Tagged: LayerSlider, multisite
Hello, kriesi-Team!
I have some issues with LayerSliderWP on a Multisite WordPress installation.
What i’ve done:
First i’ve created one site.
After that i’ve created 2 copies of this with MultilingualPress Pro Plugin from inpsyde (marketpress.com). Screenshot: http://goo.gl/ulCyDa
After the copies were created, LayerSlider WP doesn’t get sliders the origin site had. Okay, not a problem: i’ve exported Sliders and imported them into other 2 sites.
Here are the screenshots:
Site 1: http://goo.gl/YADLDk
Site 2: http://goo.gl/FGaIuK
Site 3: http://goo.gl/y7RH03
Each site has unique layerslider id’s.
For example if i assign “(DE) Startseite (All-in-One)Slider” to Frontpage of Site 1 (with Avia Layout Builder – like this http://goo.gl/GrddBs), and after that i assign “(CN) Startseite (All-in-One)Slider” to Frontpage of Site 3 (like this http://goo.gl/gPo5WB). If i then revisit Frontpage of Site 1, i get this error: “[LayerSliderWP] Slider not found”.
In other word i don’t have a possibility to use more as 3 slider’s and i need 9 of them – for each Site 3 Sliders.
Can you please help me get rid off it?
P.S. i think it’s happening because the Layerslider isn’t Multisite-ready. Here i found an interesting article: http://marketpress.com/2013/how-to-update-custom-fields-in-a-multi-site/, which maybe can help you to change code of LayerSlider.
Hi w3wision!
Afaik the new LayerSlider plugin update (version 5.0) takes care of the issue. We’ll release a theme update with the new slider version but we first need to test all theme features/options, etc. with the new 5.0 version and I can’t give you an ETA yet. You can try to copy the Layerslider plugin folder from /wp-content/themes/enfold/config-layerslider/LayerSlider to the plugins folder and then activate the plugin for the entire network. I’m not sure if LayerSlider 4.x already supports the network activation but it’s worth a try. LayerSlider 5 should definitely support it (according to the plugin author).
Best regards,
Peter
