Picture Slider Speed vs Text Slider Speed not timed in the same way

There’s no fix at the moment, we’ll have to look into it a bit. The sliders are different jQuery plugins and they behave differently.

Hello, I am also experiencing this issue. Is there an ETA on when this might be resolved?

The superslides slider plugin (https://github.com/nicinabox/superslides) used for the images works fine with text also as shown in their demo. So rather than use two approaches, I just switched to using superslides for both the image and text and no longer have the out of sync problem.

In a child theme, copy the function sydney_slider_template() from the original sydney/inc/slider.php to functions.php for the child theme. Get rid of the text-slider-section div and move the h2/p text blocks into the if’s for each of the images. Instead of using “contain” class for the div rename it to “text-slider” to pick up the existing css for styling. I needed to add some css for positioning but otherwise worked fine.

.text-slider {
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  position: absolute;
  top: 40%;
  text-align: center;
}

Ok, so just to clarify. You installed the superslides slider plugin and then made some code modifications that you posted and the sync problem was resolved?

If so, this is awesome.

@jb15, the sydney theme already uses the superslides plugin so no extra install was needed, but yes I did need to make some modifications in a child theme to get the problem resolved. The sync problem goes away because rather than use two plugins (what the sydney theme does by default) for the sliders, the changes make it so you only use the one and therefore they won’t get out of sync. Let me know if you run into issues with the steps and want some help.

Any chance you could copy the code here on the thread? That way I can just copy it? I’m not really a programmer and tried to make the changes and it didn’t go so well.

Vlad….just wondering if this issue may have been addressed yet. I’ve tried the steps above (thank you @laconic) but can’t make it work.

Thanks.

I have just started using this theme and love it, aside from the glitch with the slider image vs text transitions. My slider messages are key to the images they go with.

@vlad: any idea when there will be a fix for this?

@laconic: did your solution work for you? If you could post the code that would be really helpful! Thank you ??

laconic you seem to have a perfect remedy for this situation. Can you grant me access to some code which I can copy & past as my programming skills aren’t robust enough to follow you’re guide?

I was also wondering if by using this method I can enable Call to Action buttons for each image/slide.

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone else help with the codeing
