No Title or Description on Slider

Hi Smeaton,

Thanks for using EasyRotator for WordPress. Please double-check that you’ve selected a layout template in the Layout/Presentation section that includes a title/description display area. If you continue to experience trouble, please share the URL of your page.

Sincerely,

Hi, Thanks for the reply,

Yes the layout template should be displaying a title and a description.
This is being tested on a dummy page which can be seen at: https://54.221.205.225/

Could you please advise how to display title and description? The plugin is perfect otherwise! If I can figure this problem out I definitely want to invest in the Pro features.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

The problem seems to relate to your theme automatically removing empty <p> tags before they can be filled. To solve this, edit the layout source code (see: https://www.dwuser.com/support/easyrotator/kb/customize-layout/ ) and note these two lines:

<p class="erimgMain_title" style="padding: 0; margin: 0 0 3px 0; font-weight: bold;"></p>
<p class="erimgMain_desc" style="padding: 0 0 10px 0; margin: 0;"></p>

Add   within each tag like this:

<p class="erimgMain_title" style="padding: 0; margin: 0 0 3px 0; font-weight: bold;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="erimgMain_desc" style="padding: 0 0 10px 0; margin: 0;">&nbsp;</p>

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, it still does not work after adding ‘ ‘ the two lines like below:

<p class="erimgMain_title" style="padding: 0; margin: 0 0 3px 0; font-weight: bold;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="erimgMain_desc" style="padding: 0 0 10px 0; margin: 0;">&nbsp;</p>

Please could you advise? When I view the html source for the slider, I can see that the title and description are being passed, but it just does not show on the webpage…

Hi,

I just checked the outputted code and it appears to currently be:

<p class="erimgMain_title" style="padding: 0; margin: 0 0 3px 0; font-weight: bold;"&nbsp; !important</p>
<p class="erimgMain_desc" style="padding: 0 0 10px 0; margin: 0;"&nbsp; !important</p>

Note that this is corrupted HTML. Is this what you see in the Layout Source dialog, or is there a script on your site that’s modifying the outputted HTML?

Sincerely,
Drew O’Neill

Hi Drew,
No it’s not a script, I added the !important simply as a test, after the ‘ ‘ fix did not work – this is now removed.

As you’ll be able to see, it now reads:

<p class="erimgMain_title" style="padding: 0; margin: 0 0 3px 0; font-weight: bold;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="erimgMain_desc" style="padding: 0 0 10px 0; margin: 0;">&nbsp;</p>

Any more ideas?

Regards,

Smeaton

Here’s what I’m still seeing on the live code: https://i.imgur.com/ITtwRyK.jpg

Before any edits where made, there was nothing between the opening tag and the closing tag. If adding   isn’t working, add some placeholder text (e.g. a period or some other character).
