I am using a wordpress theme, Pitch Pro, and it has a built in slider. My issue is that sometimes the slider will flash the wrong image for a second. I noticed that it does not do it normally but only if I go from a page such as support to the home page. I have tried changed and setting the order. Changing the max amount of slides, currently 6, but nothing seems to fix it.
The site currently is jrummy16.com/test if anyone has any idea on a fix.
Not sure if this could relate to it anyway but the server I am using has issues and to fix it hostgator told me to add define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false ); to my config.php file. It fixed the issue but I do not recall the slider having this issue before adding that.
I have no idea on how to even start troubleshooting this. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
All of the files were found inside the Theme, Pitch Pro.
I opened up my home.php file and I find this at the top for slider.
<?php
$slider_template = apply_filters('pitch_slider_template', array('slider', null));
get_template_part( $slider_template[0], $slider_template[1] );
?>
I then went and opened up slider.php in the same folder. It has this code,
<?php
$slides = new WP_Query(array(
'numberposts' => siteorigin_setting('slider_max_slides'),
'nopaging' => true,
'post_type' => 'slide',
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC'
));
if($slides->have_posts()){
?>
<div id="slider">
<div class="container">
<div class="slides nivoSlider">
<?php while ($slides->have_posts()) : $slides->the_post(); if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
<?php if(get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'slide_destination', true)) : $destination = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'slide_destination', true) ?>
<?php echo '<a href="'.esc_url(get_permalink($destination)).'" title="'.esc_attr(get_the_title($destination)).'">' ?>
<?php elseif(get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'slide_destination_url', true)) : $destination = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'slide_destination_url', true) ?>
<?php echo '<a href="'.esc_url($destination).'">' ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(get_the_ID(), 'slide') ?>
<?php if(!empty($destination)) echo '</a>' ?>
<?php endif; endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php $slides->rewind_posts(); ?>
<div class="indicators-wrapper">
<ul class="indicators">
<?php while ($slides->have_posts()) : $slides->the_post(); if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
<li class="indicator <?php if($slides->current_post == 0) echo 'active' ?> indicator-group-<?php echo $slides->post_count ?>">
<div class="indicator-container">
<div class="pointer"></div>
<h4><?php the_title() ?></h4>
<?php the_excerpt() ?>
</div>
</li>
<?php endif; endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php
wp_reset_postdata();
}
I am not sure if this will help or not but I hope that it does.
I think the reason is that before slider loads completely, the page will show last image in the list of slides and in your case it is this one:
Here is a similar problem and it has few of the solutions which you may use it as well.
UPDATE:
I found this article which suggests to modify your CSS. I would paste the code here but the article uses image to show CSS code:)
