this happens?

Hi, had a look at your site.
Something (a plugin or theme) is throwing out the following JavaScript error:
“Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function”

And this is causing the problem. You can see this by pressing “CTRL+SHIFT+J” keys together after the page has loaded (in FF or Chrome). Disable the ‘Slide Anything’ plugin and see if this JS error is still occurring.

Hi Simon,

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

I’ve seen this javascript error before, but it′s not related to your plugin. It’s a javacript for doubletap on mobile.

I’ve removed that code to test if that was causing the error, but the right arrow still does not appear.

I noticed this problem since the last SA Slider plugin update. I tried re-saving all the sliders, but it didn′t solve the problem.

What else could it be?

Tks

Another thing you can try…
Disable/Remove the ‘Slick.js’ slider (PRODUTOS EM DESTAQUE) on the home page, and see if the Slide Anything issue is resolved. Maybe the 2 slider products are conflicting.

(remember that the latest Slide Anything 2.x is built on Owl Carousel 2 so is different ‘under the hood’ from Slide Anything 1.x – which is built on Owl Carousel 1)

Ok!! Thanks so much Simon!

I′ll try removing this other “slider”.

By the way, do you have any idea on when are you going to release an update for the plugin? I’ve read some people asking you about some improvements at the min-height feature.

I really miss the ability to use pixels on it, but I get your point on using % now.

Hi Simon,

I think the double call of jquery scripts was the issue! Thanks for your help.

Thanks,
George C

Ok, I’m glad you managed to resolve this ??
