Sticky Post Slider forcing page up for every transition

In slider.php, I added a shortcode to display a rating. It shows up fine, except the slider now displays a number on the bottom right corner (to indicate the different slides) even when there’s only one slide, and when it transitions (even thought it’s the same one slide because there’s only one sticky post), it changes the page position to where the slider is. For example, if I’m scrolled down past the slider, it would transition and then pop my page back up to where the slider is visible.
I know this is extra, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
