[DevRithm]

it seems like it thanks for your effort Sir!

[leggomuhgreggo]

Should be fixed now. Thanks!

Uhm, I still get it with version 1.8.1

[timdiacon]

I'm also getting this issue with anything above 1.6

[davidloop]

Version 1.8.1 solves this problem. However, OP has only updated slick.js and not slick.min.js. Use slick.js in your stack for now.

[Ant-Pavel]

Use ":only-child" selector

[bonovski]

This issue still persists in the min.js versions hosted on various CDNs.
I do find it hard to understand why the two files are not identical.

[bridgetwes]

Noting this issue still persists in the min.js version. Works perfectly - even with slidesToShow settings at different breakpoints with the slick.js (non minified) version.

[fritzmg]

I can confirm that this issue still persists in the distributed minified version.

[shellygraham]

Thanks for posting a solution for this. The min.js version problem still exists.

With above solution you don't display the first dot when there are multiple slides.
If you want a solution with .scss use following:

.slick-dots {
    > li {
        display: inline-block;
    }
    > li:only-child {
        display: none;
    }
}

Hello to all!

Do you have an idea when the minified version will be available?

Thanks!

[erthi16]

Just to let you know... We've used the non minified version but our custom inline styles on each of our slides were removed between 768px and 1199px by the slick scripts... The minified version of slick does not have the bug... Can anyone confirm?

    }
}

Nice thinking there good sir!

[samuelecarpene]

What about to release the functionality in the minified version too?

[wecreatedigital]

This is still a bug - switching to the non-minified version resolves the issue for us. We compile everything using Yarn so we don't necessarily need the minified version but that was a decent hour I'll never see again! 🙃

[kunal-sin]

The problem is with the slick-dotted class which is getting added even if there is one item in the slick. and slick-dotted class is adding margin-bottom of 30px.
@wecreatedigital Thanks for the suggestion, switching to the non-minified version resolves the issue for me as well.
