Oh i forgot: If You can test, I would like to remove fix_ie89() function and kindly ask You to check again, as I am not sure, if this IETester is really working, like the real-IEs do.

Thanks.

Good morning,

actually I updated just my template to use the latest jQuery version by putting this into my templates function.php (as explained on various blogs):

if ( ! function_exists( 'jq_latest' ) ):
function jq_latest() {
	if ( ! is_admin() ) {
		wp_deregister_script('jquery');
		wp_register_script('jquery', 'https://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js', false, 'lastest');
	}
}
endif;
add_action( 'wp_head', jq_latest() );

After that I lend a WinXP laptop from a friend, installed IETester and got it working in IE7, while the IETester in IE8 and IE9 did not run the plugin correctly, but popupped some errors in prototype.js and then in thethe-image-slider.js.

Continued searching for info about templates visual crashing in IE8 and added the following to my functions.php:

if ( ! function_exists( 'fix_ie89' ) ) :
function fix_ie89() {if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"MSIE 8") || strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"MSIE 9") ) {header("X-UA-Compatible: IE=7");}}
endif;
add_action('send_headers','fix_ie89');

Restarted IETester and now it seems to work correctly from IE7 to IE9.

Ash: Are You able to check this webpage in real IE7, 8, 9 and feedback to me?

Thank You very much!

Sorry, I was way too fast..

When doing the inserts via SQL (phpmyadmin or similar) You have to remove ‘ID’ from any line and the corresponding value.

INSERT INTO wp_posts (ID, post_author, …) VALUE (6, ‘Me’, …)

In this case remove ‘ID’, and 6, .

When adding them, try to remove the primary var and value from any line.

Well, the most simple thing would be to create categories, call them the way Your “multiple pages” are, and link the categories in a menu.

In a post select the category You want the post to be displayed and You’re done.

SOLUTION! My first intention was right: It’s about the JS, in this case it is a problem with the jQuery version (1.6.1.) used in WordPress 3.2.1.

Linking manually to the latest jQuery release (1.6.4.) on googleapis the problem is gone and everything is working fine.

Now I have another question, as WordPress is providing the link to the 1.6.1. script: Where can I change that link or better how can I update the “build in” release of jQuery in WordPress?

Thanks a lot!

@thethefly:

Thanks for coming back on this here. May You please check this link in IE8? As You know better about Your code, do You have an idea, why any captions turn white after fade-in ends, except for the inital slide?

Your plugin is the best I found, but I can’t use it, if this can’t be fixed by now.

Thank You very very much!

Well, after some time of editing, I come to the conclusion, that I have to keep on searching for another plugin.

NivoSlider4WP is not capable of displaying HTML inside the caption, without hacking the JS/JQuery, allthough there is a css-class called .nivo-html-caption. This class is only stated in the css but nowhere else called (neither in any php nor js).

Actually the way the caption-text is transferred is strange. The text is set as “title” and “alt” attribut of each image and brought into position via JS. While my own h3-tag stays and is beeing displayed, my p-tag dissapears.

OK, now I am fine with it. I guess it was about the option when to load the required JS. I selected footer, to make the rest and more important things of the side load faster.

Actually I chose 80% JPG quality, but the images don’t look what I exptect them to.

Now lets see, if it supports HTML in the caption and if I can get the caption to the right hand side via CSS.

Thank You!

See example here

Ok, I see its working. Got to give it another try. Uploaded one slide only. All looked good, it appeared in the backend and was set active. Was I wrong putting HTML in the caption area? I disabled nav arrows, but selected this kind of dot nav.

Ash, thanks a lot. Just tried this one, but for me it doesnt work on Firefox 6 on Mac. It does not even load the first slide, but keeps on spinning the wheel on and on. ??

Gotta search further.

Dear Ash,

would You mind providing the exact link to the Nivo Slider, You are using?

I searched WP Plugins and got about 4 different Plugins, all called Nivo Slider …

Thank You very much.

One more remark:

When the initial/ first slide has loaded, everything is OK – the caption is not switching to white.

As soon as the slide changes for the first time, any following slide caption turns white after fadein is done.

Same issue here. I can test and confirm the same problem for IE8 and urgently need a solution or workaround.

It seems to be an issue with the JS?

Thanks for any supportive information!
