# Flicker / Flicker & Flashing

 * Hi,
 * Love the features, even though I’m using it very basic-ly. However, I’m having
   an issue with flickering and flashing.
 * Occasionally, the images will flicker during fade. It happens to the large background
   images (sometimes one, sometimes more) or the top layers. I read in the forum
   here to set a background colour to the images and I’ve done that. Still no effect.
   Images should be just under 300k, I couldn’t get it to go less without noise.
 * Flashing also occurs where it looks like a top layer png will shoot in from the
   left. It’s like the Flash (the super hero).
 * These are all sporadic, seems to happen more when your cursor is over the slider
   and there’s a total of 4 slides.
 * I’m prepared to go pro to make them all clickable but I need this resolved.
    
   The person I’m doing this for is questioning me about it.
 * Thanks,
 * TOG
 * p.s. When you click on a slide in a stop that’s not clickable, is it suppose 
   to stop.

 * Hi [@theonyxguy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theonyxguy/),
 * I’m not sure what could cause this issue, but as you describe that it happens
   most of the times when your mouse is over, I would assume instantly to this case:
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-transition-mess-up-other-plugins-animation?replies=1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hover-transition-mess-up-other-plugins-animation?replies=1)
 * I’m not sure why, but theme developer started to add CSS transition for every:
   HOVER node on the site and this could cause flickering as JavaScript also do 
   the animations… Bad usage of CSS transitions.
 * Maybe it is not related with your case, but it would be great if you could send
   a link to your site where the slider published to find the cause. If it is not
   public you can send it in email to: [roland@nextendweb.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flicker-flicker-flashing/roland@nextendweb.com?output_format=md)–
   in the email please refer to this topic 🙂
 * Best regards,

 * It turned out it is the same issue what we had before in other topic. It is a
   theme from [@magictheme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magictheme/) and
   they are using this HOVER transition.
 * I hope they will fix their themes ASAP. If you have the same issue as theooyxguy
   do the following steps:
 * Find a way to add CSS to your site, for example this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/accesspress-custom-css/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/accesspress-custom-css/)
 * and place the following CSS code:
 *     ```
       :hover {
       	-webkit-transition: none;
       	-moz-transition: none;
       	-o-transition: none;
       	transition: none;
       }
       ```

 * Thank you very much Roland. I think that fixed it.
 * I use a child theme so I’m not concerned with the theme updates. I have to modify
   the hovers, but it’s how I expect it to be. As you mentioned:
 * a:hover {
    -webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease; -moz-transition: all 0.2s ease;-
   o-transition: all 0.2s ease; transition: all 0.2s ease; }
 * fixes some of the hovers.
 * Thanks again.

 * actually this one is better for ‘me’:
 * a:hover, a div:hover {
    -webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease; -moz-transition: all
   0.2s ease; -o-transition: all 0.2s ease; transition: all 0.2s ease; }
