Aldert Vaandering

I have been traveling for the past six weeks so I don’t have a lot of time to spend on development. Regardless I took a look at the website and the slider seems to be working just fine. Perhaps you’ve already solved the issue?

Thank you very much for the bug report AND added solution! Right now I’m traveling, but as soon as I find the time to push an update I will.

Again, many thanks!

From looking at what you’re doing you’re wrapping every slice with the link. If you want to have the actual images have a rel of “lightbox” you should instead alter ngg-nivoslider-widget.php around line 222.

if ( $imageAltText != ''
						&& preg_match( '%\A/|\Ahttps://|\Aftp://|\Amailto:%', $imageAltText ) ) {
					$use_url = true;
					$output .= "<a href=\"" . esc_attr( $imageAltText ) . "\" target=\"_blank\">";
				} elseif ( $imageDescription != ''
						&& preg_match( '%\A/|\Ahttps://|\Aftp://|\Amailto:%', $imageDescription ) ) {
					$use_url = true;
					$output .= "<a href=\"" . esc_attr( $imageDescription ) . "\" target=\"_blank\">";
				}

Alter this to always add an a href with a rel=”lightbox”. Like this for example (replacing the code shown above [line 222-230]):

$output .= "<a href=\"" . $image->imageURL . "\" rel=\"lightbox\">";

If I find the time I’ll code this in as an option. There’s the code to do it manually for now.

Please do note that TimThumb version 1 has security issues and as such it is not advisable to use it. v2 should work with the proper setup, unfortunately I don’t completely remember the steps necessary to get it working and I can’t find the documentation right now.

Not sure, please see the TimThumb documentation. Try chmod 777

The problem is that NivoSlider doesn’t support PNG, so transparent backgrounds are not possible.

I’ll look into adding border support.

Thanks for the review! Let me know if the problem with the effects persists ??

As long as you give the correct arguments in the shortcode you should just be able to use thumbnail navigation on all sliders. You can’t set the defaults for the slider (perhaps I will implement that) so you have to set everything explicitly.

I’m not sure if I completely understand the problem though. Also I can’t view the ESPN galleries for some reason. Just get a gradient background and nothing else.

Looks like you changed to another slider! Marking this resolved for now.

Marking this as resolved since there is no feedback

jQuery is being enqueued in the plugin so it should automatically load. Seeing how all other scripts are properly loading (and since it works on my end) I do not think the issue lies with the plugin.

Perhaps another plugin/your theme is dequeuing jQuery? Keep me up to date, if it turns out it is actually an issue with the plugin I would like to fix it!

Sorry for the late response. However I can not seem to replicate this issue. Could you please provide me with a website that has this issue or the settings that you’re using?

Glad to hear you were able to resolve your issues! Let me know if you run into any other problems.

I have just updated the plugin to version 3.2.5. This should fix the issue with widgets not working. Let me know if you run into any trouble!

Hi George,

Thank you for the notice! I have just updated the plugin to version 3.2.5. This should resolve the issue with widgets not working.
