Testimonials slider loop/query not working PHP Wordpress - php

Question

So, I am trying to display Testimonials with Slick slider but it is not working. I guess I linked the css and js files wrong or something because testimonials are displaying but slider doesn't work. So please help with troubleshooting.
This is code:
HTML
<section class="reviews">
<div class="row d-flex flex-column">
<div class="testimonial-holder">
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'testimonials',
// 'post_status' => 'publish',
// 'posts_per_page' => 1,
// 'order' => 'ASC',
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
<?php
while( $query->have_posts() ) :
$query->the_post();
?>
<div class="lead-text d-flex text-center justify-content-center flex-column">
<?php echo '<p class="lead">' . get_the_content() . '</p>' . '<small>' . '-' . get_the_title() . '</small>'; ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div>
</div>
</section>
ENQUE
function load_css() {
wp_register_style( 'slick', get_template_directory_uri() . '/src/js/slick/slick.css', array(), false, 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style('slick');
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_css' );
function load_js() {
wp_register_script( 'slick', get_template_directory_uri() . '/src/js/slick/slick.min.js', false, true);
wp_enqueue_script('slick');
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_js' );
CALLING IT WITH JQUERY//This is only line of code and it should work
$('.testimonial-holder').slick();

Answer 1

Did you attach the .slick() callback on document.ready state?

Answer 2

At the end I pulled this off with Advanced Custom Fields with number field. I gave up on slider and changed the concept little bit. So, depends of the entered number in the filed, it will generate number of stars in the Front end.
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'testimonials',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 1,
'order' => 'DESC',
'orderby'=> 'rand',
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
//if( $query->have_posts() ) :
?>
<!-- Displaying testimonials -->
<?php
while( $query->have_posts() ) : ?>
<!-- <div class="col-lg-4"> -->
<div class="content-holder">
<?php $query->the_post(); ?>
<div class="stars-holder">
<?php
$star = get_field('stars');
$count = 0;
$element = '<i class="fa fa-star"></i>';
while ($count < $star) : $count++;
echo $element;
endwhile;
?>
</div>
<div class="lead-text d-flex text-center justify-content-center flex-column">
<?php echo '<p class="lead">' . get_the_content() . '</p>' . '<small>' . '-' . get_the_title() . '</small>'; ?>
</div>
</div>
<!-- </div> -->
<?php endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
