I've used Views Slideshow on two different sites. Both are running the same version, 6.x-2.3.

Both seem to work fine with the exception of changing the "activeSlide" class. It does not get removed from the current pager, and it doesn't get added to the new one. The one that works is placing the "activeSlide" class in a div tag that has the number's a in it, while the one that doesn't work tried to put it directly in the a tag instead. I have tried fresh-installing, running cron and update, clearing cache, other browsers, etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I have googled quite a bit and come up dry.

So, this is definitely a bug in the functionality, is there at least an acknowledgement that it's being worked on? Or should I find new methods?

This should be working and I know some sites that are working. You may want to check other divs. I think at one point in time we had the active on the wrong div. Do you have a website to look at?

This worked for me:

.views-slideshow-controls-bottom .pager-item.activeSlide a

note the a tag after activeSlide!

I appreciate the advice, but I don't see how this relates to the problem. This is not related to CSS at all, I already knew how to select the "activeSlide" class. The problem is that class never moves to the next item as it is supposed to. So the javascript is broken.

Just found out the Rotor Banner module was causing a conflict in my install.

I do not have the Rotor Banner module installed. In fact I don't have many modules installed and this is still an issue for me. I'll check with other modules by removing them but... not sure if it will reveal the issue.

I don't have RotorBanner installed either, so that is not the issue.

AH HAH! It was indeed the Rotor Banner causing the conflict for me, thanks a ton for pointing that out. Feels nice to finally get this solved.

I will leave it open though as it appears others are having the same issue but not related to Rotor.

I de-installed Views Slideshow Xtra which was the conflict for me.

I committed a patch to help solve conflicts. Hopefully that will help. I have tested and activeSlide is working for me when I just have views slideshow.

The problem with Rotor Banner is due to its dependency with "jQuery plugins" module, and that it loads its Cycle plugin, which is a bit old. Maybe those who don't have the Rotor Banner module installed but are experiencing this issue too, they have another module using "jQuery plugins" cycle.

In my case, the solution was to replace the file jquery.cycle.min.js in "JQuery plugins" module with the one provided by Views Slideshow, and both modules (Rotor Banner and Views Slideshow) seem to work properly now.

There is some code in views_slideshow_singleframe_init trying to avoid to load twice the cycle plugin when jquery plugins are managed by JQ module. Similar code could be added to avoid this situation with jQuery plugins module too, but the cycle bundled with jQuery plugins module is too old and, at least in my setup, doesn't solve the 'activeSlide' problem.

Mine did not work until I updated the external plugin. I do this by default now, and behaviour appears to be fine - just like budalokko does above in #17
