Sakin, You are correct! I tested it again today on two iphones and the sliders work fine. I have no idea what happened but I have a screenshot to prove it. Thanks for checking.

Sakin, if you look at this thread http://catchthemes.com/support-forum/topic/home-page-load-problem/#post-57212 you’ll see that you suggested using the “wait” setting to solve the problem of slider images appearing out of order. I did that back then and it seemed to work, even on the iphone.

The problem on the iphone is that the slider title text of all three slider images are superimposed on the third image and you the image doesn’t change on its own or by clicking the the next icon. I don’t see that problem on the ipad or PC.

My phone is connected at very high speed through WIFI.

The Cycle2 Image Loader fixes the overlapping content problem on the slider. However, the downside is that slides may appear out of order, which is a problem in my case. Eero, is this an issue with the patch you had done by the person from India?

Eero, a friend highly skilled in WordPress suggested pasting the code supplied by Sakin into function.php window and that seems to have worked for me. No need to use a child theme. Go to Appearance > Editor and open the files editor for the website. In the right hand column find and click on function.php and it will open in the window edit area. In the upper right make sure you are in the correct Theme.​ Copy and past the code supplied by Sakin into that window. Save and test the site.

Note, there is some danger this could result in trouble but it worked for me. There is also the possibility that you can’t edit the function.php file from inside your admin area because of the permissions placed on it by you hosting company. Finally, it’s my understanding the fix may be nullified by updating the Catch Base Pro theme in the future. I’m a novice and not sure about this.

Finally, there is some evidence the load problem is more of an issue with the Chrome browser.

Best,

Mark

I still have the problem even after reducing the number of slider images to 4. The images are 1200×514 pixels and are small files (54, 79, 94, 127 kB). Content below the slider initially loads on top of the slider and after a delay the content properly falls into place below the slider. It looks bad. The only content below the slider is a paragraph of text and a 4-song MP3 Jplayer. So I don’t have a heavy page here.

I’m supposed to go live shortly and would appreciate help with a solution.

Best, Mark
