Can't get slider to show up on mobile home page

    Hi,

    So been trying to figure out how to get my home page to work with WP touch and it hasn’t been easy. I use Woothemes Canvas 4.6.7/FRAMEWORK 5.5.6. My site is: http://smellslikeinfinitesadness.com/

    Initially I was just getting a blank mobile homepage. As a workaround I made the custom url http://smellslikeinfinitesadness.com/tag/featured/. ‘Featured’ is a tag I assign to every post so I figured at least it would show my latest posts. That works, but I still can’t get the slider to function.

    I’ve tried every thing I can think of, even selecting ‘show posts from a specific tag’ and using ‘featured.’

    Oddly enough if I I press on the ‘search’ button with nothing typed in the field, the slider pulls up. Sure wish I could keep it up there!

    Any ideas how to fix? I even tried doing a second ‘home page’ showing latest posts but I still get a blank homepage in mobile, thus the featured workaround.

    Thanks!.

    UPDATE: Since I mentioned that when I pressed the search button that the slider descends I made my custom url landing page: http://smellslikeinfinitesadness.com/?s=&submit=Search

    Lo and behold the slider works, but it does take a little longer for the home page to load than I’d like given the google page speed score:

    So any ideas on how to either fix the speed or just make my native home page work with WP Touch would be most appreciated.

    On a side note, you’ll see at the bottom of the speed test I that my mobile user experience on the page speed test went from 100 to 91. This happened before I made the url change.

    Is this something to do with the recent WordPress upgrade to 3.9.1? The parts it’s pointing out to change isn’t even viewable. But I do see now that the scrolling is now a bit wobbly as there’s a black border to the side that didn’t use to show up there.

    Sorry for the ramble, but just wondering if any of this is related and what a possible fix could be.

    Thanks!
