SlidesJS - TypeError: $(...).slidesjs is not a function

Question

I'm trying to implement the SlidesJS plugin on my site, but when the page loads i get the following error:

TypeError: $(...).slidesjs is not a function

My html is:

<div class="slider">
    <div class="container">
        <div id="slides">
                <img src="<?= img('slides/example-slide-1.jpg') ?>" alt="photo 1">
                <img src="<?= img('slides/example-slide-2.jpg') ?>" alt="photo 2">
                <img src="<?= img('slides/example-slide-3.jpg') ?>" alt="photo 3">
                <img src="<?= img('slides/example-slide-4.jpg') ?>" alt="photo 4">
                <a href="#" class="slidesjs-previous slidesjs-navigation"><i class="icon-chevron-left icon-large"></i></a>
                <a href="#" class="slidesjs-next slidesjs-navigation"><i class="icon-chevron-right icon-large"></i></a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

My css file contains:

.slider #slides {
    display: none;
}

And my js file contains:

    $(document).ready(function() {

    ...

    $("#slides").slidesjs({
            width: 1000,
            height: 290
        });
    }

I've included both jQuery and the plugin's specific script, but I still get this error. Am I missing anything?

I had the same problem and solved it by moving the file inclusion to the page footer.
