  Hi, can you please advise? I want to use testimonial elements carousel or cycle but text changes to fast, no one would be able to read it, is there a place where I can adjust that? the settings for those elements open empty for me, and styling menu is just for typography, ideally for me in the carousel option the visitor could change slides with arrows at his own peace, can this be achieved? I am using business demo.
  
  Thank you

  Hello,
  
  You can change the speed of the testimonial scrolling by editing the file /js/main.js.
  Find the lines:
  
  function testimonialsCarousel(){ "use strict"; $('.testimonial_carousel').each(function(){ var $self = $(this); $(this).carouFredSel({ auto: true, scroll: { items : 1, fx: 'fade' }, prev : { button : $self.parent('.testimonial_carousel_element').find('.prev') },
  
  and replace them with:
  
  function testimonialsCarousel(){ "use strict"; $('.testimonial_carousel').each(function(){ var $self = $(this); $(this).carouFredSel({ auto: true, scroll: { items : 1, fx: 'fade', duration:200 },//add here the duration of a testimon. prev : { button : $self.parent('.testimonial_carousel_element').find('.prev') },
  
  If you want to scroll oonly on arrow click then you must set ” auto: false” in the above code.
  
  The testimonial on business demo https://www.clipular.com/c/4750269688578048.png?k=dN5yxjV__DUpQZN6K1Mn7-OerTk doe have the navigation arrows, you must hover it and they will appear.
  
  Best regards!

  I am obviously an amateur here, so sorry for all my questions, (I went for codeless because of that, hah) when I change this js file, or when I add sth to style.css file, after updating the theme, I guess I will have to do it again, or is there a way to keep those changes while updating the theme?
  
  Or maybe I don’t need to update if the previous version works for me?
  
  Thanks

  Hello,
  
  If you have updated the theme you must do the changes again.

  This is a better way to do it without editing theme files:
  
  Add this Javascript to Specular > General > extra JS
  
  jQuery( function ( $ ) { // ------------ RECONFIGURE CAROUSEL $('.testimonial_carousel').trigger("destroy"); // kill old carousel config & stop rotation $('.testimonial_carousel').each(function(){ var $self = $(this); $(this).carouFredSel({ auto: true, scroll: { items : 1, fx: 'fade', duration: 3000 }, // new duration in milliseconds prev : { button : $self.parent('.testimonial_carousel_element').find('.prev') }, next : { button : $self.parent('.testimonial_carousel_element').find('.next') } }); }); } );

  Hi James,
  
  I have pasted the code in custom js code (in specular general settings) but it does not work, I know nothing about js codes, so didn’t want to play with it, I don’t see the end of two longest lines, can’t scroll that much, might that be the problem?
  
  Thanks

  In wordpress when you navigate to specular, then to general options and scroll down you will see custom js code , I think this is what James meant, but I have copied it there and it does not work… And I don’t know anything about js codes so can’t help any more

  I saw in the js code that it has been implemented – at least a variable has been inserted … where can it be set … ?

  Hello,
  
  @assand, there is no need to make the js changes anymore. The testimonials element has the duration option included int the element’s settings. See screenshot. Just set the duration time here.
  
  Let us know.
  
  Best regards!
