If the 4th item is partially visible on desktop, it could be due to incorrect CSS styles, such as the width of the carousel container, or padding/margin issues. Here's how to fix it:

### **1. Check CSS for the Carousel Container**
Ensure that the carousel container (`#owl-carousel-grid`) and its parent container have proper dimensions and no unnecessary padding or overflow.

#owl-carousel-grid {
    width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden; /* Ensures no extra items are visible */
}

#owl-carousel-grid .owl-stage {
    display: flex;
    align-items: stretch; /* Ensure proper alignment */
}

#owl-carousel-grid .owl-item {
    margin-right: 0; /* Avoid additional spacing */
}

### **2. Adjust `margin` in JavaScript**
If the `margin` setting in OwlCarousel (`margin: 30`) is too large, it can cause the next item to peek through. Reduce the `margin` value slightly.

$("#owl-carousel-grid").owlCarousel({
    loop: false,
    margin: 20, // Adjust margin to fit better
    responsive: {
        0: {
            items: 1
        },
        768: {
            items: 2
        },
        1024: {
            items: 3
        }
    },
    autoplay: false,
    autoplayTimeout: 3000,
    autoplayHoverPause: true,
    nav: true,
    dots: true
});

### **3. Verify Parent Container Overflow**
Ensure the parent container does not allow overflow.

.parent-container {
    overflow: hidden; /* Prevent the carousel from displaying extra items */
}

### **4. Inspect Browser Width**
Sometimes, the issue occurs when the browser width is not a perfect match with your `responsive` settings. Add a media query to handle specific breakpoints and ensure proper alignment.

@media (min-width: 1024px) {
    #owl-carousel-grid .owl-stage {
        justify-content: space-between; /* Prevent overlapping margins */
    }
}

### **5. Debug the Issue**
Inspect the OwlCarousel DOM using browser developer tools to check:

– If `.owl-stage` or `.owl-item` elements have widths that extend beyond the viewport.
– Ensure the width of each item is calculated properly.

### **6. Use `center` or `stagePadding` (Optional)**
If you'd like more padding control and want the active items to be centered:

stagePadding: 0, // Adjust stage padding
center: false, // Center items (set true only if needed)

With these changes, the 4th item should no longer be visible. Let me know if you need further help!

Your PHP and HTML code for the carousel setup is straightforward, and the issue with the 4th item being partially visible is likely related to CSS or JavaScript settings for OwlCarousel. Here's how to refine your code and fix the issue.

### **Updated Code Suggestions**

#### **1. Ensure Proper CSS for the Carousel**

Add the following CSS to control the layout and spacing of carousel items:

.custom-carousel-grid {
    width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden; /* Prevent extra items from showing */
}

.custom-carousel-grid .carousel-item {
    box-sizing: border-box;
    padding: 10px; /* Adjust padding if needed */
    margin: 0;
}

#owl-carousel-grid .owl-stage {
    display: flex;
}

#owl-carousel-grid .owl-item {
    width: 100%; /* Ensure proper item sizing */
    margin-right: 0; /* Remove extra margin */
}

#### **2. Updated JavaScript Initialization**

Make sure the OwlCarousel script includes proper margin and responsive settings to avoid overlap:

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $("#owl-carousel-grid").owlCarousel({
        loop: false,
        margin: 20, // Adjust margin for better spacing
        responsive: {
            0: {
                items: 1 // Mobile
            },
            768: {
                items: 2 // Tablet
            },
            1024: {
                items: 3 // Desktop
            }
        },
        autoplay: false,
        autoplayTimeout: 3000,
        autoplayHoverPause: true,
        nav: true,
        dots: true
    });
});

#### **3. Ensure Container Width**

Ensure the parent container (`.custom-carousel-grid`) has the correct width to avoid layout issues. Add this CSS if necessary:

.custom-carousel-grid {
    max-width: 1200px; /* Adjust to your design */
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0 15px;
}

#### **4. Debugging Tips**

1. **Inspect Carousel Items:**
– Use browser developer tools to inspect `.carousel-item`, `.owl-item`, and `.owl-stage`. Check their `width` and `margin` values to confirm they're being calculated correctly.

2. **Responsive Testing:**
– Resize your browser to test breakpoints (e.g., 1024px for desktop). Ensure the settings match your design expectations.

3. **Clear Caching:**
– If using a caching plugin, clear the cache after updating the CSS or JS.

#### **5. Optional – Add Custom Classes Dynamically**

If `$css_class` adds meaningful styles, ensure that it's well-defined. If not, you can simplify by using consistent class names.

#### **6. Example Output**

Here’s how the carousel would render in the browser:

<div class="custom-carousel-grid">
    <h3 class="carousel-main-title">Sample Carousel</h3>
    <div id="owl-carousel-grid" class="owl-carousel owl-theme">
        <div class="carousel-item">
            <h4 class="item-title">Item 1</h4>
            <div class="item-content">Content for Item 1</div>
        </div>
        <div class="carousel-item">
            <h4 class="item-title">Item 2</h4>
            <div class="item-content">Content for Item 2</div>
        </div>
        <div class="carousel-item">
            <h4 class="item-title">Item 3</h4>
            <div class="item-content">Content for Item 3</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
