Hi,
Thank you for your help, I was able to get closer to the final solution. I have added the following to overwrite parent theme postslider.php in child theme folder:

function slide_navigation_arrows(){
          	$number_of_go_to = ceil($this->entries->found_posts / $this->atts['columns']);
          	$buttons = '';
			
			for ($i = 1; $i <= $number_of_go_to; $i++) 
            {
                $buttons .= '<a href="#'.$i.'" class="goto-slide">'.$i.'</a>';
            }
			
			$buttons = '<div class="avia-slideshow-dots avia-slideshow-controls">'.$buttons.'</div>';

			$html  = "";
			$html .= "<div class='avia-slideshow-arrows avia-slideshow-controls'>";
			$html .= 	"<a href='#prev' class='prev-slide' ".av_icon_string('prev_big').">".__('Previous','avia_framework' )."</a>";
			$html .= 	"<a href='#next' class='next-slide' ".av_icon_string('next_big').">".__('Next','avia_framework' )."</a>";
          
          	$html .= "</div>";
            $html .= 	$buttons;
            
          	
          	
            
			return $html;
		}

there were some missing closing div from your solution which I fixed. I then added the following to child theme functions.php

    function select_post_slide(){
    ?>        
<script>
    jQuery(window).load(function(){
        var columns = jQuery(".avia-content-slider").data("interval");
        jQuery(".avia-content-slider .slide-entry-wrap .slide-entry").each(function( index ) {
                var postLink = jQuery(this).find("a").attr("href");
            	var thisURL = window.location.pathname; 
            
            	if(postLink.indexOf(thisURL) != -1){
            	    var slide = (index / columns)+1;
        			$(".avia-slideshow-dots a[href='#"+slide.toFixed()+"']").click();
            	}
            });
    });
</script>
<?php
    }
    
    add_action('wp_footer', 'select_post_slide');
?>

This worked as expected, however there is a delay i.e. the post slider is shown and then the click happens after. Is there a way to do this click before the slider is shown to avoid the “flicker”?

Thanks for all your help!
