Title: [Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com] Can't get carousel working Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com] Can't get carousel working * Resolved [Jojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rework/) * (@rework) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/) * Hi * I have the latest version of Jetpack installed (1.6.1) but cannot seem to get carousel working on my wordpress site. It says in the information that it should just automatically apply itself to all current wordpress galleries but it’s just not happening 🙁 * Is anyone able to give me some advice on how I can get it up and running please? Here’s the link [http://jamieflynnbase.com/sponsors/](http://jamieflynnbase.com/sponsors/) * Many thanks * Jo * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Rajesh Namase](https://wordpress.org/support/users/namaserajesh/) * (@namaserajesh) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945160) * Yeah same here on my blog [Techlila](http://www.techlila.com). I’ve started using Image Zoom Plugin. It’ll be better if I found solution to get carousel working. * Thread Starter [Jojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rework/) * (@rework) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945187) * Hi Rajesh * Many thanks, tried that plugin and it worked straight away!! * Thank you so much. * Don’t suppose you know a plugin that will also ‘blur’ the edges of images as well do you? * Plugin Contributor [Tim Moore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmoorewp/) * (@tmoorewp) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945189) * Did you go to the Jetpack menu and click Activate on the Carousel module? * Thread Starter [Jojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rework/) * (@rework) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945190) * Yes I did. Just didn’t work at all. No errors or anything. Just had no affect on the images at all. * I’ve actually installed another plugin for now that is working. But would be great if I could get the jetpack issue resolved and use that instead. * Plugin Contributor [Tim Moore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmoorewp/) * (@tmoorewp) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945191) * Carousel will take over the [gallery shortcode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode) that is built in to WordPress. Are you using those? * Thread Starter [Jojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rework/) * (@rework) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945195) * I did try that way, and I also tried using the built in gallery option within wordpress [ but still no joy.](http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/) * Plugin Contributor [Tim Moore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmoorewp/) * (@tmoorewp) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945196) * Do you have the jQuery Colorbox plugin active? you may need to deactivate this to get Carousel to work. * Thread Starter [Jojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rework/) * (@rework) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945197) * No, I tried deactivating all plugins related to images to see if something was affecting it but it still didn’t work. * However, not sure if this is related or not but I’ve been having some problems uploading a few images as well. Not all images but some. I receive the following error: * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16000 bytes) in /home/jamiefly/public_html/wp-includes/media.php on line 258 * Could it be a related problem as they’re both image errors? * [alvaradopau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alvaradopau/) * (@alvaradopau) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945199) * It’s not working for me either. I’ve tried deactivating easy fancybox and clearing the cache but I can’t see the carousel. * Does the shortcode have to be anything in particular? Most of mine are [gallery columns="4"]. * [alvaradopau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alvaradopau/) * (@alvaradopau) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945200) * Actually, it’s working now! Problem was a plugin called “Easing slider”, when deactivated it let me see the carousel, love it! * cheers * Thread Starter [Jojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rework/) * (@rework) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945202) * Ah okay. I use a plugin I bought called Sugar Slider that allows me to have an image slider on the home page but I need to use this so am unable to deactivate this to see if that’s my problem 🙁 However, when I was testing I did deactivate all plugins at that time and it still didn’t seem to be working. I will try again on a development version.

It does not come into operation at all on IE9 or Google Chrome.Take a look at my site [http://www.aberdeengardening.co.uk](http://www.aberdeengardening.co.uk) If you ever get it sorted out please contact me and I will do likewise.

You need to use WordPress’s [gallery] shortcode: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode) * Thread Starter [Jojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rework/) * (@rework) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945218) * I did do that and it still didn’t work. * However, since then I have successfully got Carousel working on other WordPress sites I’m working on so assume it’s a conflict with a plugin on the problem site maybe? * Thanks * Jo * Plugin Contributor [Tim Moore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmoorewp/) * (@tmoorewp) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-cant-get-carousel-working/#post-2945219) * It could be a plugin conflict. I’d recommend going one by one and deactivating them until things work. Let me know what you find.
