First of all: Happy New Year to all. And thank you to SiteOrigin for a great set of widgets! I had already tried to open a similar thread on new year’s day, but after it has been pending approval for more than 3 days, I assume that something had gone wrong in that attempt. :-)
I am putting am animated series of Hero frames with Buttons on my home page by means of a SiteOrigin Custom Sidebar widget. Inside the widget I hvae a Layout Builder and with that I have the SiteOrigin Hero widget. This works perfectly, except for the fact that there is a huge delay before the animation of the various Hero frames starts. Once the animation starts, the timing works as I have it set up. In fact, I maintain the default settings (time out between frames: 8000ms). But the first delay before the animation starts is about 10 times as long!
Interestingly enough, this issue does not occur when I apply the Hero widget directly on a page, so without the Custom Sidebar route.
For those wondering how I put the Custom Sidebar widget onto my home page: I have this PHP code in my index.php:
<?php if ( is_home() && !is_paged() ): ?> <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'widget-home-top' ); ?> <?php endif; ?>
Does anyone understand what it is I am doing wrong or how I could solve this?
Many thanks in advance!
