Where are you editing the nivo-slider’s CSS? Since it is now supporting themes, there is a theme .css being loaded and a theme-themename class being added to the slider. So for example if you’re using the default theme the plugin will load

nextgen-nivoslider\themes\default\default.css
and will add the theme-default class to nivoslider. In the default.css styles are being set as following:

.theme-default .nivoSlider. {
}

Meaning it might be overriding your styles if you’re defining them elsewhere and with less selectors. Edit default.css (or another theme, depending on which one you’ve chosen) to alter the style or be more specific with your selectors. If wanted I could also add an option to disable themes altogether. I implemented them to make all the functionality of NivoSlider available.

have you tried setting the CSS as following?

#featured-image .nivoSlider {
margin: 27px auto;
max-height: 498px;
max-width: 920px;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
top: 0;
}

Since this is specific it should set the style to the nivoSlider container.

Strange. You can’t set a theme from the options page under Nextgen Gallery -> NivoSlider?

I do not have issues with other browsers. Could you show me the page on which this is happening?

There is a problem with the widget right now (which I found out right after I releasd 3.2.4 for which I will be releasing a bugfix within today. If possible I’d like to resolve the issues you’re having in the same update.

Oh, of course! This is because of the conditional loading I implemented. Stupid mistake.

Haha if only I saw this before I just posted the new update. I’ll have 3.2.5 up in a moment. That should fix this issue.

Found the CSS problem that was ruining the effects!

For now you should fix it manually until I release the next update:
Edit the nivo-slider.css and change it so that .nivoSlider img is has a max-width of none !important.

Like so:

.nivoSlider img {
max-width: none !important;
}

You can also do it in your theme stylesheet or whatever. What was happening is that your theme’s (or something else) stylesheet was overriding the value, thus breaking the effects.

Sorry for the wait. I don’t have a lot of free time to spend on this, but it will get done, promise! I’ve pretty much overhauled the plugin and made it object oriented, making it easier to alter it in the future. (I will most likely be releasing a version for Flexslider as well) and I added theme support. In any case the effects should be working with next release.

Looking into it. Not sure what the cause is yet, since the effects are properly passed to NivoSlider. May be a styling issue or perhaps script conflict. I’ll let you know when I know more.

Perhaps you clicked “Subscribe to Emails from this plugin” near the bottom of the page at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/nextgen-nivoslider?

If so it should say “Unsubscribe from Emails for this Plugin” now. Just click that if that’s the case (I think!)

Oh that is quite weird, and also a bit embarrassing since you can see how much of a newbie I am with SVN…

I really don’t think that is supposed to happen though.

Sorry for the bug guys. I didn’t catch it because I stupidly didn’t have my development version of WordPress running in debug mode.

Version 3.2.3 should be up right now. Please let me know if everything works alright!

Version 3.2.2 has been released, please use the “caption” option to display captions on your Nivoslider.

Okay I uploaded the release candidate. Feel free to test it out! From preliminary tests it seems to be working.

Next I want to add built-in theme support, but that’s for the next version.

Changelog for this version:
= 3.2.2 =
* Added: More options to the widget configuration panel (resizing, background color selection, width and height)
* Added: randomStart, prevText and nextText options to NivoSlider settings
* Added: caption [“alttext”|”description”|”both”]
* Changed: The script is now only loaded when necessary (eg. when the shortcode/widget has been used on the page)
* Changed: Cleaned up code
* Fixed: Thumbnail navigation now works correctly

You can get it from https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/nextgen-nivoslider/developers/ by downloading the “developer version”

If it doesn’t break anything I’ll upload it officially later.

I’ve added a new option to the new version,that I’ll be releasing today or in the coming days (still have to iron out some bugs).

The new options is used as following:
caption [“alttext”|”description”|”both”]: Show a caption with the slide, showing either the alttext or description as set up in NextGen gallery or both as “Bolded AltText – Description”

In the mean time you can simple put any text into the description and you’ll get a caption.

Haha wow, what a coincidence. Just as I’m working on the plugin! I’ll have the update out this evening/tomorrow morning (depending on whether I don’t run upon any bugs). I cleaned up the code a bit and added conditional loading as well, so hopefully everything will work correctly!

Haha no problem at all! The whole reason I created this plugin was to make NivoSlider responsive in the first place, so I was quite confused at the topic title at first. Hope everything worked out for you!

I’ll have a look and get back to you when I know more! I’ve been really busy, but I’ll update this plugin soon!
