Hi Basilis, sure, credentials to log into the staging site are in the private content. Thanks!

Thanks much! Perfect timing as I am just working on this now.
Doing that, how do you then superimpose text over the video? I would like to include a banner like in the New York Times example.

Thanks!

I should add that these pages are not hosted on my wordpress site, but instead indexed to it with my domain url. This is all done through a plugin called Optima Express. Thanks

Thanks so much!!

Actually, the problem still exists on the above link even without going back in revisions….

The problem is that the youtube video link / thumbnail does not display on mobile, allowing a mobile user to click the link or the thumbnail and see the Youtube video.

Please go to the above link on your mobile device and all you see is blank space, not an option to click to view the youtube video.

Is this a bug or a feature request or user error?

Thanks

Hi Vinay,
Thank you for your response.

Now this morning Enfold’s behavior has changed — is it possible some coding change happened over the evening?

This is the page I created for you to see the “red arrow” but now if there’s no background image displayed, nothing is shown.

What I would like it to do is give the mobile user the option of watching the Youtube video.How do I do that?

Thanks
Rob

This is a sample page illustrating the issue with color background and mobile video. If you select a youtube video as a background and don’t specify an image background, the mobile browser displays a still photo of the video with a red “play” icon but the icon does NOT play the Youtube video.

Many thanks!!!!!!

I went over into the staging environment and played around… I created a blog roll in Avia, and tried to add banner text on top with both a text box and a special box… how do I get intro text on top of the blog?

Here is a photo of my attempt, which did not work: imgur pic

The text doesn’t show… it just shows the blog roll….thanks

Hi Vinay,
I would like to add some sort of welcome to the blog page… with my old theme, I had the welcome be the sticky post.

Since this theme does not display the sticky post, is there another way to add a photo and a welcome message to the blog page?

Please note that the staging site is still up but we have pushed it into the production site so any changes there won’t take effect.

If you can tell us what to do and how to do it, I can handle it.

Thanks so much!!!

Here is the link to the demo team page

i am referring to the full width banner about halfway down the page with “The Office” as a headline… and as you scroll, the photo contained in that banner also scrolls inside the box. The effect is like looking through a window at a picture…and as your scroll the window, you see different parts of the picture.

It is a cool effect.

I actually see many cool effects on the demo pages I would love to replicate on my site… how can I see those demo pages layouts without importing them? My understanding is if I import them it breaks all my customization on my live site.

Thanks!!!

Thanks… I tried LayerSlider but the mobile version looked terrible (picture cropped, appeared vertically vs horizontally) so I went back to my original slider which at least looks good on mobile and desktop, just is a little wider than I would like. Seems like this would be so easy to set / fix?

Thanks… I tried that but it’s still the same issue. The slider is huge — takes up the whole screen below the header. I just want a strip slider, not the whole screen…..

Thanks Vinay!

I am trying to limit the number of plugins I use to reduce conflicts and maintain site speed but I’ll look at that one.

Is there a way to put some welcome text / photo at the top of the blog page? That’s what I really want to do, and with a different theme the way to do that was to use a sticky post which that theme supported. Since this theme does not, is there a different way to do this?

Thanks again!! (and thanks for the work on the header… I didn’t want to waste your time with all the customization that I began to realize we were going to need once Thomas saw it and began saying “can we….”)

Thanks
Rob
