Yes, there is most likely a conflict with the theme’s bundled slider because Soliloquy also uses FlexSlider as its slider foundation. Try deactivating the theme’s slider functionality and that should clear up any issues.
The theme only allows me to show the featured slider or not.
When I choose to not show it, the problem remains. My first slideshow in the particular blogpost is set at 100 milliseconds, yet it still changes at the same speed…
Anything else I can do?
Your theme is still outputting the old flexslider script, which would interfere with Soliloquy. Depending on the theme, you may have to comment that line out in the theme file. That’s most definitely the issue, though.
ok, what would that line look like?
Your theme is either enqueuing it or directly outputting it in the header. Try looking in the header.php file and look for jquery.flexslider-min.js.
If it isn’t in there, it is most most likely using wp_enqueue_script to load the script, so you can do a search for that function and try to comment it out from there.
It’s in my header.php file
But how do I comment it out?
