[Plugin: Meteor Slides] broken slide transition

There are a couple of things that I would look into.

These are the current slideshow settings:

/* <![CDATA[ */
var meteorslidessettings = {
	meteorslideshowspeed: "1000",
	meteorslideshowduration: "5000",
	meteorslideshowheight: "",
	meteorslideshowwidth: "",
	meteorslideshowtransition: "fade"
};
/* ]]> */

First off, you want to make sure that the height and width options are set. These dimensions aren’t just to size the images, but are also used by the CSS and jQuery to layout the slideshow. Leaving them blank could cause some issues.

Now for the speed, there are two settings to control the timing, the “Transition Speed” and the “Slide Duration”. The slide duration controls how long each slide is paused on in the slideshow. The transition speed controls how fast the transition is. Right now the transition is set for one second, for the fade transition I would try slowing the transition speed down to 2 or 3 seconds.

The last thing I would look into is this JavaScript that your theme is loading:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.ranacreek.com/dev/wp-content/themes/ranacreek/scripts/projects.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.ranacreek.com/dev/wp-content/themes/ranacreek/scripts/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>

It is possible this could be conflicting with the slideshow, because it should be fading from slide to slide smoothly without revealing the white background. I would try disabling this extra JavaScript to see if that changes the slideshow’s behavior.

That narrows it down, at least you can rule out a JavaScript conflict.

Yes, you can setup multiple slideshows with different sizes. You need to use metadata to change the size of a specific slideshow. There’s a little more info in this post.

If you want to use different sized slideshows, I’d suggest using this development version of Meteor Slides.

No problem, yes save a copy in case you have any troubles and replace those files with the dev version.

Glad to help Brandon, if you use a custom stylesheet, you won’t have to redo the changes again.
