If you are experiencing issues with the Owl Carousel slide increments not working correctly on your new site in Webflow, here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

  1. Check for conflicting scripts: Make sure that you don't have any other jQuery scripts or libraries that might be conflicting with the Owl Carousel. Conflicting scripts can cause unexpected behavior and prevent the slide increments from working properly. Remove any conflicting scripts or try disabling them to see if it resolves the issue.

  2. Update the Owl Carousel plugin: Ensure that you have the latest version of the Owl Carousel plugin installed on your Webflow site. Outdated versions of the plugin may have bugs or compatibility issues that can cause problems with slide increments. Visit the official Owl Carousel website or the Webflow forum to download the latest version and replace the existing one on your site.

  3. Check Owl Carousel settings: Double-check the settings of the Owl Carousel component in Webflow. Make sure that the "Items" setting is configured correctly and matches the number of items you have in your carousel. If this setting is incorrect, it can cause the slide increments to behave unexpectedly.

  4. Verify HTML structure: Inspect the HTML structure of your carousel to ensure that it is set up correctly. Each slide should be wrapped in a parent container and have the appropriate class names and attributes assigned to them. If the HTML structure is not properly set up, it can cause the slide increments to malfunction.

  5. Clear cache and refresh: Sometimes, browser cache or a caching plugin can cause issues with the carousel. Clear your browser cache and refresh the page to see if it resolves the issue. If you are using a caching plugin on your site, clear its cache as well.

  6. Check for custom code conflicts: If you have added any custom code to your Webflow site, especially JavaScript code that interacts with the carousel or affects its behavior, review it for any potential conflicts. Incorrectly implemented or conflicting custom code can cause issues with the slide increments.

  7. Contact Webflow support or seek help from the community: If you have tried all the above steps and are still facing issues with the Owl Carousel slide increments, it might be helpful to reach out to Webflow support or ask for assistance in the Webflow community forums. They can provide further guidance or help you troubleshoot the issue.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue with the Owl Carousel slide increments not working correctly on your Webflow site.
