# Legacy slider conflicting with Yoast SEO plugin

 * We are experiencing an issue with the **Slider** where it enters an **infinite
   scroll / looping behavior when the second image loads** on frontend.
 * **Details:**
    - WordPress version: 6.9
    - Issue: On the second slide load, the page begins infinite scrolling or looping
      unexpectedly
    - Behavior changes when Yoast SEO is active
 * **Important observation:**
   When the **Yoast SEO plugin is deactivated**, the 
   slider works correctly and the infinite scroll issue does not occur.
 * This suggests a possible **JavaScript conflict or interaction between the old
   Slider and Yoast SEO**.
 * Please let us know:
    - If this is a known compatibility issue
    - If there is a recommended fix, workaround, or setting adjustment
    - If debug information or logs would help troubleshoot further
 * Thank you for your assistance.

 * Hi [@gnanasekaran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnanasekaran/)
 * Thanks for using MetaSlider.
 * When you say you’re using a Legacy slider, are you using Responsive Slides, Nivo
   Slider, or Coin Slider? [https://www.metaslider.com/docs/legacy-slideshow-options/](https://www.metaslider.com/docs/legacy-slideshow-options/)

 * Hi [@stevejburge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevejburge/) It’s Nivo
   Slider

 * Thanks [@gnanasekaran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnanasekaran/). I 
   would recommend switching this slideshow to FlexSlider if you see an issue. The
   NivoSlider option stopped receiving updates in 2023.

 * Hi [@stevejburge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevejburge/) After switching
   the slideshow to FlexSlider, it breaks on the frontend, as shown in the screenshot.

 * Hi [@gnanasekaran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnanasekaran/). Our support
   here on the WordPress forum is limited in the holidays. I would recommend moving
   to FlexSlider. We offer a wide range of different themes that you can test. There’s
   also some troubleshooting steps to follow if a theme isn’t displaying correctly:

 * [@stevejburge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevejburge/) As [@macbeathdigitalsolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macbeathdigitalsolutions/)
   mentioned, many users facing the same issue. This problem is not related to the
   slider type or theme. **ML Slider** is conflicting with **Yoast SEO**.
 * We have been using ML Slider for a long time across many of our sites, and this
   issue is now breaking all of them. I urge your team to fix this issue as soon
   as possible.

 * [@gnanasekaran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnanasekaran/) It turned 
   out that other report was mistaken. I would surprised be if Yoast is an issue.
   That plugin doesn’t load any frontend CSS or Javascript.
