So is there anyway to prevent twitter bootstrap carousel from auto sliding on the page load unless the next or previous button is clicked?

Thanks

Or if you're using Bootstrap 3.0 you can stop the cycling with data-interval="false" for instance

<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide" data-interval="false">

Other helpful carousel data attributes are here -> http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#carousel-usage

This is not 100% the answer to the question because it also stops it from cycling even when a button is clicked. But it was exactly what I was looking for. So thank you anyway! – Tillito Sep 19 '13 at 16:23

`data-interval="false"` also works with **Bootstrap 4** – Ionut Ciuta Apr 01 '18 at 09:59

Actually, the problem is now solved. I added the 'pause' argument to the method 'carousel' like below:

$(document).ready(function() {      
   $('.carousel').carousel('pause');
});

Anyway, thanks so much @Yohn for your tips toward this solution.

This will start sliding after prev/next, take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/a/18208327/463065 if that's not what you're looking for. – Trufa Nov 25 '13 at 01:15
for a more specific one would be `$(function(){ $("#idName").carousel('pause'); });` – roger Mar 15 '18 at 01:34

The problem with carousel automatically sliding after prev/next button press is solved.

$('.carousel').carousel({
    pause: true,
    interval: false
});

if you're using bootstrap 3 set data-interval="false" on the HTML structure of carousel

example:

<div id="carousel-example-generic" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" data-interval="false">

Use data-interval="false" to stop automatic slide
Use data-wrap="false" to stop circular slide

Below are the list of parameters for bootstrap carousel. Like Interval, pause, wrap:

For more details refer this link:

http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_ref_js_carousel.asp

Hope this will help you :)

Note: This is for further help. I mean how you can customise or change default behaviour once carousel is loaded.

I think maybe you should go to check the official instruction about carousel, for me, i have not found answer above, because of multiple versions of bootstrap, I'm using b4-alpha and i want the autoplay effect stop.

$(document).ready({
    pause:true,
    interval:false
});

this script does not make any effect while mouse leave that page, exactly carousel area. go to official definition and find those :

So you will find why.if carousel page onmouseover event triggered, page will pause, while mouse out of that page, it'll resume again.

So, if you want a page stop forever and rotate manually, you can just set data-interval='false'.

For Bootstrap 4 simply remove the 'data-ride="carousel"' from the carousel div. This removes auto play at load time.

To enable the auto play again you would still have to use the "play" call in javascript.

Bootstrap 5.2, just remove data-bs-ride

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.2/components/carousel/#disable-touch-swiping

Take note that data-bs-interval="false" from Bootstrap 5.0 has been deprecated on Bootstrap 5.2

Bootstrap 5.0, add data-bs-interval="false"
