Problem with create Carousel implementation,

Putting that code as shown in that post in a code snippet or in your functions.php file isn’t enough, because you’re not telling WordPress when on the page to output the results.

You either need to use it in a WordPress hook which targets a specific part of your page, or use it in a child theme template file.

For example, you could put it somewhere in the page.php template file of your theme. If adding it to your theme template files, see also:

Here I am using the code inside the /twentytwentyone/template-parts/content/content-page.php file of the Twenty Twenty-One theme:

And here is the debug output:

The code doesn’t build a carousel. You can use it to build your own HTML markup for each slide, but you’ll still need to implement a carousel JavaScript library to transform the HTML markup into a slider.

If you want to display a carousel directly from the [site_reviews] shortcode, then you will need to either use the Review Themes addon, or use the first method outlined in the forum post you referenced along with some other slider WordPress plugin. I don’t know of any slider plugin that does this, but you may find one in the WordPress plugin directory.
