I just thought of another solution:

1. Install “Supersized” as a normal JavaScript Slideshow and call it from your WP header.

2. Write a function to make “Supersized” generate dynamic slides and not use statically coded/listed ones.

3. Make the Slideshow use your WP picture-upload-folder as a the location to pull the slideshow images.

This way you could just tie the JavaScript to your desktop theme and fully ignore it in your mobile one. You could deinstall the whole “WP Supersized” plugin.

This solution though lacks the ability to administrate the slideshow from within WordPress.

Has anyone pulled this trick yet?

Thanks, Arne

Thanks for your answer “UltraMarathonEER”! But as Heiko Mamerow points out, the large images will still be loaded and not displayed, which is absolutely mobile unfriendly.

An emergency solution but not really a clean one.

Hello Sefmi,

I can’t get this solution to work. Can you provide me with your exact code please. I need to figure this out!

Thank you!

Hello,

I had the same problem today and solved it by setting “Load jQuery” in the Portfolio Slideshow Pro settings in the “Slideshow Diagnostic” rider from “Force most recent jQuery” to “Use built-in WP jQuery”. That put it to work again.

I guess that jQuery got updated and is no longer compatible with “Portfolio Slideshow Pro”.

Cheers, Arne

Hello,

I feel a bit left alone on this topic!

I have the following lead to the problem: my theme makes essential use of jQuery to scroll and columnize the content. When I disable the scrolling script it doesn’t help. Disabling the colonizer crashes my whole theme so I can’t test that.

Again here is the problem: when I enable JavaScript handling of the subscription I get a blank page with just the form messages on the top. The subscription though does work! When I disable JavaScript I get the messages correctly inside the form BUT the page reloads before displaying the message which is not working for my design.

Is it possible that there is a conflict between the two jQuery calls in my website (columnizer + scrolling / MailChimp form handling)? How can I use just one jQuery call for both functions?

The site can be found here: https://www.storyfeed.de/newsletter

Thanks a lot! I really need help on this one!

Hi Nate,

I had to move the script to a different page since the main website is live now. You find the subscription form with the somehow disfunctional JavaScript here: https://www.storyfeed.de/newsletter.

What I see here is that it does display the messages inside the page and inside the form now but still reloads the page before doing so. Any idea why it does that?

Thank you!
Cheers, Arne

Hi Nate,

Thanks for your reply!

I tested the same settings in a different theme file and it worked without a problem.
I then looked into my problem installation again and there is not other plugin and work besides the MailChimp plugin.

I played around with the settings and now when I DEactivate the JavaScript option it kind of works but seems to switch to a different page for a moment before displaying the message in the form leading to the effect that my page scrolls to the very beginning where I don’t see the newsletter form anymore. Please have a look at it at the same location: https://www.storyfeed.de

I didn’t test the embedded form yet, will try that in a minute.

Thank you!
Cheers

Hello mc_nate,

thanks for your reply. I just put the newsletter back online here: https://www.storyfeed.de – scroll to the right until you see “newsletter”. You can subscribe to the newslist, it’s still in test mode. You see what happens then.

Thank you and all the best!
