Shortcode accepting some attributes – but not others (?!)

    Hi,

    This is a great plugin, and I used an earlier version of it on a couple of sites that I made a couple of years ago. Right now, I’m trying to get the most recent version of it up and running how I want, and I’m hitting a strange problem.

    I’m specifying various attributes in the shortcode, like this:

    [portfolio_slideshow autoplay=false loop=true size=thumbnail navpos=bottom pagerpos=disabled showtitles=true]

    However, the plugin is apparently only accepting some of these attributes, and not others, and I’m a bit mystified as to why this might be. With the ones above, it is not taking the autoplay, loop, and showtitles attributes, but it is accepting the size and navpos ones.

    When I view source on the page, I can see that the script does seem to be trying to pass these attribute values to the plugin on the page, but for some reason, they’re not working:

    <script>/* <![CDATA[ */ portfolio_slideshow.slideshows[800] = {"timeout":"3000","autoplay":"false","trans":"fade","loop":"true","speed":"400","nowrap":false}; /* ]]> */</script>

    I’ve been pulling my hair out for a couple of hours now trying to figure out what might be causing this problem, so if there are any suggestions for how to fix it, I’d be very grateful to hear them! All I want is a nice slideshow that doesn’t autoplay! ??

    Thanks.

    Hey @snthr,

    I’m unfortunately not able to reproduce this error on my local site –?can you share a link to where there’s an example of this on your site that I can check out in person? I’ll see if there’s anything I can spot in the console, a JavaScript error…

    I appreciate your use of this plugin for such a long time and for your patience with its overhauling in my hands as of late!

    Sincerely,
    George

    Hi George,

    Did you have a chance to take a look at this? It would be great to know if there’s anything causing the problem that could be easily fixed.

    Thanks!

    Hey @snthr,

    I took a look at your site and found that the autoplay feature did work.

    I can confirm that loop does not on your site, and nor does showtitles.

    For me, however, loop does work on my local site so I’ll have to do some digging on that.

    I have an update coming soon which should hopefully address the showtitles issue.

    Thank you!
    George
