[Plugin: WP Featured Content Slider] Nav Buttons break with 10 posts in slider

I’m experiencing exactly the same problem too.

Would really appreciate a quick bug fix on this..!

I’m getting the same thing combined with a weird effect when I hover…all the post copy appears at once creating a blob of text although the featured image remains the same. It would be great to see a fix in my lifetime. ??

I just ran into this problem and figured out what is wrong. The navigation buttons have the same z-index as the content in the slider. Once I changed both of the navigivation buttons to have a z-index of 11 instead of 10, they worked again.

You need to manually modify the content-slider.php file of this plugin.

This is an example of what my css looks like for the plugin:

#featured_slider .feat_prev {
background: transparent url(<?php echo $direct_path;?>/images/sprite.png) no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 0px;
width: 17px;
z-index: 11;
height: 16px;
position: absolute;
left: 20px;
cursor: pointer;
bottom: 15px;
float: left;
}

#featured_slider .feat_next {
background: transparent url(<?php echo $direct_path;?>/images/sprite.png) no-repeat;
background-position: -17px 0px;
width: 17px;
z-index: 11;
height: 16px;
position: absolute;
left: 40px;
bottom: 15px;
cursor: pointer;
}

notice the z-index value.

Just to clarify it looks the the next/prev zindex needs to be equal to the number of featured posts plus one. So if you have 10 posts the zindex needs to be at least 11, if you have 32 posts it needs to be 33.
