I could not figure out what causes the problem yet. Since the DOM tree is constantly changing, while the image carousel is running, it is hard to debug and inspect the CSS properties.

I compared both, the old implementation with correct slider and the new version with broken slider, but could not find any differences in the CSS attributes.

Is there any public code repository for the MetaSlider plug-in, so I can check the latest commits and see, whether anything was changed that might have caused this issue? As stated before, I did not change any code of my page and the slider used to work fine, until I updated the MetaSlider plug-in.

How is an issue resolved, because no one else reported it and you haven’t heard back over the weekend?

It’s a local development environment.

Is there anything I can check in the source code?

Hey!

I cannot provide a page, unfortunately, but if you need any additional information about the slider setup, just let me know. Meanwhile, I don’t think it is a z-index issue, but rather related to the overflow property.

Kind regards,
Bernd

I don’t know, why is the image size important? Should be somewhere around 1600 x 900 px.

The width is set to 50% in your CSS code, but should be 100%.

If I set it manually, it looks good, but proper attributes should be set in the base theme already IMHO.

Did you check the Customizer? Slider and widgets are managed through the WordPress Customizer, once you have installed both the theme and the companion plug-in.

Just installed latest updates of Appointment theme and plug-in, but this issue still persists. Why has is not been fixed?

Background color of navbar is set in child theme (e.g. Appointment Green), but not in parent theme. This will not fix the issue for other child themes based on Appointment.

Furthermore, this just addresses this single issue. But there is a more general issue of CSS definitions not being applied properly, due to wrong order of file inclusion.

I installed latest update of Appointment + Appointment Green theme and companion plug-in, but this issue still isn’t fixed.

Width of carousel images is set to 50% in parent theme?

Thanks Steven, that fixed the search box and the comment form validation.

However, as a logged-in user I still see the entire comment form with input fields for name, email and web site. Usually, it only displays the textarea for the message when I’m logged in.

In comments.php this condition is used to check, whether the user is logged-in or not:

if ($user_ID) { ?>

I checked all files of the theme, but $user_ID is never set. Has this been a global variable that was removed in WordPress 5.5.?

It is not listed in the Codex:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Global_Variables

I searched all issues in Trac, but could not find any ticket that contains $user_ID in WP 5.5. There is only one result for WP 4.7. Was it set somewhere in the core up to WP 5.5?

I think, all I need to do, is replace it with get_current_user_id().

I totally understand that one should update plug-ins and themes regularly and I always did. But probably I’ll fix future issues myself, as long as I can. The theme is simple and as long as I know WHAT to fix, I’ll fix it.

This will only fix that particular problem. Due to the different order of CSS file inclusion, other styles might not be applied as expected, too! Maybe styles, that you and me do not even know of yet. So it is better, if you fix the file order in Appointment theme. Otherwise, I would have to fix ALL places were Bootstrap styles override the theme’s styles.

For obvious reasons, I am most certainly not going to send you my admin credentials.

It is not possible to create a child theme of a child theme. Since I based my web site on Appointment Green (which is a child theme already), I had to fork that theme and modified the code to make it comply with my custom needs. Your approach, moving functionality to a companion plug-in, then broke my site.

Unfortunately, you are checking for specific theme names in you plug-in, when including files. Adding my theme name at two specific if-checks in webriti-companion.php, is that all I need to fix?

This is, however, still not a good solution, because any future update of the plug-in will break my site again, unless I restore my custom theme name in the aforementioned file. Seems like, now, I have to fork both, the Appointment Green theme and your companion plug-in, to maintain my custom modifications.

I am using a custom child theme based on the Appointment Green theme.

The plugin does not work with the child theme.

That is why I’m asking, what modifications have been made to the Appointment Green theme in order to support the plugin.

Unfortunately, the plugin does not enable the Customizer options.

I use a child theme based on Appointment Green.

Is there any public code repository, where I can see which changes have been made to the theme specifically, when the plugin thing was introduced?

How to I make my child theme support the plugin, so the Customizer options will be available again?

@numeeja Can you provide any details on the planned release date for the next update?

When will this feature be available in production?

Thanks.

@apprimit Will this issue ever be addressed? Half a year passed since I reported the error and nothing has happened yet. Icon selection for menus is still broken.
