Once was working until the upgrade to Drupal 7.97 and now if there is any content on any theme but the views slideshow pager - it will not cycle
In views the preview cycles fine
Also possibly not views slideshow, but the content placed below the slideshow will invade the pager placing the pic off to the right
I applied the patch from https://www.drupal.org/project/views_slideshow/issues/3309507 →
and patch 52 froom
https://www.drupal.org/project/views_slideshow/issues/1510526 →
after which the content no longer invades the pager space, but still it stops if any content is promoted to the front page and the content can remain published but just not promoted to front page
and I applied the patch from https://www.drupal.org/project/views_slideshow/issues/3361138 🐛 Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead Needs review
and on each patch flushed the cache
When no content is promoted, the pager controls create this huge space to the bottom of the theme
It is as though placing content hovers it over the pager pausing it
and . . . for some reason a "subscribe to RSS feeds" icon shows up with content added at the lower left corner of the content block
Closed: outdated
