### **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!

### **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>
