Image Slider flashes wrong image at first - html

I am using a wordpress theme, Pitch Pro, and it has a built in slider. My issue is that sometimes the slider will flash the wrong image for a second. I noticed that it does not do it normally but only if I go from a page such as support to the home page. I have tried changed and setting the order. Changing the max amount of slides, currently 6, but nothing seems to fix it.
The site currently is jrummy16.com/test if anyone has any idea on a fix.
Not sure if this could relate to it anyway but the server I am using has issues and to fix it hostgator told me to add define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); to my config.php file. It fixed the issue but I do not recall the slider having this issue before adding that.
I have no idea on how to even start troubleshooting this. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
All of the files were found inside the Theme, Pitch Pro.
I opened up my home.php file and I find this at the top for slider.
<?php
$slider_template = apply_filters('pitch_slider_template', array('slider', null));
get_template_part( $slider_template[0], $slider_template[1] );
?>
I then went and opened up slider.php in the same folder. It has this code,
<?php
$slides = new WP_Query(array(
'numberposts' => siteorigin_setting('slider_max_slides'),
'nopaging' => true,
'post_type' => 'slide',
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC'
));
if($slides->have_posts()){
?>
<div id="slider">
<div class="container">
<div class="slides nivoSlider">
<?php while ($slides->have_posts()) : $slides->the_post(); if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
<?php if(get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'slide_destination', true)) : $destination = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'slide_destination', true) ?>
<?php echo '<a href="'.esc_url(get_permalink($destination)).'" title="'.esc_attr(get_the_title($destination)).'">' ?>
<?php elseif(get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'slide_destination_url', true)) : $destination = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'slide_destination_url', true) ?>
<?php echo '<a href="'.esc_url($destination).'">' ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(get_the_ID(), 'slide') ?>
<?php if(!empty($destination)) echo '</a>' ?>
<?php endif; endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php $slides->rewind_posts(); ?>
<div class="indicators-wrapper">
<ul class="indicators">
<?php while ($slides->have_posts()) : $slides->the_post(); if(has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
<li class="indicator <?php if($slides->current_post == 0) echo 'active' ?> indicator-group-<?php echo $slides->post_count ?>">
<div class="indicator-container">
<div class="pointer"></div>
<h4><?php the_title() ?></h4>
<?php the_excerpt() ?>
</div>
</li>
<?php endif; endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php
wp_reset_postdata();
}
I am not sure if this will help or not but I hope that it does.

I think the reason is that before slider loads completely, the page will show last image in the list of slides and in your case it is this one:
<img width="705" height="344" src="http://jrummy16.com/test/wp-content/uploads/BA-slider.jpg" class="attachment-slide wp-post-image" alt="BA-slider">
Here is a similar problem and it has few of the solutions which you may use it as well.
UPDATE:
I found this article which suggests to modify your CSS. I would paste the code here but the article uses image to show CSS code:)

is_single() function dose not show thumbnail image

I am using get_template_part('content'); in single.php. The the_post_thumbnail('large-thumbnail'); function shows the thumbnail image perfectly before. But it does not show with is_single() function in content.php.
content.php code:
<?php
if(is_single()){
the_post_thumbnail('large-thumbnail');
the_content();
}else{
the_post_thumbnail('small-thumbnail');
echo get_the_excerpt();
?>

<?php } ?>
single.php:
<article>
<div class="single_post_content">
<h5><?php the_title(); ?></h5>
<?php
get_template_part('content');
?>
</div>
</article>
I think you forget to write wp loop in your single.php file. follow this code,
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
get_template_part('content');
endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
the_post_thumbnail() do not work out of wp loop, So call your get_template_part() function between the loop. May be now its will solve your problem.

If statement not working when it really should

Okay, this is by far one of the strangest things I've come across in some time.. I have the following piece of code in one of my woocommerce files:
<?php $titlevar = wp_title('', 0); ?>
<?php echo $titlevar; ?>
<?php if($titlevar == "Men") { ?>
<div id="sidemenu" style="float:left;width: 180px;float:left;height:100px">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'sidemenumen' )); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
As you can see, if my $titlevar variable equals "Men", it should display a div with a menu inside. I've echo'ed the variable at the top and it actually outputs 'Men' (without quotes of course), how is it possible that it's not showing my div??

