    On my website, the slider has 5 slides added, but only shows you the first slide, and then the second slide, and it does not go on to the third slide. Please help to take a look and let me know how I could fix this… Additionally, will like to check if the slideshow loops by default? I am not able to tell right now as it doesn’t go beyond slide 2.

    The issue can be found here: http://untitledstore.com/
    It works with other themes: Haven’t Tried
    It works when I disable all other plugins: Haven’t Tried
    Meta Slider version: 2.0

    My settings as follows:
    Size: 960 x 400
    Center align: checked
    Controls: Pager
    Effect: Fade

    Auto play: checked
    Easing: linear
    Slide direction: Horizontal
    Smart crop: checked
    Carousel mode: unchecked
    Random: checked
    Hover pause: checked
    Reverse: unchecked
    Slide delay: 3000ms
    Animation speed: 600ms
    Previous test: <
    Next text: >
    CSS classes: [blank]
    Print CSS: checked
    Print JS: checked

    Hi,

    Very odd! I can see it working using the preview: http://untitledstore.com/wp-content/plugins/ml-slider/preview.php?slider_id=1161

    The preview loads the slideshow using the shortcode, but not much else. So it looks like there is something in your theme that is causing it to break.

    Try disabling all your other plugins until it starts working.

    Regards
    Tom

    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick response! As the site is live, I can’t really tinker with the themes and plugins, hence haven’t managed to test it with other themes and all plugins off.

    I’m actually picking up from where a previous developer left off (don’t know the guy and I think my client has axed the dude for poor support or something) so I don’t have a development environment to work with.

    Do you know of any plugins that may interfere with this one?

    I don’t sorry, I think there are about 20,000 plugins available, so it could be any one of those – impossible to say without being able to debug!

    I can see the guy has edited the CSS for Meta Slider directly (which is bad practice as you’ll lose the changes if you update) so I’d suggest getting a dev environment, reverting his custom CSS changes (put them into the theme’s style.css file instead) and start disabling plugins.

    Regards,
    Tom.

    With regards to the style, I tried putting them in custom.css, but the plugin’s CSS was called after the custom.css file, so I had no choice but to end up updating the CSS within the plugin’s css file instead.

    Hi, when you put custom styles into the style.css file you need to make the selectors on your custom styles more specific than the default ones. Just add “.metaslider” to the start of all your custom selectors.

    So this (default style) 

    .flex-something {
    color: red;
}

    becomes (custom style)

    .metaslider .flex-something {
    color: blue;
}

    There’s some more info on it here; http://www.metaslider.com/documentation/developers/ (scroll down to ‘styling’)

    Regards
    Tom

    Thanks for the tip. If I want the navigation dots to show up on mobile and iPad, what should I do?

    Hi, not sure, I can’t really justify spending time on custom CSS issues sorry.

    Could you point me to the exact script file in the plugin that is doing the animation work? I will troubleshoot from there to see why it isn’t showing the slides after slide 2. Thank you!

    It will be something like /ml-slider/assets/sliders/flexslider/flexslider.min.js

    BUT, it works in the preview: http://untitledstore.com/wp-content/plugins/ml-slider/preview.php?slider_id=1161 (as I said, this runs the shortcode and nothing else, it doesn’t load your theme and it doesn’t load other plugins)

    So, it will be something to do with your theme or other plugins, you’d be best off looking there first 🙂
