Slick Carousel Uncaught TypeError: $(…).slick is not a function

Question

Somehow I\'m unable to use slick carousel (http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/) correctly.

I\'m getting the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: $(..         


        

Answer 1

Recently had the same problem: TypeError: $(...).slick is not a function

Found an interesting solution. Hope, it might be useful to somebody.

In my particular situation there are: jQuery + WHMCS + slick. It works normal standalone, without WHMCS. But after the integration to WHMCS an error appears.

The solution was to use jQuery in noConflict mode.

Ex: Your code:

$(document).ready(function() { 
  $('a').click( function(event) {
    $(this).hide();
    event.preventDefault();
  });
});

Code in noConflict mode:

var $jq = jQuery.noConflict();
$jq(document).ready(function() { 
  $jq('a').click( function(event) {
    $jq(this).hide();
    event.preventDefault();
  });
});

Answer 2

Thought this would be helpful for others with the same issue, as I've seen a few on here - I ran into this, but found I loaded slick.js AFTER my main.js (which was calling the slick() function). swapped the two and it works great

Answer 3

In my instance the solution was moving the jQuery include just before the </head> tag. With the Slick include at the bottom before the </body> and just before my script include that initiates the slider.
