When I added any code after the align:right it went back to the FAQ link. No idea why.
You have my login info if you want to play with it. I assume that having audio in either the header or the footer is a good thing.
Yes, that’s the right slider but if you advance to, I think, slide five you will see a checkmark come in but no text to the left of it.
Finally got it. I had to add another </div> to end the link to the FAQ page in the menu above. The one strange thing left is that I wanted to move the player up a little. When I add margin-top:-30px to the style it goes back to the FAQ page link even though there is a </div>. That makes no sense to me but that doesn’t mean anything. lol
After a little tinkering it’s playing properly in both Firefox and Chrome now. Now the issue is if I can get the player in the header.
Thanks, Peter. I had only uploaded the .OGG format because the .mp3 file was 12MB, above the 10MB limit. I’m converting it now to .WMA for Google, although my search for compatible formats for Chrome included .OGG, so I am confused.
On the placement of the player I didn’t want it in the LayerSlider at all. I wanted it below the menu on the right side, in the header. Is this possible?
Not sure what you are looking at. I saw that you logged in so I assume you went to the slider. That first slide has several layers, first the image, then the body text, then the first line of text (the one that’s not showing), then the checkmark, then the second line of text (which is showing), then the checkmark.
Thanks, Josue. Although the shortcodes worked perfectly I am now growing concerned about what’s happening. You may have seen the other post about issues with editing, the answer to which was that it had become “corrupted”. Have a look at the slide with the shortcodes here –
http://www.prismcareernetworks.com/prism_wordpress/consultants/Notice that the first text layer, which was unchanged, now doesn’t show up at all. ???
I’m a little confused by your answer. The audio file is playing just fine, including in Chrome. The issue was the placement. Because I added it as the first layer of the slider it’s showing top left behind the slider content. I wanted to put it top right below the menu if this is possible. .
Today my struggle is putting an audio file on my site. I added it as a first layer on my slider and it’s fine, except for positioning. It’s on the left side behind the first dropdown. –
http://www.prismcareernetworks.com/prism_wordpress/If at all possible I would like it on the right hand side right below the main menu. I tried adding it everywhere but the page refused to load and I got an error from my host.
Not sure what you mean by the “front end”. I did save the slider, then the page, but when the slider runs all I see is the shortcode when the slide comes up.
If you scroll down to what should be the three text boxes side by side you will see only one box and then two scrunched together below. I tried every way you could imagine to line them up. After I saved what looked right and came back to edit they were all screwed up again.
Josue, I noticed you logged in a couple of days ago. Have you found what’s wrong here? I am hesitant to make more changes if this is not going to be sorted out.
I don’t know what marking this private means either. I can’t see any reply. ??
Devin, I directed this to Josue because he has an admin login. I am very concerned about the issues when trying to edit a page.
Wow! Something is seriously wrong with the theme or my files may be corrupt. I’m posting this for you because you will need to login and go to – http://www.prismcareernetworks.com/prism_wordpress/wp-admin/post.php?post=2826&action=edit&message=1
In the Editor the page it looks nothing like the up-dated page. If I move the three columns that show above each other in the editor to side by side everything below that is suddenly gone! If I update the page after putting them side by side they are suddenly above each other again.
Also I’m specifying a font color #000 for “alternate content” but the headers arent changing.
Also, when I add standard HTML code to the text area, for some unknown reason your theme screws it all up. It took me hours to do a simple font and background because after I save the HTML your theme deletes some of it, adds in extra <p></p> for no reason, and reformats the clean HTML code so it’s all messy.
None of the sliders are showing up on any other device, even after I forced the landscape mode.
This is all a disaster! I’ve invested a lot of time and money in this theme and it appears to be very unstable. What’s going wrong?
After hours and hours I finally have it working, with the exception of the “?rel=0” for the video, which appears to be universal to everyone as Google made some changes.
One issue I have that makes me crazy is the failure to read the enfold.css file. It seems like whenever I make any changes the enfold.css file does not apply. I have to delete the server file and reload my local file and then it is fine.
Cheers!
Copy of an email sent to George this morning –
Well, after about twenty hours of trying different things –
Refer to – http://www.prismcareernetworks.com/prism_wordpress/test-video-3/
<video autoplay loop>
<source src=”/prism_wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/background_03.mp4″ type=”video/mp4″>
</video>There are still some issues, dealing mostly with how the HTML does not appear to recognize standard code. After much research I found the video controls, all of which used <video controls XXX> but the slider does not recognize the word “controls”. Almost by accident I removed the word and it started working.
