AJAX conflict with v3.3.6 default settings

    I just updated Smart Slider 3.3.6 on a local copy of the site linked above (for the record, the problem was also reflected on the live site).

    Upon updating Smart Slider, the AJAX-loaded pagination below the news feed stopped loading. I toggled “Slider’s inline JavaScript” in the Framework Settings from the header to inline with the slider, and the problem went away.

    While I realize that some themes may cause conflicts, I’m rather surprised that this setting changed itself upon the update. Is this the new default? Should I expect this setting to restore itself to the header upon every update, requiring me to flip it back?

    Do let me know.

    Hi @wsp-kk

    The AJAX support now has an option which is disabled by default as most people don’t need it and it caused problems with certain plugins.

    You can enable the AJAX support at the Global settings: https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/213-general-settings
    just turn on “Render sliders as iframe in AJAX calls”.

    The slider’s AJAX support is not the problem; it’s the slider’s JS blocking the AJAX-loaded functions on the site.

    I tried setting the JS back into the header and turned on the AJAX support as you described, and the pagination promptly disappeared again. The AJAX support setting has no affect on it; only the JS location.

    Hi @wsp-kk

    Oops, I’m sorry, I misunderstood the problem.

    I checked the page again and tried the pagination but its working fine for me in both Chrome (68.0.3440.106) and Firefox (61.0.2). When I clicked on the second page, it added “?fwp_paged=2” to the URL and replaced the articles correctly (I assume, as they’ve changed). E.g. instead of “National Bike to School Day 2018 | Fienberg-Fisher K-8 Center” which is the last article on the first page, I saw “Kiddos Magazine’s Kiddo-Ween at Downtown Doral”.

    Dear Ramona:

    No worries. It’s working now because I toggled “Slider’s inline JavaScript,” as I initially explained.

    My post was primarily to explain what had happened, just in case a default setting had been changed in SS3, as I never experienced this issue prior to the SS3 update.

    Incidentally, what you describe is correct – the ?fwp_paged=2 is written by FacetWP, which generates the blog/article/event entries and the pagination.

    Hi Kurt ( @wsp-kk )

    Until Smart Slider 3.3 all JavaScript codes were loaded in the Head of the page. In 3.3 we moved them to be inline, hoping for better compatibility with certain themes, but we got several reports that 3rd party plugins messed up the JavaScript codes there. So we moved them back to the head and provided an option to make them inline. Maybe this is the change you experienced.

    I’m glad that inline works for you ??

    Ok! That makes sense now. This page was designed with 3.3, so the fix for the fix happened to conflict with the code on our site.

    That explains it all – thank you!
