Owl Carousel css set to display:none when page has loaded

Question

I'm having an issue with my Owl Carousel on my page. Currently, the carousel container and items don't display. Iused my web inspector to check the element and it appears that it has the line display:none in the css. However, when I change this to display:block, the items show one under the other, rather than in a line horizontally.

My script for the carousel is as follows:

jQuery(function($){
    $('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
        loop:true,
        margin:10,
        nav:true,
        dots:true,
        autoplay:true,
        autoplayHoverPause:true,
        items:4,
        responsive:{
          0:{
            items:1
          },
            480:{
        items:2
          },
            768 :{
        items:4  
          }
        }
    })
});

My HTML markup is as follows:

<div class="row owl-carousel container">
    <div id="layers-widget-carousel-5-931" class="item layers-widget-carousel-931">
    ...
    </div>
    <div id="layers-widget-carousel-5-715" class="item layers-widget-carousel-715">
    ...
    </div>
    <div id="layers-widget-carousel-5-95" class="item layers-widget-carousel-95">
    ...
    </div>

I have the scripts owl.carousel.min.js, owl.carousel.css and owl.theme.default.css loaded in the head (didn't work when loaded in the footer either).

Is there any obvious reason why this might not be working?

Answer 1

With version 1.3.3 I had the same problem. I didn't see the carousel, because items had "display:none" in CSS. When I changed "display:none" into "display:block" I could see the items, but as a column.

I discovered, that the link to owl.carousel.js was in a wrong place, in the header. I moved it to the footer, and it solved the problem.
