Bootstrap 5 carousel not working as expected

Question

I'm trying to embed this carousel in my Bootstrap 5 page. It comes from Codepen - https://codepen.io/sahil-verma/pen/wxXryx

So far, I've copied the code in my webpage, and embedded the corresponding CSS in style tags something like this

<div class="container">
      <style media="screen">
      #quote-carousel {
  padding: 0 10px 30px 10px;
  margin-top: 60px;
}
#quote-carousel .carousel-control {
  background: none;
  color: #CACACA;
  font-size: 2.3em;
  text-shadow: none;
  margin-top: 30px;
}
#quote-carousel .carousel-indicators {
  position: relative;
  right: 50%;
  top: auto;
  bottom: 0px;
  margin-top: 20px;
  margin-right: -19px;
}
#quote-carousel .carousel-indicators li {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  cursor: pointer;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
  border-radius: 50%;
  opacity: 0.4;
  overflow: hidden;
  transition: all .4s ease-in;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
#quote-carousel .carousel-indicators .active {
  width: 128px;
  height: 128px;
  opacity: 1;
  transition: all .2s;
}
.item blockquote {
  border-left: none;
  margin: 0;
}
.item blockquote p:before {
  content: "\f10d";
  font-family: 'Fontawesome';
  float: left;
  margin-right: 10px;
}
      </style>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-12">

    </div>

What I'm getting is this

I can't figure out for the love of God what is going wrong here. The carousel just won't work. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong here. There's another carousel on the page which works just fine. I've also tried this same code in a Bootstrap 4 setting with no carousels but I get the same result.

Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong here?

Answer 1

First of all you are using the wrong .item class. This should be like below:

<div class="carousel-item">
  <blockquote>
    ...
  </blockquote>
</div>

That will fix the display.

Next, you have missed the data attribute prefix in several places (used in BS5) go through your code and add bs- where needed ( data-bs-ride , data-bs-target , data-bs-slide , etc.) and the carousel will work as expected.
