Thanks Devlin,
<P>You are correct. It is impossible to find a problem if it cannot be reproduced.</P>
From another Forum I got this solution to what sounds like the same problem I had:<br />
“Let’s suppose that your slideshow is located in ID = top-a. Then, the only thing to do is to add the following line of code right before the closing body tag (i.e. </body>) in your template.php file:”<script>jQuery(window).bind(“load”, function(){jQuery(‘#top-a > div > .module’).removeAttr(‘style’);jQuery(window).resize();jQuery(‘#top-a > div > .module’).attr(‘style’,’min-height:1px;’);});</script>
But in Enfold I can’t see how to try this out because I used the smart AVIA Layout Builder so I think there is no place to edit the page HTML. Maybe the jscript will mean something to you though?
(For me I solved the problem by changing to a different Slideshow plugin that works fine.)
Regards
ChrisEdit the footer.php file in the website wp-content\themes\enfold folder.
Or better, use the enfold-child theme; copy the footer.php file to the child theme and edit it in the child theme. This way your change will not get overwritten by future theme updates.
Just to advise: As client wants to look at site I have replaced the Easy Slider with a different slider. Therefore it is no longer possible to visit the website to see the problem.
The problem is quite random. Sometimes the Easy Slider works first time. Sometimes just a blank space until I visit another page and return to the slider page. Have got the same “random” results on 3 different computers.
My guess (feel free to scoff … I am not THAT technical :-)
is some sort of timing issue with the jscript. ???More information.
When I say that there is just a blank space where the slider should be, if I move the mouse there the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons and the “dots” at the bottom of the slider do appear. So the slider IS there, but no images are shown.Have done some more tests with my computers and a friend in another location on their computer. For both of us, if we close browser and then open it again, and go to the home page of the website, the slider DOES NOT APPEAR (just a blank area on the page). If we then move to another page and back, the sliders works OK.
But if we repeat the above, the same happens. The slider does not work first time we visit the page. If we see this behaviour then at least some visitors to the site will see this. Using FireFox and IE9.
Any suggestions on what might be the cause??
Chris
PS: I found lots of other people (different Theme producer) with similar problem and suggestions for fix.

I will try these out.Thank you for very quick reply.
MAYBE the problem only happens once, when website updated, or when page edited. And after that it is OK. In which case, not a problem. :-)
I’ve had the problem several times (using Firefox) both on local server and on live website. And a user with IE9 tells me that got problem first time also. But each time it MAYBE just after page edited or website uploaded to live. I will do some tests.
Thank you.
Support gave me a work-around that solves my particular requirement of the breadcrumb “problems”, see post #161743
But from what I’ve read in this Forum (eg. search breadcrumbs) I think support will give you an answer like: That’s the way WP works, for technical reasons. To do exactly what you want is beyond the features of this theme. You might consider separate plugin just to handle breadcrumbs.
I have several different portfolio Categories, and doing the same for all of them I will end up with lots of small files in the theme folder. Just for neatness, is there an easy way to combine these various redirects into one file?
Regards
ChrisI had a quick look at your site and see you have similar problem as me (see my recent question about breadcrumbs).
And clicking on the previous link in a breadcrumb takes you to a blank page (with title and footer).
Search this Forum for “breadcrumb” and the messages do not suggest an easy solution. :-(
