Preventing twitter bootstrap carousel from auto sliding on page load

Question

So is there anyway to prevent twitter bootstrap carousel from auto sliding on the page load unless the next or previous button is clicked?

Thanks

Answer 1

if you're using bootstrap 3 set data-interval="false" on the HTML structure of carousel

example:

<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" data-interval="false">

Answer 2

For Bootstrap 4 simply remove the 'data-ride="carousel"' from the carousel div. This removes auto play at load time.

To enable the auto play again you would still have to use the "play" call in javascript.

Answer 3

I think maybe you should go to check the official instruction about carousel, for me, i have not found answer above, because of multiple versions of bootstrap, I'm using b4-alpha and i want the autoplay effect stop.

$(document).ready({
    pause:true,
    interval:false
});

this script does not make any effect while mouse leave that page, exactly carousel area. go to official definition and find those :

So you will find why.if carousel page onmouseover event triggered, page will pause, while mouse out of that page, it'll resume again.

So, if you want a page stop forever and rotate manually, you can just set data-interval='false'.

Answer 4

add this to your coursel div :

data-interval="false"
