The developer discovered it was my custom CSS code that was messing up the menu. That was very understandable, since I only know enough CSS (and PHP) to be dangerous.

All is well now with this fine theme.

WordPress 3.5 seems to have killed all responsive sliders. I hope I’m wrong about that, or I hope some of the developers will find a fix.

BTW, the site where I’m experimenting is The Web Doctor.

Well, this morning 1.3 is working just fine. Maybe caching somewhere on the WWW was preventing me from seeing it yesterday.

It’s not clear from your pricing if $20 gets you permanent use of the plugin or just one year’s worth.

I updated the plugin to 1.3, but the slider is still stuck displaying only the first slide.

Great news, Thomas! Thanks for the fast response.

It’s usually practice to wait for x.1 of anything, but I slipped up this time.

Lane

Thanks, I understand now. I spent some time looking at your code today in hopes of finding a solution. But as you indicate, the problem isn’t in your code.

Fred, I’ve updated to 1.1.2, but my test event is still not showing in the widget at https://www.learninglane.net/

Since a number of my sites are made for others, I don’t like adding yet another thing for them to remember to do when they make a post.

For a site where comments are not wanted, it’s not enough to change the settings in the Discussion menu. That gives you just the ugly “Comments are close” message under every post. I find I need to create a child theme in which the PHP code for commenting is edited out of index.php, single.php, and page.php.

I confess I sometimes have to do a bit of experimenting to get it just right. ??

Yes, Darren, I think it’s all good. I’ll post my latest version of the file at https://www.drlanelester.com/responsive-slider.txt

Hal, I didn’t see your last until I posted mine.

I obviously don’t understand PHP in this case, because I would think the $id = 0 would supply 0 as the value of $id to $meta_value. Evidently it doesn’t, because the plugin is working and displaying the two sliders with just four slides each.

OK, Hal, I found it. The parameter passed to the function was missing:
function responsive_slider($id = 0) {

I think the plugin is working perfectly now.

@alchymyth

What Hal caught was the cause of the excess space below the slider. That’s what the CSS change fixes, not the subject of this thread, which is a plugin problem… and which your changed code fixes.

I’m not the OP, so I can’t mark it as resolved.

Wow, Hal! That did the trick, all right. I changed the child theme to include:
li { margin-bottom: 0!important; }

I’m really out of my league on this responsive stuff. I would never have thought a list item definition (li) would have that effect.

BTW, I just noticed the slider is displaying all eight slides, both the four for ID=1 and the four for ID=2 when I have in that post just this shortcode:

[responsive_slider id=2]

I notice the first command in that function is lacking a couple of assignments:
'meta_key' => '_slider_id', 'meta_value' => $id
but adding them in didn’t solve the problem. There must be something else that’s cause the function to ignore the slide ID.

Terrific! It’s working now.

There is the matter of the huge amount of blank space below the slider. It looks like about 200 px, based on the space between the next two posts. I would suspect it’s something in the plugin’s CSS, but I didn’t see anything that seemed like it would reserve that much space.

I have the plugin set to the exact size of the images: 510 x 255.
