Precognition – Using image titles as navigation

Hi @timjfowler

It’s probably not going to work how you want given the way the theme is designed.

The links work but are covered by the container. One way to change it is to edit the container height (which is cutting them off)

.twentyseventeen-front-page.has-header-image .custom-header-media {
  height: auto !important;
}

But then you will have issues with the footer jumping up. Basically you will have to mess with the theme styling until you get it working how you like.

Thanks @kbat82, that helped a lot! Modifying the theme is how I got here, so I expect to do more.

On a related note:
What is the cleanest way to remove the “Home” link in the Precognition “title” navigation?

I’m not entirely sure why that home button appears there. Does it also show in the preview area on the MetaSlider settings page?

I’ll mark this as resolved since the original issue is fixed, but feel free to replay as needed.

There are only 3 slides in this slideshow, but when I click “Preview” at the top of the page there is a 4th button to the far right titled “3” with no corresponding slide. When I view the slideshow live on the website the far right button is titled “Home” and also does not have a corresponding slide. This 4th “Home” button links to https://domain.com/#

Hi,

Did the URL change? When I visit again it goes to a GoDaddy landing page.

There was a hiccup with a domain renewal. The site is back up and the link is good.

Hi,

This happens in the preview from the MetaSlider settings page as well? I’m not sure what is causing this. If you switch to a different theme do you see a similar issue? For example, you would see 4 dots instead of three.

Can you switch your WordPress theme to a default theme and see if there is a difference? Also disable all other plugins.

Yes, the extra title link displays on the Preview page while using the “Precognition” theme.

I disabled all plugins except for Meta Slider and saw no changes.

But, when I switch to either the Meta Slider “Cubic” or “Outline” themes there are only 3 slides (without the extra “Home” link) in both the Preview screen and on the live website!

I have the website back on the “Precognition” theme now.

Hi,

Can you switch your WordPress theme to a default theme?

I’ve switched the WP theme to “Twenty Seventeen” (the parent for my custom sub theme) and created a new page to display the slideshow [ https://msfnew.santafedining.us/slideshow/ ].

On the Slideshow page the slideshow displays with 3 links. But, the MetaSlider Preview page still shows the extra, fourth link.

Hi,

I can still see it on this page too, but it’s including the title of the page instead of always being home. What does it say on the preview screen in the settings? Can you send a screenshot of it?

Does this show you what you need to see?

Hi @timjfowler

That does help but I can’t reproduce it. There must be some custom code or a plugin that is somehow in conflict.

I see you have a plugin called menu-icons? Disabling that didn’t change anything?

Is it possible you have some MU Plugins that are active? You can find those here:

I’ve disabled all the plugins I can and am seeing no changes. Disabling the menu-icons plugin has no apparent effect on the MetaSlider Preview.

I do have one Must Use plugin: installatron_hide_status_test.php that I can’t disable.

Hi @timjfowler

Can you share what’s in the mu-plugin? Or maybe just disable it temporarily?

The only other option is to reinstall WordPress and MetaSlider to make sure the code was installed correctly.
