How to make the Views Slideshow controls actually work? I installed the module Views Slideshow 7.x 3.1, including the dependent modules as well as the jquery.cycle.all.js (version 3.03) in sites/all/libraries/jquery.cycle. 

I am able to create a slideshow with a numeric pager showing 1 2 3 for the 3 slides I have added.

However, the pager numbers aren't linked and the previous and next buttons look like links but nothing happens when I click them. 

Have searched for a solution but found nothing.

Also, the slideshow doesn't cycle, just stays on the 1st slide.
Would it be possible to share the link?

It is also possible that there is a jquery conflict (ran into this issue a while ago). In my case it was superfish + flexslider, both with their own jquery source that were not interchangeable. This lead either the slider not working, or the menu not working.

I solved it by using jQuery.noConflict();
