Black backgrounds in slider “recent posts”

js/smooth.js
cleartypeNoBg: false, // set to true to disable extra cleartype fixing (leave false to force background color setting on slides)
alter
cleartypeNoBg: true,

I changed the file… no effect unfortunately. Maybe I could change the background color to white?

I have the same Issue, it only happens when there is more than one post in the slider, It appears to be the CSS for ‘element style’ that is getting changed. see example CSS below, I disabled all other plugins and its still the case.

Smoothslider version Version: 2.8.8 WP Version – 5.6

element.style {
max-width: 350px;
margin: 0px;
background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
z-index: 3;
opacity: 1;
display: block;
width: 350px;
height: 245.8px;

Forgot to add Site in question is https://www.rbsc.org.uk, Only displaying one post at present for obvious reasons, I also tried your suggested fix with no joy. Thanks In advance Keith

I too am having this problem. I notice that Henk seems to have fixed his site as I’ve just followed the link to his site.
How did you solve it Henk?

Hi @2sheds ,

I followed the advice of @babuagiorgi :

js/smooth.js
cleartypeNoBg: false, // set to true to disable extra cleartype fixing (leave false to force background color setting on slides)
alter
cleartypeNoBg: true,

At first it had no effect (as I wrote above) but suddenly, at once, it was fixed. So I can only suggest to do the same, make sure you update all plugins (not only smooth_slider) and I hope it’ll take effect on your site too!

hi Henk

thank you for such a quick reply. I have applied the change as per @babuagiorgi instructions and it has fixed my problem too.

thank you once again and thank you @babuagiorgi

Thanks Henk, 2sheds and babuagiorgi.

Have applied the change again and all sorted I guess I had a cache issue the fist time I tried it, then rolled back the change.

Much appreciated

Keith

I fixed it in CSS.

Note: this will set all slider backgrounds to white… So in case you need different backgrounds on multiple sliders, you might need another solution.

.smooth_slider .smooth_slideri {
        background-color: white!important;
}
