Help! I may have created a bug when merging two diffrent codes for a custom carousel

Making my first site but this bug has me stuck, and it may be one that I have created… There is features that I like from two different carousel add-ons. I was able to take elements that I like from both and merge them into one, and place it on my theme, (Minimal). So the custom code works great for desktop, but images get squash in mobile.. I don’t mean a column image stack, the custom carousel still functions with all the features on mobile, but the images just get squashed into an accordion. I haven’t been able to fix the problem for several days. All custom code in the site is well documented, could some one take a look and explain to me what is going on? I willing to pay if it takes a bit of rewriting to make it work.

Hi @Hanzoscat what you’ve described is an advanced customization and error prone process that could require alot of debugging not a casual thing for a forum solution.

You’d at minimum need to try and at least identify the core technical problem or code conflict that results in “images just get squashed into an accordion” , along with a presentable publicly accessible example of the of the minimum issue.

More than likely you do need to hire someone and it wont be quick because of what you’ve done.

Or DIY from scratch by making a list of features you need in a carousel and then go and to the research to find a library that provides those features and build it from scratch. This way your not dealing with the complications that come from having to debug kit bashing code together from two different systems|libraries|architectures|techniques.

High level business recommendation , don’t waste time money and energy on such features. Ditch the slideshow unless you have the market research that proves the numbers will work for your specific context the only thing carousels are good for are wasting your time in setup and thought, dragging down site performance, annoying customers and crowding valuable visual real estate on the homepage.
