    After recent updates to WordPress and/or Smart Slider 3 plugin and/or Autoptimize plugin (not sure which one broke the functionality of Smart Slider 3), Smart Slider 3 started showing a blank space instead of the slide show.

    In its FAQ, Smart Slider 3 addresses the blank space issue as Javascript related. To quote,

    It means that there is a JavaScript error on your site which blocks other scripts(for example Smart Slider’s scripts). You can open up the browser debugger window with F12 button and check the console if it shows error or not. If you solve these errors Smart Slider should work fine.

    Usual problem is that you have the latest WordPress version, but your theme loads very old jQuery version (1.7 or older) and the WordPress admin bar throws a JavaScript error. In this case, you have to remove the old jQuery from your theme’s functions.php.

    Taking the cue, I unchecked Optimize JavaScript Code? in the Autoptimize options (it was checked until recently and Smart Slider 3 worked fine), and voila, Smart Slider 3 is working again!

    This is a short term fix until the plugin devs (not sure which one or one(s) straighten things out.
