I have an Owl Carousel 2 that’s being generated by a WordPress theme and I’ve set up some custom scripts similar to this:
owl.on('changed.owl.carousel', function() { activeEls = $('.owl-item.active'); setCarouselCaption( activeEls[1] ); });
This places the image caption of the middle image below the carousel in a full-width container.
The issue I’m having is, when I assign the active
items to activeEls
– it’s grabbing the active items BEFORE the click – rather than after.
Is there any way to wait for the Owl Carousel to update the active
items and THEN assign those to activeEls
?
OR – is there any way to detect whether the Previous
or the Next
button was clicked? Right now, I’m only able to detect a change but not which change.

A .setTimeout()
as short as 1ms does the trick here.
$(document).ready(function(){ var owl = $('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({ loop:true, margin:10, nav:true, items:3 }); owl.on('changed.owl.carousel', function(event) { setTimeout(function(){ var activeEls = $('.owl-item.active').eq(1); // .eq(1) to get the "middle image out of 3 actives" setCarouselCaption( activeEls ); },1); }); function setCarouselCaption(el){ $(".owl-item").removeClass("target"); el.addClass("target"); } }); // Ready
.target{ border-bottom:1px solid red; }
