I have a joomla website that uses a template. There is a slideshow on the homepage that doesn't work. I don't know why. Console gives this error:

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).responsiveSlides is not a function

This is the code that handles the slideshow:

slideshow.php:

<script>
// You can also use "$(window).load(function() {"
$(function () {
  $("#slider4").responsiveSlides({
    auto: true,
    pager: false,
    nav: true,
    speed: 500,
    namespace: "callbacks",
    before: function () {
      $('.events').append("<li>before event fired.</li>");
    },
    after: function () {
      $('.events').append("<li>after event fired.</li>");
    }
  });

});
</script>
