Revolution Slider Issues

Revolution Slider Not Working in the Front End

If you've added a slider to the page or used one of the X and Pro theme methods to add a created slide by Revolution Slider to the page and you do not see the slide, it might be caused by several reasons which we will discuss:

• Plugin Conflict: There might be a conflict with a third party plugin and the Revolution Slider, to test the case you can disable all the plugins except the Revolution Slider in the Pro and all plugins except the Revolution Slider and the Cornerstone plugin in the X theme and see if it is working. If yes, then activate the plugins one by one and test to see which one is responsible for the conflict.
• JavaScript Error: If there is a JavaScript error, it might cause to stop the slider to render as the Revolution Slider is heavily dependent on the JavaScript. To test the case, go to X/Pro > Theme Options > JS and remove any custom JavaScript code that you have there and also switch the Child Theme to the parent theme and see if it fixes the problem.
• jQuery Library Conflict: There are cases that third-party plugins use the jQuery library loading outside the conventional methods that are recommended in the WordPress and that causes to load two different versions of the library when using the Revolution Slider and it causes the issue. You can avoid that following the steps below:
• Go to WordPress Dashboard > Revolution Slider.
• Select the slider that you want and click on the settings icon of it.
• Go to Problem Handling > Troubleshooting in the settings.
• Enable the jQuery No Conflict Mode option.
• Enable Put JS Include to Body option.
