Actually there seems to be a bug with the “args=autoSlide: true” and it only ads the “autoslide” variable and not the “true” and thus messing things up.
I actually ended out coding my own slider using another basic slider.
You could try change it to “args=autoSlide:true” or manually inset the code using php tags and thus make sure that that “autoSlide: true”.
Another issue I had that made me unable to install any slider was that the theme had an old version of jquery loading in the bottom.
Anyways, look at the things I did there and you might be able to clear it out.
