Slider shows blank space before wrapping to restart

  • The slider works beautifully to display the images the first time, but as the last image is displayed, it moves to the left leaving blank space until it gets further to the left of the screen. Then the other images suddenly appear where they should have been if they had slid to the left properly.
    See the website here.

    Ideally, the slider should just wrap to the starting image with no delay or blank spaces.

    How can I fix this? I am quite comfortable making CSS and code changes if necessary to get this to work properly.

    Hi, l0rily!

    Genesis Responsive Slider is intended for full-width slides at the moment – it doesn’t support carousels like the one on your site by default, which is why you’re seeing the slide wrap-around issue.

    To fix the layout issue with your carousel, you’d likely need to:

    1. Update wp-content/plugins/genesis-responsive-slider/js/jquery.flexslider.js to the latest version of flexslider, which supports carousels: https://github.com/woothemes/FlexSlider/blob/master/jquery.flexslider.js

    2. Adapt the $output variable in the genesis_responsive_slider_flexslider_params() function at wp-content/plugins/genesis-responsive-slider/genesis-responsive-slider.php to include the itemWidth and itemMargin properties from the carousel demo at https://flexslider.woothemes.com/basic-carousel.html.

    You may need to make additional changes, but hopefully that helps as a starting point.

    If you’d prefer not to adapt the plugin directly, you could consider using a slider that supports carousels by default, such as this one: https://soliloquywp.com/addons/carousel/

    Thank you for your response and suggestions, Nick!

    Does this mean that there might be plans to support the carousel functionality in the future?

    I’d really like to keep my plugins in the StudioPress family because I trust the Genesis products.

    You’re welcome! Completely understand your desire to stick with StudioPress plugins. ??

    There are no immediate plans to add carousel support that I’m aware of, and it’s not a request I see regularly, but you’re very welcome to modify the plugin if you wish. (I will file this as a feature request, but I can’t promise if or when it will be added.)
