Whereas previously the first slider image loaded pretty much upon page load, now, instead of the slider frame, I simply get a horizontal black bar about 16px high. Then, when the full frame loads, it takes a long time to load the image, during which I see a circling loading icon over a cloudy screen within the slider, and when an image does load, after an inordinate lag considering the image size, it’s the second one, not the first slide (all of the images are the same size).

Lazy load and LQIP are currently off, but it was pretty much the same thing when they were on. The upshot is, the slider images don’t seem to be caching at all (although they did before I enabled quic.cloud). I intentionally made them NOT full screen so they WOULD load swiftly, as they are all linked to the sites they are screenshots of if anyone wants to takes a closer look.

I have played around with lazy load and LQIP settings on the HTML, Page Optimization and Media tabs in Litespeed cache, but this is my first time with it all, and there are a LOT of settings! I would very much appreciate any guidance that might narrow down a little where the problem is.

I just installed version 3.17.2 of the plug-in and it broke the Nivo slider that I was using. The images now have a white margin on the left and right side that overlaps with the frame that used to surround the slider.

Maybe some sort of z-index issue?

Kind regards,
Bernd

// Edit: Previous version was 3.17.0 and it used to work fine, so problem was either introduced on version 3.17.1 or 3.17.2.

First of all, you’ve got an amazing plugin!

Second, is lazy loading supported? I have a slider with several images, but would like the page to show up as soon as the first image finishes loading, instead of having to wait for all of them.

Is there any hidden feature that maybe I’m not aware of?

I have temporarily switched to Slider by Nivo, which does the job partly (the whole slider shows after page load, which improves page load times, but it’s not entirely great as it breaks the page design for the first couple seconds), but your SEO seems to be better, so I might switch back.

Thank you very much!

If Weaveappas ever decides to redo this Lightbox plugin with Topbox or another script that works well I’ll be happy to go back to using it, but for right now I have to warn people to stay away from this plugin.

I also tested out a lot of other WP Lightbox plugins but none of them had all the features that this one/Nivo has, or they are also using Nivo which is outdated right now.
The dFactory plugin is not as good either and also hardly has any support.
Really hope subhansanjaya will pick up working on this one again.

I have tried different Effect settings, different Image Crop setting, and have deleted, replaced and rearranged the images, but nothing works.

Slider by Nivo – Responsive Image Slider
Nivo Slider is The Most Popular And Easiest to Use WordPress Slider Plugin.

Version 2.3.0 | By ThemeIsle

——————————–

Nice, simple, basic slider fits the ticket… BUT

the only place that I see Nivo Slider is on PC Desktop (via Chrome, FireFox)

I have an LG phone, no slider
I have an iPad 6th Gen, no slider
I have called friend, Apple (iMac) nothing

Can someone kindly help us out and tell us the magic-secret?
CSS issue?

Another issue I have with your integration of Nivo is that I have no control over the captions in terms of font weight and so on.

Related issue is with the positioning of the captions vis-à-vis the positioning of the site identity elements such as logo, title and tagline. One could argue that having the caption on top of the slide would detract from site identity information which is right now at the bottom of the same slide.

In other words I’d like to be able to position the site identity elements above the slide, not just left, right and center. By the same token it would be nice if I could have a choice to position the caption below the image.

What do you think?
Regards
Christopher

Is it possible to make the captions fade in and out just like the images? If so, how?

I am using the Nivo Slider with the Fade effect.

Notes:

I used CSS to position the caption on top of the image and style the fonts.

Our client did not like how the image first faded in then the caption suddenly appeared so we set the Animation speed to 100 to make the effect is not as noticeable. If we can fade in the caption the Animation speed would be increased.

Thanks,

I am wondering how I can dynamically change the link on a slide.

I am looking at the following page, to see if it is possible
https://www.metaslider.com/documentation/metaslider_type_slider_anchor_attributes/

I am using a Nivo slider.

add_filter( ‘metaslider_nivo_slider_anchor_attributes’, ‘metaslider_change_lookup_link’, 10, 4);
function metaslider_change_lookup_link ($attributes, $slide, $slider_id) {
//Change the lookup link on slide 5286 to be dynamic
if ($slide->ID == 5286) {
//Get member type info
$member_type = xprofile_get_field_data(‘Member Type’,bp_loggedin_user_id());
If ($member_type == ‘A’ ){
Set link here to match this type
} else {
Set a different link
}

}
return $attributes;
}
