Great question. I’ll try to find some time to update it to the latest version of Vegas. I don’t know that there are too many maintainance/compatibility updates to make.

I am batman! I’m glad you figured it out. ??

Hey, sorry I don’t check this forum as regularly as I used to. I actually did create the plugin and got really close to releasing it but I used an admin framework to do it and the plugin ended up being massive in size, so large infact that you couldn’t upload it through the plugin uploader on most shared hosts so I lost motivation at that point. I can dig around if you would like to test it out and see if it’ll work for your needs but it’s still a bit buggy and I haven’t tested in months.

It’s superman.

It’s been a while since I messed with them but I believe it’s just CSS. If I remember correctly it’s a div where the top and left or right sides have white borders and then the div is tilted one way or the other. It’s very possible to swap them for images or what have you out but you’ll have to be willing to dig into some code.

Honestly, I got stuck at some point and got a new job and haven’t touched it since. I’m just too busy to put time into something that may not be successful. I wish that wasn’t the case but for now it’s the truth.

Well I mean… that would be the SMART thing to do…

… I’ll see about adding that later ??

Now that I’m thinking about it, I swear I set a default value for the shortcode parameter. I’ll take a look at it later. You’re welcome and I’m sorry I didn’t get to this sooner, I forget these support forums exist sometimes and it doesn’t send me an email when a new topic is created unfortunately. :/

There’s not an option for that in this plugin, sorry for the inconvenience!

Sorry for the delay man! These forums slipped my mind for a bit.

<script>
    jQuery( function() {
    jQuery.vegas('slideshow', {
    delay:4000,
    backgrounds:[{ src:'https://wordpress-test.drupalego.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/1920x1080sample3.jpg', fade:delay=},{ src:'https://wordpress-test.drupalego.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/1920x1080sample1.jpg', fade:delay=},{ src:'https://wordpress-test.drupalego.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/1920x1080sample2.jpg', fade:delay=},]
}) });
</script>

From the above, it’s showing us there that the fade parameter isn’t being set. I’d like to see the shortcode you’re trying to use in your page if you’re still looking for a fix.

I am creating a version with these features, although it will be a paid version. If you want to beta test it for me though, I’ll give you a free copy. The plugin is pretty much finished, I’m just working on the marketing material and a few cosmetic fixes. Shoot me an email. (it’s my username here on www.ads-software.com @gmail.com)

Sorry for the late reply Bernhard! This plugin was not affected and is safe to use as far as I’m aware of. Now I haven’t had experts run through my code and audit the plugin, no. Although from my understanding from these couple of different vulnerabilities, my plugin wasn’t affected by any of them. That probably has to do with how simple I try to keep my plugins.

No… not currently but I’m sure you could edit it to do that. Probably wouldn’t be too difficult, but you’d have to code it on your own since it’s not really in the scope of this project at this time.

Sounds great! Have a good one! ??

Hey kmarat! Sorry I didn’t get back to you earlier. That is possible but it would require you to add/edit a bit of code. Now, I’m going to be releasing a premium version of this plugin within probably the next month or so that will have this option built in. If you’d like to be alerted when I release the plugin you can subscribe to my mailing list over at wp-vegas.com

If you want to try your hand at editing some code to get this done right away what you’ll want to do is edit your header.php (just as a warning if you’re not familiar with PHP or editing code at all you may want to hire a developer to do this for you because if it’s done wrong it can break your whole website)

In your header.php you’ll want to add this code

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying front page pages.
 *
 */
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[vegas id="5" fade="4000" delay="5000"]' ) ?>

This is obviously just an example and you’ll need to change out the id to the id of your slideshow and your header.php will look a little bit different. My point being that you’ll throw in the do_shortcode under your theme’s get_header()

Let me know if you need anything else or want me to clarify anything for you!

I’ll be releasing a premium version of WP Vegas here within the next month or so which will allow you to assign align and valign, you’ll even be able to set the valign and align of each individual slide if you like. If you’d like, you can subscribe to my mailing list and I’ll let you know right when I release it. https://wp-vegas.com

To answer your question though, no this version of WP Vegas does not have that ability.

I hate to say it but the arrows dropping down when you minimize the content is more of a theme issue than a plugin issue. I tried some css on it that I thought might work and I couldn’t get the arrows to stay. So you can contact the theme developer if you want but I’m not sure they’d be able to help you much either…

There is not a default size that works with all screens since there are so many different sizes of screens. It is best to use larger images though since vegas will automatically scale downwards to smaller screen sizes.
