 * Hi there –
 * Really like this plugin, very handy.. does everything I want.. except, it doesn’t
   autoplay for some reason.
 * It will start revolving once one of the nav arrows is clicked, but it doesn’t
   start by itself.
 * Is there a flag I’m missing or something I can do to goose it? I tried autoplay
   =”true” to no avail.
 * Thanks very much.

 * Hi there,
 * Do you have any javascript errors on your page? You can check this using the 
   code inspector (right click > inspect element > console tab) in chrome or using
   firebug in firefox.
 * The carousel should be fired off with a chunk of javascript added to the page:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript">
       	jQuery(function(){
       		jQuery('.carousel').carousel()
       	});
       </script>
       ```
   
 * If you have any other broken javascript in your site it could prevent this from
   working properly. It’s also worth checking that the above code is present – it’s
   called in `wp_footer`, so your theme needs to have the [`wp_footer();`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_footer)
   function at the bottom of every page.
 * Let me know if any of that helps..
 * Phil

 * Ah, I think that got it – I was indeed missing the footer code. I’m a dummy. 
   Thanks!
