Slideshow only working after reloading the page

    Hi there,

    I have a problem with Cyclone Slider 2. Before updating to the new version I couldn’t see any of my slideshows – only after reloading the page.
    Now – after the update – the first slide and the navigation arrows are displayed but it’s not possible to navigate. Also the dots that show the current position are missing. Can anyone help me?
    I think it also depends on the browser because before the update the slideshows were totally working in Safari.

    Here’s an example of my page and what I mean: http://www.timostuehler.de/works/evergreen/

    Thanks a lot for your support 🙂

    Hello lunar_storm,

    It probably has something to do with your slider placed within a slider. It looks like you are recreating the elements when moving to a different slide in your mother slider. In other words, Cyclone Slider gets destroyed when moving slides in your mother slider. Try calling jQuery('.cycle-slideshow').cycle() after you have moved into the slide containing Cyclone Slider. I recommend you consult the Cycle 2 API – http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/api/

    Best regards

    Hi kosinix,

    thanks a lot for your quick respond 🙂 I understand now what the problem is but I was not able to fix it cause I’m not that familiar with programming 🙁
    And I do not have a FTP connection to the server right now but I already called my provider to set it up.
    So do I have to do this in the settings / editor of the plugin or in the wordpress installation data?

    Thanks again and best regards :):)

    Hello lunar_storm,

    You need to find the code in your mother slider that inserts/re-inserts the elements of the current slide. After that code, try calling jQuery('.cycle-slideshow').cycle() and see if the Cyclone Slider 2 works. You should ask the help of your developer to assist you with coding as it requires intermediate-advanced skill in jquery and js.

    Best regards

    Hi kosinix,

    I contacted my provider but unfortunately he has no time to fix that code for me 🙁 In between I got an FTP access and can change files. So maybe I can do it with a little help… 🙂

    Could you shortly explain me where I have to add that line “jQuery('.cycle-slideshow').cycle()” ? What do you mean with “You need to find the code in your mother slider that inserts/re-inserts the elements of the current slide”? I actually don’t know where to search 🙁

    Would really be nice if you can help me out…hopefully I can make it 🙂

    Thanks a lot 🙂

    Hello lunar_storm,

    I just found out about Cyclone Slider 2 this morning and was using it for my own portfolio as well. I also ran into the same troubles you did, and went scrambling around for a solution. And I found one (at least it worked for me)!

    All I did was go to the Cyclone Slider 2 Settings on the WP Admin page. Then I changed it to load the scripts in the Header as opposed to the footer. That’s it.

    Hi everyone,

    I still have a problem with Cyclone Slider 2 🙁 I experimented with the settings, made an update but nothing really works.
    After the update to the newest version clicking on the arrow (change the slide) leads to a page refresh and I really don’t know why 🙁

    Thanks a lot for any help!! 🙂
