I’ve seen this before. Normally this happens when there is a JavaScript error on your site, and the Slide Anything ‘Owl Carousel’ is not being initialised.
Check for JavaScript errors by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+J keys together to view your browser console.
These types of JavaScript errors can occur if you are running 2 slider/carousel products on your page, both built-on Owl Carousel 2.

I don’t see any specific errors relating to Owl Carousel and I don’t have any other sliders on the site. I had tried others and then deactivated and deleted them. I have double checked that they have been deleted in my plugins folder via file manager as well.
Still no luck getting this slider to work. Anything else I can do?

I just tried testing this on another fresh site of mine (never had other plugins/sliders on it) and have had the same problem. (Again, with Thesis theme).
Try testing with another theme then. The default Twenty Seventeen theme.
Maybe there is is a clash with the theme you are using.

Yup, worked with Twenty Seventenn which means the plugin is incompatible with Thesis sadly. That’s really unfortunate.
I had a similar problem. There was no error in the Javascript console. I was using a theme that didn’t enqueue jquery, so jquery wasn’t getting enqueued until the slide_anything_shortcode function, and by that time the page’s head had already been done, so the script was included at the bottom of the page.
In slide-anything-frontend, “if (wp_script_is(‘jquery’, ‘done’))” was returning false because jquery hadn’t yet been included in the page. This resulted in the slider not getting initialised.
I fixed it by adding “wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);” in my theme’s functions.php, near where it enqueues other scripts.
Thanks for the feedback David.
I have just released version 2.0.11 of Slide Anything which addresses this issue.
Slide Anything will now Enqueue JQuery if it has not already been loaded, prior to generating the Slide Anything JavaScript/jQuery code.
