Can't even make the Bootstrap carousel example code work. Specifically the prev and next button

Time:04-28

I was exploring the basics of Bootstrap and everything seemed to worked fine(the very basic stuff, tables, col, etc.). However, I tried to make a carousel by following the example on the bootstrap website and it didn't work. The carousel appeared fine with everything but the next and prev buttons did nothing.

So I just copied the example on the website directly and the same thing happens, everything is there but non-functional. I was using the bootstrap files given to me by WebStorm but I changed it to the CDN links as a troubleshooting step to no avail.

I tried in Edge and Chrome too. [edit]I also tried a suggestion that I found on SO to change the anchor tags to button tags for the buttons but it didn't work[/edit]

Am I missing a dependency somewhere? I believe I have everything I need:

  • bootstrap.min.css
  • bootstrap.bundled.min.js
  • jquery.min.js

Thank you.

Like @CBroe pointed out in the comment there was a version mismatch, the code was for Bootstrap 4.0 and the Bootstrap version I was using was 5.0.