How to wrap every 3 div's contents in a div?

I need every three divs of class "loopcontent" to be wrapped in a new div of class "threeacross". I'm new to WordPress and really not a PHP guy yet, but I'm learning as I go.
Here's my loop:
<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="loopcontent">
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail();
} else {
// the current post lacks a thumbnail
}
?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; else : ?>
<div class="loopcontent">
<h1>Page Not Found</h1>
<p>Looks like the page you're looking for isn't here anymore. Try browsing the categories, archives, or using the search box below.</p>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/searhform.php'); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Something like this should work. This keeps a running count and places your div wraps every three posts. Let me know if this helps. If not, let me know what it's outputting, and I can tweak it:
<?php
if(have_posts()) : for($count=0;have_posts();$count++) : the_post();
$open = !($count%3) ? '<div class="threeacross">' : ''; //Create open wrapper if count is divisible by 3
$close = !($count%3) && $count ? '</div>' : ''; //Close the previous wrapper if count is divisible by 3 and greater than 0
echo $close.$open;
?>
<div class="loopcontent">
<?php
if(has_post_thumbnail()) the_post_thumbnail();
else{
// the current post lacks a thumbnail
}
?>
<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php endfor; else : ?>
<div class="loopcontent">
<h1>Page Not Found</h1>
<p>Looks like the page you're looking for isn't here anymore. Try browsing the categories, archives, or using the search box below.</p>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/searhform.php'); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo $count ? '</div>' : ''; //Close the last wrapper if post count is greater than 0 ?>

Wordpress Attachment URL function not working

I've been working on a redesign for a website on a local development setup and have decided to give a shot at WordPress for the first time. On my front page, I have an image slider that slides through the three most recently posted items that I want on the front page. On all of the posts, I have attached an image that I want to display on the front page. Here's my code on the homepage:
<?php query_posts('category_name="main page"&showposts=3');
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="panelContent">
<img class="panelPhoto" src="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url(get_the_ID()); ?> "/>
<div class="panelCaption">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
The code returns an underscore in the src part of the img tag. Not exactly sure why.
Also, here's an image of my media panel showing that the images are indeed attached:
wp_get_attachment_url() takes an Attachment ID, not a Post ID.
Use get_children() to get the attachments for a specific post.
<?php $images = get_children(array(
'post_parent' => get_the_ID(),
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'numberposts' => 1,
'post_mime_type' => 'image',)); ?>
<img class="panelPhoto" src="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($images[0]->ID); ?> "/>

Wordpress; image not appearing post loop

I have post about this before, but I didn't get any conclusive answer but I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have setup some custom post types, and with them, some custom fields using Wordpress 3's UI.
One of the fields I have set up is called banner_image, but in the loop, it doesn't output the image.
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner_image', true); ?>
This simply outputs the ID number of the post. If I set the function to false, I get an array with this ID in and nothing else. How do I get the path to the image? I can't work this out and Googling reveals a sea of content not related to my problem, it's a real difficult one to search for so you're my only hope!
Many thanks,
Michael.
<?php
global $post;
$tmp_post = $post;
$args = array(
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'work',
'order' => 'DESC'
);
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<?php if( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'show_in_home_banner', true) == "yes" ) { ?>
<li class="slide">
<div class="slide-image">
<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($post->ID) ?>">
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner_image', true); ?>
</a>
</div>
<div class="slide-content">
<h3 class="slide-header"><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sub_title', true); ?></h3>
<p class="slide-title"><strong><?php echo the_title(); ?></strong></p>
</div>
</li>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Try this
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'banner_image', $single); ?>
Apparently, the custom field 'banner_image' doesn't have the right value. I guess it doesn't save the correct value first. You may want to install the Simple WP FirePHP plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-wp-firephp/) and check the value with the fb() function.
