We’ve upgraded to 3.8. We’ve tried disabling plugins like Jetpack, PHP Code, NextGen Gallery, etc… Thinking this interferes with Slideshow. We’ve also spent the last two hours reading similar cases on this support forum, and following some suggestions to no avail.
We’ve also switched from loading the script stylesheet at the head or footer. When we load it at the footer we at least get the ‘circle’ loading gif.
Please take a look at the site and let me know if I’m missing anything.
