Home Page Slider Issue since Upgrade

I recently upgraded to 3.2.1. Since (i believe) the upgrade has messed with my automatic slider on the home page. I’m not 100% sure the upgrade effected it or not but the slider is no longer functional

a single image (one of the several images i have set to slide) is up and permanent. it will not link anywhere, even though i have set it to link to other pages within my site.

i know there is a deactivate slider function, but this is marked “deactivated” and is not the issue.

if anyone has suggestions, I’m happy to hear them.
