    I’ve tried just about every setting that there is for such a simple thing, searched the message boards, etc., and no answer.

    I have 20 or so images loaded and the meta slider is set to full width. I’d like it to open and SLOWLY scroll the images from left to right at a constant speed. that’s it. no menu buttons, no clicking needed, just a very simple smooth left to right scroll.

    right now, no matter what I so it swings left to right, speeds up, slows down, when it gets to the end, it swings wildly back, etc….

    hope there are super simple setting for such a simple need 😉

    Hi @gpigp,

    We do offer swiping on mobile devices, and we do have a continuous option available (so it wont just from the last slide all the way back to the first), however we don’t have the ability to have a single-speed continuous slide like I think you are describing. I’m not aware of any other plugins offering this unfortunately.

    You want something that animates like this, right? https://codepen.io/nathansouza/pen/peXpOr

    Hi @gpigpi,

    I’ll mark this as resolved since we didn’t hear back from you, but please open a new issue if you have any more problems. Have a good weekend!

    Thank you for the Java Script and CSS code to be able to handle this. It took so long to get a response that I spent a whole day trying things over and over again – WP is such a hog when it comes to saving and previewing.

    Finally after a lot of struggle I found the way to do it through the MetaSlider interface however there is no way to post or add photos here ( which is a shame ) so I’ll enter in all the details by hand.

    – USE FlexSlider
    – Effect: Fade
    – Theme: Default
    – Arrows: no
    – Navigation: hidden

    Advanced Settings:
    – Stretch: Unchecked
    – Center align: Unchecked
    – Auto Play: Checked
    – Image Crop: Smart Crop
    – Carousel Mode: Checked
    – Carousel Margin: 0px
    – Random: Unchecked
    – Hover Pause: Checked
    – Reverse: Unchecked
    – Slide Delay: 0ms
    – Animation Speed: 55555 <—- a very relaxed speed
    – Slide Direction: Horizontal
    – Easing: Linear
    – Previous Text: None
    – Next Text: None

    Developer Options:
    – CSS Classes: none
    – print CSS: checked
    – print JS: checked
    – No Conflict Mode: Checked

    Hope this helps the next person who faces this. The Java Script and CSS will also help of course, but for those who aren’t up to that, The MetaSlider actually does work for a simple slow scroll look and feel.

    Also is would be VERY helpful if there were functionality so that when it reaches the end of the image scroll is slowly starts in the opposite direction and not snap back to the beginning to start over which is not a good look / interaction at all
