Why does the enqueued owl carousel work with the NewsMag Pro theme version, and not with the default WordPress Installation?

Question

I am trying to write and submit a new WordPress plugin, and I have the goals of needing the plugin to show a "snippet" of our main site newyorkbusinessreview.com including our books selection and also some of our published journal articles which are featured in carousel sliders. I checked the HTML code using Firefox and Shift-Control-C in the originalnewyorkbusinessreview.com site, and the carousel sliders are based on the owl carousel, but probably not the latest version. (See owlcarousel2.github.io/OwlCarousel2/demos/demos.html for the demonstration page for the owlcarousel2 latest documentation for the latest version of the Owl Carousel Slider.)

Consulting with the Site Editor, it is very important that our plugin "fits very nicely" wherever it is posted. However, the same HTML code renders one way on one page and another way on the next, with the theme page working of course fine and a fresh install of WordPress 4.7.5 (just downloaded from the WordPress site) does not. I only added in one plugin on the fresh WordPress 4.7.5 (being the amr-shortcode-any-widget, a very nice plugin that allows widgets to be directly placed on a page) to test it.

I was advised by WordPress plugin review to use wp_enqueue_style and so forth to enqueue everything properly. I found the part of the main theme that did this (it was in one file, enqueue.php) and I updated it as posted below.

Because there is a lot of code here already, and those skilled in WordPress can access the relevant files knowing the main web url, for "brevity" I have not put here additional code. But if requested, of course I can of course update it. Also within Firefox Shift-Control-C can be used to view specific elements at each web-site code directly.

So why does it work with the NewsMag Pro theme version, and not with the default WordPress Installation?

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The reasons it was not working were: 1) The enqueue.php file did not properly load the content - plugin_dir_path( FILE ) was not correct. 2) There was a conflict with the style sheets of the main theme and the style sheets of other themes. Hence the CSS files needed to be updated. 3) A custom token needed to be put at the beginning: CEU_newsmag-bootstrap for example. That was in the existing code, but it was an earlier reason why the plugin did not work as intended.

The plugin in the default Twenty-Seventeen Theme (with the additional WordPress plugin " amr shortcode any widget " used to place the widget on the page) can be seen at http://support.issues.owl.newyorkbusinessreview.com/ninja/test/

The corrected version of enqueue.php is below (with all the enqueue fixes):

The CSS files that needed modification (according to the developer we hired at Code Ninjas) were:

Files with changes: – assets/sass/elements/lists.scss – assets/sass/site/secondary/_widget-recent-posts.scss – assets/css/style.css
