yes. i did purchase the plugin separately because i could not wait and my client was happy to pay just 17$ to have this issue resolved. we have a major relaunch this week and i had to prepare the new sliders in a timely manner.

so what i did:
– purchased and downloaded layer slider at theme forest
– uploaded, installed and activated it
and voila: everything worked fine.

of course you can just wait until kriesl updates the theme because they usually update all 3.th party plugins as well. maybe the support members here can tell you when the update is ready. since there was no ETA on when this will happen i just did it on my own. 17$ is usually no issue but moving deadlines or wasting time waiting is (at least for me).

good luck,
Andreas S.

Ismael: please don’t send us on a wild goose chase because some of us already wrote about the fact that it worked a few days ago and suddenly it stopped working around the time wp4.0 hit. This basically rules out any relation to the php version because it was already running and we did not change our PHP Version. Also the new layer slider 5.3 Update does fix the problem which strongly indicates this problem is between wp4.0 and the “older” layer slider version in the enfold package and not the users environment.

Thanks,
Andreas

Could not wait and bought Layer Slider by itself. New Version 5.3.0 seems to work at first glance !

I have the same problem: Layer Slider does not show any elements in the preview area anymore.
If you start to edit new (or existing) slides you have 3 sections: “Slide Options”, “Preview” and “Layers”. The “Preview” area, where you usually see all your added layer elements so you can drag and drop them around for positioning is blank/white now. This makes Layer Slider useless and breaks the theme completely.

It may be related to the wordpress update because a few days ago it was still working.

For me this is a urgent issue because i have to prepare 4-5 banners for a website relaunch of a client (scheduled early next week).

Thank you,
Andreas
