loop true duplicate slider

The issue of **duplicate slides** in Owl Carousel when `loop: true` is enabled occurs because Owl Carousel clones slides to create a seamless looping effect. However, sometimes it may not work correctly, especially if there are fewer slides than the required `items` count.

### **Possible Fixes:**

#### **1. Ensure Enough Slides**
If you have fewer slides than the required number of visible items (`items: 3.5`), Owl Carousel may create excessive duplicates. Try reducing the `items` count or adding more slides.

#### **2. Use `rewind: true` Instead of `loop: true`**
If you don't want Owl Carousel to create duplicate slides but still need an infinite effect, try using `rewind: true` instead of `loop: true`:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    var owl2 = jQuery(".owl-carousel-custom");
    owl2.owlCarousel({
        items: 3.5,
        margin: 16,
        autoplay: true,
        autoplayTimeout: 3000,
        autoplayHoverPause: true,
        rewind: true, // Use rewind instead of loop
        nav: false,
        dots: false,
        responsive: {
            0: {
                items: 1.1,
                margin: 8
            },
            768: {
                items: 1.1,
                margin: 8
            },
            1024: {
                items: 3.5
            }
        }
    });
});

#### **3. Set `smartSpeed` for Smooth Transitions**
If the looped slides are not smooth, try adding `smartSpeed`:

smartSpeed: 800

#### **4. Check for Duplicate Markup**
Inspect your `.owl-carousel-custom` container in **Developer Tools (F12)** and check if there are duplicate “ elements. If so, ensure that your template isn't inserting duplicates.

but its create right side gap

Assistant

The **right-side gap** issue in Owl Carousel with `loop: true` often occurs due to improper width calculations. Here’s how you can fix it:

—

### **✅ Fix 1: Ensure Proper `items` Count and `stagePadding`**
Try adding `stagePadding: 0` to prevent gaps:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    var owl2 = jQuery(".owl-carousel-custom");
    owl2.owlCarousel({
        items: 3.5,
        margin: 16,
        autoplay: true,
        autoplayTimeout: 3000,
        autoplayHoverPause: true,
        loop: true,
        nav: false,
        dots: false,
        stagePadding: 0, // Prevents unwanted gaps
        responsive: {
            0: {
                items: 1.1,
                margin: 8
            },
            768: {
                items: 1.1,
                margin: 8
            },
            1024: {
                items: 3.5
            }
        }
    });
});

—

### **✅ Fix 2: Set `autoWidth: true`**
If the slides don’t align properly, setting `autoWidth: true` might help:

autoWidth: true

But make sure all images inside slides have **explicit width set in CSS**:

.owl-carousel-custom .item img {
    width: 100%;
}

—

### **✅ Fix 3: Add This CSS Rule**
If there's still a gap, try forcing the `.owl-stage` width:

.owl-carousel-custom .owl-stage {
    display: flex !important;
    width: auto !important;
}

—

### **✅ Fix 4: Check for Extra Padding/Margins**
Inspect your `.owl-carousel-custom` container in **Developer Tools (F12)** and ensure no extra `margin` or `padding` is causing the gap.

If you see extra spacing, try:

.owl-carousel-custom {
    overflow: hidden;
}

**Try these fixes and let me know if you still see the gap! 🚀**
