   The show loads with a line before the header slideshow will begin. I've placed it in different folders - changed the images and orders and the issue persists - mtochurch1.org. Any suggestions or help?

   I've also noted that it is only with the first page load. I have it on the homepage and ministries.

   I don't see the slideshow on there, this was likely a conflict with your theme's stylesheet.

   Sorry - I've been working in it because the site was so slow. I was trying to find the source. I've reduced the number of header slides from 10 to 3 and that seems to have cured the loading issue...but the site is still to slow responding to the menus. So now I'm wondering if it's the number of custom headers I have (even though I have kept them under 20kbs. I don't know enough about Wordpres to identify whether these headers are slow do to loading on the server. So I added a cache plugin. But the response time still seems to be too slow.

   I'd really not like to have to create a new child theme or resort to just the 2010 so any suggestions are appreciated.

   You need to add a clear before the slideshow to take care of the float on the title so that the slideshow lays out correctly in all browsers:

   <div style="clear:both;"></div>

   I don't see anything that would be slowing the site down, it might just be your webhost. But you could try deactivating your plugins one-by-one and testing the site to see if one of them is slowing down the site significantly.

   I'll give it a try. I don't have any other pluggins but the wp-top and cache. So I have to assume it's my code. Thanks again for all you do.
