Hello there

I have implemented the featured slider into the home page of my site and although its looks great and provides me with the ability to link to websites etc it doesn’t allow the user to pause the slider.
Is there any CSS I could add to the ‘additional CSS’ section that would provide the ability to pause on hover or add a pause button like there is for the header video.

Huge thanks

@mattandwillow: Hello there,
Pause on hover feature for the slider has been added to the theme. An update will be released soon. I will let you know when the update is released.

Hello there

I have installed the update, the changelog shows the new updated theme version but there is no pause on hover option in the featured slider section.

Any ideas ?

@mattandwillow: Hello there,
There is no option in the customizer. I have set pause on hover switched on by default in feature slider section.
When you hover over a slide it will pause.

Let me know if it is working.
Kind Regards,

Hello

I’m definitely running the updated theme (see below)

= 1.4.5 (Released: March 03, 2020) =
* Added: Pause on hover feature in Featured Slider (Requested by: @mattandwillow)

The featured slider images do not pause on hover though.

I wonder if its because im not using posts or featured images, im using the ‘custom’ option within the featured slider customizer..

Hopefully you can manage to get it working for me.

Huge thanks

Matt

@mattandwillow: Hello Matt,
I checked using the Custom Type and pause on hover seems to be working fine.
Can you please post in your site URL so that I can look into the issue?

Kind Regards,

Hello there
I have managed to get the pause on hover working when I visit the site on Internet Explorer instead of Chrome.
The problem with pause on hover is that site visitors dont see the slider ‘slide’ because the mouse is always on the slider when you scroll down to it. If they didn’t know it scrolled, they wouldn’t know to move their cursor away from the slider to see the next image.
Would it be possible to have the featured slider without the pause on hover and add a pause button like the video header instead ?
Many thanks
Matt

Hello there
Just following up my last message. Is there any way to add a pause button rather than pause on hover as when visitors scroll down the page with pause on hover activated, they may not realise the slider contains other slides as the cursor always tends to end up hovering over the image.
Regards
Matt

@mattandwillow: Hello Matt,
I will check if that’s possible and get back to you soon.

Thankyou so much, I really appreciate all your efforts.

@mattandwillow: Hello Matt,
I am afraid it is not possible to have a button to play and pause the slider. If you really need it I suggest you to hire a customizer to get it done.

Kind Regards,

Thats OK

Leave it so it pauses on hover, that’s fine

Cheers for all your time

Matt
