 * The support available for a free plugin seems amazing(!) so I figured I’d try
   my luck:
 * I’ve been playing with this plugin all afternoon, but I cannot get _rotation\
   _type=”carousel”_ to work. I’m using shortcode in my php, here is the simplest
   but still not-working version:
 * `echo do_shortcode('[rotatingtweets screen_name="TheWanderingBen" rotation_type
   ="carousel"]');`
 * Searching through previous solutions, I’ve tried turning on WP_DEBUG, but I still
   don’t see anything obviously wrong in my Javascript console or in the page source.
   It just seems like the plugin defaults to _rotate\_fx = scrollUp_:
 *     ```
       JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.0
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:43 ============================
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:44 self_width = 720
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:45 parent_width = 750
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:46 grandparent_width = 800
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:47 rt_target_container_width = 720
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:48 rt_target_width = 720
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:49 rotate_timeout = 4000
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:50 rotate_speed = 1000
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:51 rotate_fx = scrollUp
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:52 rotate_pager = undefined
       rotating_tweet.js?ver=1.8.4:53 rotate_pager_template = undefined
       ```
   
 * My development environment is [developer.thewanderingben.com](http://developer.thewanderingben.com)
 * I’m just an amateur at web coding — never debugged JS or php, so I’m in a bit
   over my head. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 * Thank you,
    Ben

 * It does. Unfortunately, only version 2 of the JavaScript supports the carousel
   format.
 * What happens if you move to version 2 of the JavaScript on the Rotating Tweets
   settings page?

 * Oh wow, I had seen the condition “If you are using version 2 of the JavaScript…”
   in the plugin Installation instructions, but I had assumed it meant the version
   of JavaScript my server was running — since everything was up to date, I thought
   I was fine.
 * I had no idea there was a setting for the plugin itself where you could toggle
   the JavaScript versions. I’m a complete dolt! Thank you for the quick response.
   Yes, everything works as intended now!
