Big Slider Blank On Page Load

Hello,

We have just upgraded to the very latest version of the Newspaper Theme 4.6.1, WordPress 4.1 and the latest WP Bakery Visual Composer 4.3.5.

When we load our website’s main page, that has the “Big Slider” the slider loads blank. There are “two” frames that are blank, then the slider runs with images present.

My settings are 16 posts to make 4 separate slides of content, with 6 second delay to start slides. When the page is first loaded, there are “two blank slides” then the rest of the slides (4) load with images.

Does anyone else have or had this trouble? We have disabled all plugins and it still happens.

Thank you.

Hello,

I remember this happening to me because I haven’t used the proper categories to display. I would recommend reduce the posts to 4 with no delay and try to see if it works. I think your problem might be because you messed up some categories tags?

Hello, Thanks for the suggestions! 🙂

@kovachx: When we set to just 4 and no delay, it loads (we had already tried this prior to posting here), but no “slider” effect works, so images do not slide. Just 4 still images. We have allowed for all categories, which is what we want. There are no posts without images on any published posts.

@lucian: We have verified all posts have images. See: http://fishfarminginternational.com

You can see the slider loads blank, then works after the two “blank” frames and all 16 posts included, have images.

Here is what we have tried so far with no luck:

1. Changing to less number of post. Once we get to 4, the 2 blank frames don’t load.

2. Picking a single category which all posts have images. Still shows blank frames.

3. Anything above 4 posts selected and we get the 2 blank frames, with no posts before the posts with images load.

4. We use this plugin to be certain there is a featured image for each post: https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-list-featured-image/

5. We are using the “Big Slide” from the WPBakery Visual Composer.

6. We tried deactivating all plugins, this did not fix it.

Any other ideas?

Thank you.

Try to download this plugin regenerate thumbnails and run it then clear cache and see if it works.

In case it helps anyone else, it seems it was some paragraph code being injected by the iMember360 plugin. We updated plugin to latest version and now it seems to be working.
