Animated GIFs don’t animate

    Metaslider uses the scaled image that WordPress creates rather than the original, and there’s no option to change that. This means animated GIFs are displayed as static images.

    The issue can be found here: https://nastymerch.co.uk/ Fixed with a JS hack, so the issue can’t be seen

  • Hi,

    You should be able to disabled cropping under Advanced Settings? Does that work how you want it?

    I added this to my jQuery

    $('.ms-image img').attr('src', function(){
	return $(this).attr('src').replace('-scaled.gif', '.gif');
});

    Thanks!
    it seems i don’t have that -scaled.gif applied, so maybe i’ll have to search some other alternatives.

    @edumusa Have a link you can share with it broken?

    Did you try disabling the crop setting? That tells MetaSlider to use the pure image from WP. But if something else within WP is manipulating the images you could have problems.

    Thank you. Disabling crop seems to work, but now perhaps i’ll have to manually crop the images that comes after…

    One more thing: any chance in controlling the slide so that images starts only after the animated gif ends? gif has different time from the rest of the image slides.

    regards

    Not possible out of the box. You would need some custom JavaScript to monitor the timing, then control FlexSlider movement with custom code.
