yikes…a month and no fix. Getting serious (I’ve got some quotes that are getting veeerry long on the page and could desperately use some pagination).

Strangely when I installed the Advanced Custom Fields plugin also by the Elliot Condon it corrected the problem. This is not really a fix. What I’ve deduced, although I can’t find an official announcement, is that Custom Field Matrix is no longer being supported by Elliot. I recommend ceasing to use this plugin and migrating over to Advanced Custom Fields. It’s got a great eco-system which includes very useful paid add-ons. It’s too bad because there’s some things I really like about Custom Field Matrix. Elliot appears to have taken what was good about CFM and migrated these to premium features in ACF (things like the Repeater).

In short, unless you’re a hardcore developer and are going to reinvigorate this plugin and keep it alive I recommend staying away. It will break your heart as it’s quite good…but it hasn’t been maintained in a year and it’s starting to show.

ah, you beat me to this one. I also get the exact same pagination error. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Did you ever get this resolved? I can’t find any documentation on this plugin which is odd because it’s quite good. A simple if true statement doesn’t want to work…

I’ve found that you really need to set the thumbnail size in the media settings in the dashboard to get a hard crop. Wish I could find a function to override but so far no luck.

Wait…I think there may just be something wrong with How I’ve got CPTs setup

I did but it was pretty much just CSS positioning. The client ended up setting featured images for all posts as well so it kind of worked itself out.

Awesome!
I just made a small recommendation/request in the Flex Slider plugin forum fyi…let me know if that’s something you’d be open to building into the plugin:

Bill,
That fixed the transitions! It’s thrown my navigation buttons totally in the wrong position though: https://www.trasaterra.com/demos/gem/2011/09/22/rotate-test/

Any idea what threw it off?

thanks you guys!

I picked up on that. And I did try turning off the flex slider plugin and noticed that the fade transition was much smoother. Unfortunately I definitely need the Flex slider as I’m trying to do a flexible grid site with slider. I suppose I’ll have to download the Flex js demo and see if the fade transition issue is on their end. Thanks for your help Chris! I’ll report back in a bit.

Hi Chris,
I’ve put this up in a testing site so you can take a look. I”m still getting the unpleasant flicker here too: https://www.trasaterra.com/demos/gem/2011/09/22/rotate-test/

I’m using OSX Lion and I get the flicker problem in both Firefox 6 and in Chrome. However, your Taj Mahal example behaves great.

Thanks Chris,
I’m working in Mamp right now and don’t have the time at the moment to setup up live.
I’m on the front-end dev side but my JS is not great but I’m not afraid to tinker.
Could you tell me where exactly I need to put this new bit of javascript to test? Header.php?

Appreciate it. I forgot to mention that the reason I’m using WP Rotator is because of the Flex Slider plugin. Seems to be the only slider I can find that will work with a flexible grid. Maybe the Flix Slider is what’s causing the flickering…

Hey boogah,
I’ve tried to do what you said. Not sure if it just takes a lot longer than 5-10 mins for the upgrade to actually go through. But Duplicator still only sees the old PHP version and no ZipArchive.
