Title: Aslyder pause button Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Aslyder pause button * Resolved [samjslater](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samjslater/) * (@samjslater) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aslyder-pause-button/) * How do I create a pause button for the Aslyder plugin? * I seem to be able to pause it and control manually, OR have it run in auto, but if I want to control the “autooff”function, how does one go about it? * Great plugin though. * peACE x * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/jam/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/jam/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Avant 5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avant-5/) * (@avant-5) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aslyder-pause-button/#post-4393654) * Good morning! * Very good question, and the quick answer is – there is no pauce button feature. But I can see a global use for that. I am a very bad programmer before my first coffee, so I need to get some fuel in, and then I’ll get on it and release an up early today. * Thanks for the compliment and the request. Luckily you picked the one script in the plugin that’s actually written by me to need a feature added! * Thread Starter [samjslater](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samjslater/) * (@samjslater) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aslyder-pause-button/#post-4393663) * YOU ARE A STUNNER. * Thanks so much. It literally has EVERYTHING else I wanted from a plugin, no branding nout… just a big list of images doing the things I want them to do. * A pause button would be smashing. I owe you a coffee. x * Plugin Author [Avant 5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avant-5/) * (@avant-5) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aslyder-pause-button/#post-4393678) * Ok! Sorry that took so long. My new computer didn’t want to communicate with the WP repository, so I couldn’t get the new version uploaded. * Quick tutorial on how to make this work. * To create a pause/(re)start button, add a link anywhere on the page. As always, the element does not need to be inside the #aslyder container, and will work anywhere on the web page. * ``` Pause ``` * That’s all you have to do for the default. If the ‘Pause’ link is clicked, the slideshow is halted, and the text is replaced with “Start”, waiting for a restarting click. * For styling purposes, the script uses two classes. **a-pause** and **a-start**. Use these for image replacement or other styling. If using **a-pause** remember to also add this class in your default markup. * ``` Pause ``` * The script accepts two HTML5 data tags for changing the default text, if desired. These are totally optional, and for most will be unneccessary since image replacement will use used to display start/pause buttons to the user instead of text. * **data-pausetext** **data-starttext** * Whatever you set these data types to, will be used rather than “Start” and “Pause” as is the default for the script. * ``` Please wait! ``` * Remember to set the default pause text in the HTML markup to match the pausetext data, or it will look a little weird to the user – if using text. They can be different if desired, however, and will not impact the script function. * And that’s it! Hope you find this update satisfactory for your needs! Thanks for using JAM, and my aSlyder script! * Thread Starter [samjslater](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samjslater/) * (@samjslater) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aslyder-pause-button/#post-4393711) * YOU.

I can easily count the `
