Standard slider disappeared after update

[rhodez]

Hi there!

When I updated from 1.62 to newest (2.2) Cardinal all my standard sliders disappeared from portfolio pages. They only show white screen, not the images.

Images show properly in the backend. I tried to insert the images again in the backend but it didn’t help. Please help soon!

Is this fixed in 2.3?

Just updated to 2.3 but the slider is still not working. Please fix it soon, my portfolio looks now really unprofessional…

This is 100% fixed in 2.30 – test locally. Make sure you clear your browser cache. If you disable the performance option in Theme Options, does it work then?

Hi there,

I disabled “load pre-minified scripts” and now sliders are working again.

How much performance boost does minification actually bring? I don’t notice much increase in load times.

Hey,

The minification is a good way to boost the Google page speed score: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/

If you can minify as many assets (CSS/JS) as possible it will get you a higher score and contribute to a faster page speed and hopefully help boost your site in the eyes of Google, it’s also simply good practice.

You can test your speed for minified VS non-minified using this tool: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/.

Cheers,
David.