There are also size issues. I used a program called Video Convertor from Movavi (http://www.movavi.com/) to convert a Quick Time movie to an MP4, using the settings for size of 1280px x 720px. If I added this sizing to the LayerSlider HTML code it didn’t work. The only setting that worked was to remove the size, but it should accept the actual size so that the video is properly placed.
Next the standard controls to play or pause the video aren’t shown. Using “autoplay” starts the video immediately; however, this doesn’t solve the problem of how to start subsequent sliders on the same page. The way to do this is to use the code for a “play” button; however, this code doesn’t work either. I found numerous code examples to show a play button, like a YouTube video, but none of this HTML5 code works, which it should. This is the only way to be able to start subsequent sliders.
This feature of the LayerSlider to me Is critical and would make it the obvious slider of choice. It also adds dynamic content when a video background can be used or videos can be shown on individual slides. I also believe I read somewhere that the video would stop when text layers were added, but, as you can see from my example, the video continues to run, which is excellent.
Cheers!
Thanks, Devin. Yes, I appreciate that you aren’t the developer, but George has gone silent on me and I’m very frustrated to have spent so much time on this and I’m not getting anywhere.
I have no idea why those extra lines of code are there. My code was clean and I didn’t touch the code that inserting the media generated. Looks like just another bug maybe.
The slide that I am working on has layer one as the video and only a title on the next layer. Can’t get much simpler than that. No matter what I do it just keeps looking for the video even though it is there the second I add the code, so it’s not the path that’s wrong.
Hopefully George will respond. I posted on his support forum as well this morning. I also had a post another post that Josue responded to in which I gave him site credentials and he said he had the same problems and would investigate.
I don’t know what else to do but I will follow your suggestions.
Thanks!
Yes, I understand that you are not the developer of LayerSlider and I have been in touch with George on several issues. The reason I asked you in this case was your own use of the slider on your demo. I agree that it is “full-width” but in designing the slides there must be a pixel width so that the control arrows appear properly. I can only assume that my slides are too wide because the right arrow does not appear. That was my question.
Thanks. I am a little confused by your suggestion. I wanted to be able to delete the “Special Header” and just have the image. Your css seems to suggest making it even smaller. I did add the css but changed the width to 1240px and the slider is now full-width.
As I asked, possibly in another post, what should the width of the full-width slider be set at? My slider shows the left arrow but not the right, so I am assuming it is too wide. I’ll need to redo all the slides but at least I’ll have it showing properly.
As you know, Josue, I am struggling with some issues on this theme and I appreciate your help. Please feel free to just go ahead and make any changes you want and just let me know.
The major issue that has me on full stop on my design is the issues with video. I am not getting any real help from George, who seems baffled at the things that don’t work. Given how popular your theme is I am mystified as to why I am the only one having these problems. The video won’t play as a background to the slider. The video won’t play as a layer in the slider. These are both critical issues for my design.
I suggested using a video layer slide with the autoplay off so that I could have a number of sliders on a given page and the viewer could then click to play the slider when they got to that point on the page, but, for this to work, of course the video has to work. It’s right there in the theme to “add the html code for a video”, but it doesn’t work. This is really urgent because without this I am going to have to rethink using the Enfold theme, meaning all this work is wasted.
PLEASE have someone get in touch with George and sort this out as soon as possible.
Thanks!
We may be on to something that will make the LayerSlider much better. I have been emailing back and forth with George as well because he states “you can have as many LayerSliders as you want on the same page”. I then asked him if he intended to have all the sliders start at the same time then? He suggested I make the first slider autoplay and the rest turn that off. Still not what I wanted.
Okay, so if you login and go to the CANDIDATE-header slider and then go to Slide 7. Oh, and I solved part of the problem playing the video you see. I was using a convertor and selected PC MPEG-4, which for whatever reason doesn’t work. I then converted it again, selecting a different format (Samsung Galaxy I think) and it was fine; however, as you can see, the video is there on the slide layer and shows in the window above, but it won’t play when I run the page. I am also having trouble getting the position correct. I am now thinking that my full-width slider setting isn’t working either because you see only the left slider control and not the right. I think I have created my slide too big. Do you know what I mean? What size should a full width slider be based on when you design the slides?
So, assuming we can get video working, I am thinking the first slide would have a video layer with “controls”. This would then show the big “play” button in the middle. When viewers click this play button the slider would then start, which is what I want and I think others would want as well. Using the first layer as a video would then allow for other layers to come in on that slide. For me it would be something like letters flying in, “Get ready for your voyage of discovery!” then the rest of the slides would run.
Does that make any sense?
Thanks, and yes number 3 was referring to the right-hand text block area, but my question was how to move the columns closer together with css, i.e. padding-left:-200px;?
As for number 4 are you then saying that once I identify the css for a particular area, adding custom css will work?
