• Hi, I’m using this plugin on a website for a client and it’s absolutely great, no other plugin was as flexible or easy to manage as this one. There’s just one customization I can’t figure out how to do. The page is for a restaurant and I’m using SA to show the daily special offers (mon – fri). What I want is a way to set the corresponding slide as the active start slide depending on the day, ie slide 3 on wednesdays. If this is not a feature included in the plugin, does anyone know how I might achieve it?

    Thanks! ??

    I really cannot think of an easy/nice way to do this – the only solution I can think of involves creating 7 copies of your slider, which is not really feasible.

    The solution I would do would be a pure coding solution, using the Owl Carousel plugin, but that will take some coding (PHP/JavaScript) skills – whereby the order of the slide DIVs generated is ascertained by fetching today’s date, and the Owl Carousel JavaScript is generated automatically by the PHP code (also you will need to enqueue the required Owl Carousel JS/CSS library files up-front).

    Is there no way to hook into the function that sets the active tag on an item and run a script that does it by checking the date? The thing is, I still need need the pages to be easily modified by the client and that’s why I appreciated this plugin.
