Wrapper Stacking

  • Hi WordPress Comunity

    I wonder if you could help me. Before I start I am on an amateur at web building and code, so please keep it simple for me.

    I have a slight problem on my front page. I have a wrapper which is part of the original theme that I have. Since I have also added a slider (via a shortcode). Now when you open the webpage it seems to stack everything on top of each other and then after a couple of seconds it goes does what it is needed to do. Could I please have some advice please?

    Website is https://www.axescouts.org.uk/staging

    It seems that the JavaScript that runs the carousel is running too late. It’s running after a couple of dozen other scripts, seconds after your page has loaded.

    Do you know if this is intentional? It could be.

    Do you know who set your site up for you?

    The site was downloaded from one of the scout resource site. I have played with a few things. So it could well have been me that has put it in the wrong place.

    How do I go about moving the carousel?

    The JavaScript file that’s loading the slider needs to be moved – which is different from moving the slider you see on the page. Did you add that JavaScript file through a plugin? Or was the slider already there ready for you on the theme?

    No the slider is run by a plugin that I downloaded and I added the shortcode into the php file. I must admit I know nothing about java.

    The wrapper seamed initialy to work fine. but as I built on the theme to get it to what I wanted it to do it went a little screwy. I could if you want copy and paste the php text to show you where it sits if that makes sense

    Oh which plugin is it?

    The plugin is called Meta Slider

    How significant is the issue when you deactivate your eventsplus plugin?

    It was still happening before I added the events plus plugin. However I have just tried it and I still have the same issue.

    Maybe I need to look for a new slider plugin
