If you can share the webpage URL, I can provide a fix quickly. * Waiting for your response. * Thread Starter [Zarpilot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianwilson71/) * (@brianwilson71) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-a-mess-while-page-loading/#post-5019502) * Hi, It is [http://www.bessieknowsbest.co.uk](http://www.bessieknowsbest.co.uk) * Thanks for helping * Thread Starter [Zarpilot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianwilson71/) * (@brianwilson71) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-a-mess-while-page-loading/#post-5019526) * PS, I have just disabled the plugin for the moment as it looks quite bad.

See if “Transparent” background is checked. if yes, uncheck that option and save changes. * Let me know if it helps. * Thread Starter [Zarpilot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianwilson71/) * (@brianwilson71) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-a-mess-while-page-loading/#post-5019595) * Hi, transparent was unchecked already (#ffffff). Tried with both checked and unchecked but no dice. I have disabled plugin again. If you can email me I’ll send you a temp UN and PW so you can take a look.

I did some adjustment on another plugin, WP-Touch, but not Smooth Slider. * I tried to check/uncheck “Transparent” background without success too. * Any help appreciated 🙂 * Plugin Contributor [slidervilla](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slidervilla/) * (@slidervilla) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-a-mess-while-page-loading/#post-5019610) * Go to the Smooth Slider settings page ==> Basic Settings tab ==> Miscellaneous section ==> Enter the below CSS in “Custom Styles” box and save changes. * `.smooth_slider .smooth_slideri {background:rgb(231, 229, 219);}` * Let me know if it helps * Thread Starter [Zarpilot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brianwilson71/) * (@brianwilson71) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-a-mess-while-page-loading/#post-5019611) * Hi, * Yes, this did resolve it for me!… I changed the backround to 255, 255, 255 (white) and it is still good. Thanks! * I still have a rendering problem though on page load. As the page is loading, I can see 2 x “Read More” links. Once the page fully loads, one of them goes away and everything looks good.
