I got round this by editing class-header-slider.php and changing from `$delay = '{interval:'.$delay_value.'}';` to `$delay = '{interval:'.$delay_value.', pause : "false" }';` * Be careful what you wish for though. You’ll never be able to pause it 🙂 * Thread Starter [markp23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markp23/) * (@markp23) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002684) * when i pull up page,Slider does not automatically scroll. How do i get it to scroll as without having to push the arrow? * [ElectricFeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/electricfeet/) * (@electricfeet) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002694) * Either: 1. Move your mouse off the slider, which will allow it to move, or 2. Make the changes I suggested above. * Thread Starter [markp23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markp23/) * (@markp23) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002695) * i did that but it still does not automatically scroll for some reason. It still takes pushing the arrow first to move. 🙁 * Thread Starter [markp23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markp23/) * (@markp23) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002700) * got this error and can’t log in. new at this if you can’t tell 🙂 how do i fix? * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_FUNCTION in /nfs/c08/ h04/mnt/126073/domains/nolimitschurchfl.com/html/wp-content/themes/customizr/ parts/class-header-slider.php on line 306 * [ElectricFeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/electricfeet/) * (@electricfeet) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002702) * I presume you edited class-header-slider.php and messed it up somehow. You need to go to a backup copy of the file and replace the damaged one using FTP. If you have no backup, you can download the theme [here](http://wordpress.org/themes/download/customizr.3.0.8.zip). * [theburgernerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theburgernerd/) * (@theburgernerd) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002816) * Hi Mark, * I was having the exact same issue. My slider would not auto-play when loaded until the navigation arrow was clicked. My issue ended up being related to a conflict with a plug-in. By chance do you use the **WP deferred JavaScript**? Or did you install another similar plug-in recently? As soon as I deactivated the plug-in my slider began to work again in auto-play. * Hope this helps. * Cheers. * [kevinbloomin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinbloomin/) * (@kevinbloomin) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002828) * Burgernerd, That was exactly my problem, it was actually the Google Maps Widget that was preventing my slider from scrolling automatically. Problem solved! I appreciate it! * [chappie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chappie/) * (@chappie) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002848) * [@kevinbloomin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kevinbloomin/) – I was about to install the Google Maps widget. Did you manage to find a workaround? * [mitmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitmi/) * (@mitmi) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002853) * Hey Guys, my sliders are also not moving and I did this step ElectricFeet wrote up there. * Can ya help me ? * EDIT: Solved my problem! * [rdellconsulting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdellconsulting/) * (@rdellconsulting) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002854) * [@mitmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitmi/) – what was the solution ( to help others)? * [raustin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raustin/) * (@raustin) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002858) * I have just discovered that I am experiencing the same problem. If the site launches AND the mouse cursor happens to be on the slider, the slider does not start. If the cursor is NOT on the slider, the slider works OK. Removing the “pause” altogether (as suggested by ElectricFeet)is not an appropriate solution. Can the pause be suspended until AFTER the FIRST time the slider is activated, ie. at launch – then activate the “pause” routine? Or perhaps the order in which the “pause” in loaded into the theme could be moved later in the launch process? I am not using any widgets. I have the following Plug-ins activated: Akismet, Go Daddy Quick Setup (probably not necessary), Jetpack, Regenerate Thumbnails, Welcome to WordPress (probably not necessary), WordPress SEO and WP-Optimize – all current versions as of 12/07/13. WordPress version 3.7.1. Site address is [http://www.justbeautifulinteriors.com](http://www.justbeautifulinteriors.com). * [rdellconsulting](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rdellconsulting/) * (@rdellconsulting) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002859) * Would lay money on a Plugin conflict. Probably Jetpack. Try disabling to see if problem goes away. * If not, disable ALL plugins and retry enabling one-by-one. * [raustin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raustin/) * (@raustin) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002860) * Thank you for responding, rdellconsulting. I think perhaps we are missing something here. While removing all or any of the plug-ins may be an interesting exercise, and I’ll try it to satisfy both of us, I strongly suspect that it will not make any difference for the following reason: The “pause” is intentional. By design, hovering the cursor over the slider causes the slider to pause – ANYTIME – including at initial launch. I understand that and it is doing just exactly that. I’m not suggesting that there is an error in the program, rather a condition that (to a novice – specifically my client) it appears that the slider is not working when they first launch the site AND the cursor coincidentally happens to be hovering on the slider box – therefore causing the slider to “Pause”. What I am requesting is a suspension of the pause until the slider has FIRST moved, then initiate the pause routine. This way the slider will always be active upon launch and then may be paused AFTER that time as/if desired. IMHO, Jetpack is a very standard plug-in and I would be quite concerned if the Customizr theme is not compatible with it. I am using Jetpack to develop a gallery on this site and I would prefer not to remove it. * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/slider-not-scrolling/#post-4002861) * > What I am requesting is a suspension of the pause until the slider has FIRST > moved, then initiate the pause routine. * What if people haven’t finished reading the first slide? * > IMHO, Jetpack is a very standard plug-in and I would be quite concerned if > the Customizr theme is not compatible with it. * If Jetpack isn’t causing the issue then don’t worry.
