Image issues

Follow-up. I added my image above the Header and everything was fine. The content below was full-width as I wanted. I then deleted the Header because I just wanted my image as the page header, but now the entire page has adopted the 1340px I don’t want and doesn’t work. I’ve searched and searched for where the CSS is for the main_content but could not find anything. Is there a simple way to insert a header image without the color content assuming a position in the header image?

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!

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!

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!

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!

Are you saying to put the enfold.css in custom.css?

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?

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.

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. ??

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.

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.
