Take a look at [http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/](http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/). * Also, are you including your own jQuery, or using the one that comes bundled with WordPress? * Once you checked those two things, if the carousel still doesn’t work, I’d suggest to go back to one of the default themes (Twenty Fourteen, Twenty Thirteen, etc.) and deactivating all the plugins with the exception of this one and whatever you use to include Bootstrap. Then the carousel should work, and you can reactivate your plugins and theme one by one until finding out what causes the issue. * Hope this helps 🙂 * Thread Starter [rompelstilchen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rompelstilchen/) * (@rompelstilchen) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-does-not-auto-start/#post-4841829) * ok, * thanks * “I think you need to make sure your Bootstrap package includes the carousel library.

The link I posted says: * > Both `bootstrap.js` and `bootstrap.min.js` contain all plugins in a single > file. Include only one. * So you’re probably OK about the carousel inclusion if you’re using one of those files. * But you should not include your own version of jQuery, even if it’s from the official jQuery site. The one that comes bundled with WordPress should work, because is the one that have been tested with your WordPress version. Remove your own version and check your printed HTML code to see if jQuery is loading in the head of the document. If it’s not, apparently something is wrong with your theme or installation. * Also, how are you including Bootstrap? Is it with a shortcode, enqueueing the files, or manually pasting the code into your HTML? Please make sure your Bootstrap file is actually being loaded, * I think I didn’t quite understand what you said about modifying `header.php`, but in any case you should not do that. Styles and scripts should be loaded by using the `wp_enqueue_style()` and `wp_enqueue_script()` functions. That’s meant for not having to edit HTML and plugins files if you need extra scripts or styles. * One more thing: Have you tried disabling all the other plugins and going to one of the default themes? * Thread Starter [rompelstilchen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rompelstilchen/) * (@rompelstilchen) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-does-not-auto-start/#post-4841850) * ok i’ll check all these * i use [gallery type="carousel" ...] in my page text * thx for the help 🙂 * Thread Starter [rompelstilchen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rompelstilchen/) * (@rompelstilchen) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-does-not-auto-start/#post-4841932) * I added this to function.php but I still get the same js error, and the carousel stil does not autostart * i also notice the carousel stops working , then it starts again after a long period of time for no reason * can you have a look ?

I suppose the first one is added from your theme or from a plugin, so you need to remove that one first. Also, I’d suggest to load the Bootstrap JS in the footer of HTML document. Take a look at the Codex entry about [wp_enqueue_script()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) if you need to know how to do that. * Thread Starter [rompelstilchen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rompelstilchen/) * (@rompelstilchen) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-does-not-auto-start/#post-4841939) * how do you see there is 2 instances loaded ? * Plugin Author [Andrés Villarreal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrezrv/) * (@andrezrv) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-does-not-auto-start/#post-4841942) * Just by looking at your source code.

I use it in my sites that way and I’ve never had any issue. * You can remove scripts loaded by other plugins using [wp_deregister_script()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_deregister_script). * [merchantweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/merchantweb/) * (@merchantweb) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-does-not-auto-start/#post-4841975) * I am having the same issue with autostart not working until clicking once.

By only looking at your source code, I can’t identify the problem, but there’s some jQuery plugins being loaded that could be interfering with Bootstrap. * Regarding your other issue, I’ll take a look at the other thread you started.
