slideshow timings

    Hi,

    I’m enjoying using this theme to revamp my website, but have run into an issue. Before I upgraded to the latest build a couple of days ago and installed the Organic Customizer plugin, I remember being able to set the slideshow timing from the Customize menu. That option seems to have disappeared, but I’m hoping it’s just moved somewhere else.

    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Susan

    To follow up while waiting for a reply …

    I reinstalled the older build (v1.0.2) and there it was! In the Customise Menu under Theme Options/slideshow Settings. But it doesn’t seem to to be functioning? The slideshow auto starts and the intervals aren’t setting (I’m trying to set it to “Hold” as I’m guessing that means the slideshow does not auto start?)

    I’m updating the theme again as I am using the Customizer Plugin. But any help on how to set the intervals, or set the slideshow to not start until clicked would be great 😉

    Thanks,
    Susan

    Hello,

    Yes, as of v1.1.7 we removed the slideshow timing options from the customizer and hard coded them into the Flexslider options.

    If you would like to manually update the options, navigate to the jquery.custom.js file in the theme editor, and you can change the following options to meet your needs:

    slideshowSpeed : 12000,
    animation : ‘fade’,

    In those options, 12000 is equal to 12 seconds. So, 6000 would be 6 seconds. You can also change the animation style from ‘fade’ to ‘slide’.

    In your case, if you would like to have the frame hold, I would recommend updating the option to the following:

    slideshowSpeed : 999999999,

    I hope this helps. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.

    I did find another workaround by changing the slideshow value in the jquery.flexslider.js, line 1105, to

    slideshow: false

    I’m guessing I can probably add that value into the jquery.custom.js file rather then in the main file and it will do the same thing?

    Hi @amanitam,

    Yeah, that will work too. 🙂

    I would recommend passing that option through the jquery.custom.js file rather than editing the core flexslider code, but the concept is the same.

    If it helps, here are a list of all the flexslider options that can be used, https://github.com/woocommerce/FlexSlider/wiki/FlexSlider-Properties

    Thanks!

    I figured that would be the better route to take instead of changng the core file 😉

    Thanks for your help, and for providing this theme. I plan on tweaking things to suit, but most of what I wanted is already there, which is a fabulous thing!

    Thanks again!
