I got a solution, using wp ml-slider.2.7.1 plugin but one problem, for free version I can’t control the delay time, the images are moving very fast. 🙁

It is possible to change the delay time in the free version.

Click on the ‘Advanced Settings’ header, there are lots of extra configuration options in there including Slide Delay.

I got the advance setting and change the delay time. 🙂 but for a visitor who is visiting to our website 1st time, finding an extra div/something bad in the slide section. I fail to tell you the matter, may be you can understand if you visit http://companydevelopers.com. Thanks.

Hi Kate ! To control the delay time in Meta slider plugin, you can add the following code to the functions.php file in the folder path “\wp-content\themes\dw-page-modern”.

 function metaslider_flex_params($options, $slider_id) {
    if ($slider_id == 470) { // change 470 to the slideshow ID to be delayed
        $options['initDelay'] = 9000;
    }
    return $options;
}
add_filter('metaslider_flex_slider_parameters', 'metaslider_flex_params', 10, 2);

Notice: You can add the code under line 1 of the file.
Hope this helps !

The code posted will delay the start of the slideshow by 9 seconds.

To adjust the delay between each slide, click ‘Advanced Settings’ (on the right, next to your slides) and adjust the ‘Slide delay’ setting – this is available in the free version.
