Why is slick slider setoption not working?

Question

Trying to use slickSetOption to set autoplay to true, will have this trigger another way eventually. But the problem is that when I try to use slickSetOption nothing happens. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

  $(".slick-slider").slick({
   slidesToShow: 3,
   infinite:false,
   slidesToScroll: 1,
   autoplay: false,
   autoplaySpeed: 2000
  });
  
 $(".slick-slider").slick("slickSetOption", "autoplay", true, false);

Answer 1

The slickSetOption method is used to change the options of the slider after it has been initialized.

To use slickSetOption, you need to pass the option you want to change as the first argument, and the new value as the second argument. In your code, you're trying to set the autoplay option to true, but you're passing the value as the third argument, not the second.

Try changing your code to this (not tested):

$(".slick-slider").slick({
  slidesToShow: 3,
  infinite: false,
  slidesToScroll: 1,
  autoplay: false,
  autoplaySpeed: 2000
});

$(".slick-slider").slick("slickSetOption", "autoplay", true);
