Hi thebigdu,
Responsive slides doesn’t seem to have a start delay type parameter, which is what you need by the sounds of it.
Flex Slider on the other hand has an ‘initDelay’ parameter as documented here: https://github.com/woothemes/flexslider
To specify the initDelay parameter you’ll need to add something like this to your themes functions.php file:
function metaslider_flex_params($options, $slider_id) {
if ($slider_id == 123) { // change 123 to the slideshow ID to be delayed
$options['initDelay'] = 1000;
}
return $options;
}
add_filter('metaslider_flex_slider_parameters', 'metaslider_flex_params', 10, 2);
^ That code is untested as we only usually cover bugs as part of free support, but it should work. If you require further support (about custom functionality) please consider upgrading to Meta Slider Pro and raise a ticket with us.
Regards,
Tom
Tom,
Thank you very much for your help. I switched my sliders to Flex, but when I insert the function code into functions.php, the code text is displayed at the very top of my dashboard and website. It has no effect on the slider itself. Should the code maybe be inserted into another file?
I am using the Responsive Free theme.
Thanks again,
Brian
Hi Brian,
Please make sure the code is above the last ?> in the file, it sounds like it’s not located within a <?php …. ?> ‘block’.

That works, thanks very much Tom!
Cool 🙂
Please consider leaving a review if you get a minute.
