Hi I am using flexslider for RTL website,in this case no images appear and I should set direction to "ltr" for a div that holding slider, and it solves my problem but in this case it makes my page horizontal scroll, enter image description here how can solve this problem? below is my markup :

<div class="flexslider">

                        <ul class="slides">
                            <li data-thumb="/Content/slider/1.jpg">
                                <img src="/Content/slider/1.jpg">
                            </li>
                            <li data-thumb="/Content/slider/1.jpg">
                                <img src="/Content/slider/1.jpg">
                            </li>
                            <li data-thumb="/Content/slider/1.jpg">
                                <img src="/Content/slider/1.jpg">
                            </li>
                            <li data-thumb="/Content/slider/1.jpg">
                                <img src="/Content/slider/1.jpg">
                            </li>

I found the solution, I am using bootstrp with RTL support and it set direction:rtl; for html :

html{
  direction:rtl;

}

just commented direction property in above code and set direction:"ltr"; for sildes wrapper:

.slides{
  direction:ltr;
  /*...*/
}
