The person is facing an issue with setting up the Glider.js carousel on their Webflow site. Here are the possible issues they may be encountering and their solutions:

  1. Carousel not showing up on the page:
  • Check if the custom code for Glider.js is properly added to the page. Navigate to the page settings and ensure that the code is either in the page's head or body tag.
  • Make sure that you have included the correct CSS and JavaScript files for Glider.js on your page. Double-check the file paths and ensure they are accessible.
  • Check if any conflicting custom code or scripts are interfering with the functionality of Glider.js. Temporarily remove any other custom code or scripts on the page to see if that resolves the issue.
  1. Carousel not working properly:
  • Verify if you have correctly initialized the Glider.js carousel using the appropriate JavaScript code. Make sure you have defined the necessary configuration options such as slidesToShow, slidesToScroll, and duration.
  • Ensure that the HTML structure of the carousel elements is correct. Make sure the wrapper element has the glider class, and each slide is wrapped in a <li> tag within a <ul> tag with the class glider-track.
  • Check if there are any CSS conflicts that might be affecting the functionality of the carousel. Inspect the carousel elements using the browser's developer tools and inspect the applied styles. Adjust the CSS accordingly to resolve any conflicts.
  1. Responsive issues with the carousel:
  • Verify if you have set the breakpoints correctly within the Glider.js configuration options. Define different values for slidesToShow and slidesToScroll based on different viewport sizes to ensure a responsive carousel.
  • Check the CSS styles applied to the carousel elements at different breakpoints. Make sure that the width and height of the carousel, as well as the slides, are appropriately adjusted and scaled for different screen sizes.
  • Test the carousel on various devices and screen sizes to identify any specific responsive issues. Use the browser's developer tools to simulate different viewports and make necessary adjustments to the CSS or configuration options to optimize the responsiveness of the carousel.

Hopefully, these troubleshooting steps will help you resolve the issue with setting up the Glider.js carousel on your Webflow site. Remember to test the carousel thoroughly on different devices and screen sizes to ensure a smooth and responsive user experience.
