 * I’m getting the infamous “This slideshow requires JavaScript” error when creating
   a gallery within a post.
    -  -jQuery is being loaded.
       -wp_head() is in header.php -wp_footer() is in 
      footer.php -I’m not getting any errors in my console. -Carousel is “activated”
 * Here is a link to a page where you can see an example: [http://blogs.columbian.com/vancouveater/test-post/](http://blogs.columbian.com/vancouveater/test-post/)
 * Thank you

 * I can’t seem to access your site at the moment. Could you let me know as soon
   as your site is back up?
 * Thanks!

 * The site is up and should be working just fine. What kind of error are you getting?

 * I just get a timeout error, in my browser or in the terminal:
 *     ```
       $ curl -I http://blogs.columbian.com/vancouveater/test-post/
       curl: (7) Failed to connect to blogs.columbian.com port 80: Operation timed out

 * What country/ip are you viewing from? I wonder if our network admin has blocked
   out of country/IP’s from accessing.

 * That’s most likely. I can’t view your site from Hungary, but my colleagues could
   access it from the US.
 * The 2 Javascript files used to render the slideshow appear to be missing from
   your site.
 * Could you try to deactivate all other plugins, one at a time, until the slideshow
   starts working, so we can find out what plugin causes the files not to be enqueued
   on your site?
 * Thanks!

 * Which 2 files are you expecting to see?

 * `jquery.cycle.js` and `slideshow-shortcode.js`, both in the `wp-content/plugins/
   jetpack/modules/shortcodes/js` directory. They’re there on your site, they’re
   just not enqueued, while the slideshow’s CSS file is enqueued, which leads me
   to think that another plugin stops them from being enqueued.
 * Let me know how it goes!

 * I deactivated all plugins and it didn’t do anything.

 * Could you try to switch to one of the default themes for a few minutes, and see
   if the files get enqueued?
