Title: Slider widget not working Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Slider widget not working * Resolved [asaracena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asaracena/) * (@asaracena) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/) * Just updated to your latest version and now the slider is not working at all. Was working just fine before the update. * Was using shortcode: [testimonials_slider] Tried to force an interval using:[ testimonialswidget_widget refresh_interval=5] * Neither work – I just see one testimonial (there are 16). This is the page: [http://100friends.org/appreciation/](http://100friends.org/appreciation/) * Can you help? * (Virtue theme) * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonials-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/testimonials-widget/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 25 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [saurabhd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saurabhd/) * (@saurabhd) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078219) * Please delete your browser cache and reset options. Please see FAQ link:- [https:// nodedesk.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202243702-My-options-don-t-work-no-matter- what-I-do-] * Then again use the Testimonial slider shortcode to display it on your page. [ testimonials_slider] * Let me know please if it works for you? * Thread Starter [asaracena](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asaracena/) * (@asaracena) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078225) * Now I’m using [testimonials_slider] as a shortcode on the page: [http://100friends.org/appreciation/](http://100friends.org/appreciation/) * I’ve reset to the defaults and cleared the cache. I’ve tried this in Chrome, Safari and Firefox – doesn’t work in any of them. In fact the start and pause buttons are also gone. So no, it’s still not working. * Now I’m afraid to update this in the other website where I’m using your plugin( [http://shuktara.org/donate/](http://shuktara.org/donate/)). I understand it’s a free version but honestly everything was working just fine before the update as you can see in the other website. * Any chance I could download the previous version? * [swatson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swatson/) * (@swatson) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078238) * Same problem here, after updating to 3.1.0, testimonial slider no longer cycles through testimonials. I am using the testimonial slider widget. * I tried the “reset to defaults” on RESET tab and on existing slider widget, cleared browser cache, and even added a new text widget with shortcode [testimonials_slider] * Still no cycling on testimonial slider widget or the text widget w/shortcode. * Tried deactivating W3 Total Cache, but it didn’t change the results. * [Fuzzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fuzzi/) * (@fuzzi) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078241) * Exactly the same issue here. [http://practicalworkplacestrategies.com.au](http://practicalworkplacestrategies.com.au) To start with I would only get the one testimonial – no scrolling. I followed the suggestions and now I get the title and nothing else. I’m using the widget to display the testimonials. Any further suggestions? * [dailypriceaction](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dailypriceaction/) * (@dailypriceaction) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078248) * Same issue here. Just updated to the new version this morning and lost the widget functionality. It displays the text of the first testimonial but doesn’t show the image nor does it transition to the other testimonials. * [jaco44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaco44/) * (@jaco44) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078253) * Ditto… Slider is frozen on one testimonial, no arrow/pause buttons below. Tried clearing cache, resetting plugin, etc… * Please roll-back to previous version asap until this bug is fixed. Thank you. * [Glenn Mulleners](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glennm/) * (@glennm) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078295) * Slider widget also not working here. It only shows one testimonial. * [barnez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pidengmor/) * (@pidengmor) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078307) * Yep. Same here I’m afraid. * [viensia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viensia/) * (@viensia) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078322) * Is there a link to the 3.04 version? I am having the same problem and would like to “undo” the update or reinstall the older version. * [barnez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pidengmor/) * (@pidengmor) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078329) * You’ll find links to all the previous versions of plugins under the developers tab: * [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/testimonials-widget.3.0.4.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/testimonials-widget.3.0.4.zip) * [wwwolf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wwwolf/) * (@wwwolf) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078336) * Funny, I had a hunch about this update and zipped the old one before updating 🙂 Seriously though, pls fix soon – love this plugin, and it makes me nervous having things screaming ‘update me’ on half my sites, esp when the changelog cites ‘4.2 compatibility…! * [jaco44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaco44/) * (@jaco44) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078343) * @barnez- Thank you so much for pointing out where to download 3.0.4. * Do you (or anyone) happen to know if I should simply overwrite 3.1.0 (after disabling the plugin) or is it better to uninstall 3.1.0 first, then add the 3.0.4 folders/ files to my plugins folder? Thanks again. * [barnez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pidengmor/) * (@pidengmor) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078344) * [@jaco44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaco44/) * No problem. I usually delete the **testimonails-widget** version in the `/plugins/` directory through the cPanel or FTP, and then upload the other version into the plugins directory. All the settings are saved in the database. * [jaco44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaco44/) * (@jaco44) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078346) * @barnez- Nevermind, figured it out but trying it first on my local site. Uninstalled 3.1.0, then added 3.0.4 to my plugins folder. Working fine now. Lesson learned on blindly taking plugin updates without either testing on local site first or checking the plugin support forum (where I would have seen this thread & held off on the update). Thx again. * [TIV.NET INC.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tivnetinc/) * (@tivnetinc) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-widget-not-working/#post-6078349) * [@saurabhd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saurabhd/) * The code says: * ``` wp_register_script( 'jquery.bxslider', self::$library_assets . 'bxslider-4/dist/jquery.bxslider.min.js', array( 'jquery' ), '4.1.2', true ); ``` * However, the scripts are not in the ‘dist’ folder. So, not loaded.
