 * I have installed the plugin as demonstrated, however the plugin itself won’t 
   initialise.
 * I am using a custom theme so I think the shortcode I am using is incorrect however
   I don’t know which one to use :S.
 * Using the shortcode in the example inserts the images onto the page but it seems
   as though the jquery plugin is not initialising.
 * I have noticed that the css is not being targeted from the plugins/owl-carousel/
   css directory so this could be why the jQuery is not being initialised?
 * Also, am I able to insert videos as an image/slide, or should it be a link to
   a video within, lets say, a lightbox?

 * Hello,
 * Yes, the CSS file should be loaded.
 * Do you have this line in your footer.php file?
    `<?php wp_footer(); ?>`
 * Could you send to me the template you are using?
 * At the moment, it’s not possible to insert video in Owl Carousel slides. However,
   this feature will be available in the new next version of Owl Carousel:
    [http://www.owlcarousel.owlgraphic.com/demos/video.html](http://www.owlcarousel.owlgraphic.com/demos/video.html)
 * The plugin is still at the beta state at the moment and the WordPress plugin 
   will be updated as soon as the final version will be released.

 * Hi Pierre,
 * Sorry for not updating this ticket, I worked it out in the end.
 * I am developing the site locally but pulling the database from a remote environment,
   so I had to upload and install the plugin on the ‘live’ site in order to see 
   the changes etc.
 * Thanks for the quick response however. I will be sure to rate the plugin 5 stars!
 * Look forward to the next bunch of features in the future release!
