Owl Carousel Won't Autoplay

Question

I'm using the Owl Carousel on my site. According to their documentation, this piece of JavaScript should work:

<script>
$("#intro").owlCarousel({

// Most important owl features

//Autoplay
autoPlay : 5000,
stopOnHover : false
)}
</script>

But for some reason it will not autoplay. Here is the HTML of the slider:

<div id="intro" class="owl-carousel">
    <div class="item first">
      <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
          <div class="carousel-caption-left colour-white">
            <h2>Title Text</h2>
            <h1>Sub title text here.</h1>
            <p>If you like you can even add a sentence or two here.</p>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="overlay-bg"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="item second">
      <div class="container">
        <div class="carousel-caption-left colour-white">
          <h2>Title Text</h2>
          <h1>Sub title text here.</h1>
          <p>If you like you can even add a sentence or two here.</p>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="overlay-bg"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="item third">
      <div class="container">
        <div class="carousel-caption-left colour-white">
          <h2>Title Text</h2>
          <h1>Sub title text here.</h1>
          <p>If you like you can even add a sentence or two here.</p>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="overlay-bg"></div>
    </div>
</div>

Answer 1

Setting autoPlay: true didn't work for me. But on setting autoPlay: 5000 it worked.
