Links on BxSlider not working in Google Chrome but working in all other browsers

Altenatively in your jquery.bxslider.js file: Replace this:

if (slider.settings.touchEnabled && !slider.settings.ticker) { initTouch(); }

With this:

if (navigator.maxTouchPoints > 0) { initTouch(); }

This solved it for me.

Author of the plugin is aware of this bug. You can track the progress here bxSlider issues

Quick workaround while waiting for the patch is to set touchEnabled to false.

$('.your-slider').bxSlider({
        touchEnabled: false
    });

I faced the same issue. I reverted to bxslider Version 4.2.1. , since I couldn't wait for the bugfix neither was I willing to disable the "touchEnabled" setting nor to touch the library code. With this version every thing works as it should (even in Chrome 77).
