Thank you for replying. I followed the instructions and this is the shortcode I placed in text editor: [wcfgallery ids=”31,30,29,28,27″]

Now all images are shown in one line and small, as opposed to one image at a time, and no sliding behavior.

I can also not find the video tutorial on the url you posted, or anywhere else. Kindly supply that link, maybe there is a hint in that. Thanks in advance.

Hello, would you be able to post the link to the video tutorial? Mine is also not working, in fact all images are showing up stacked in the page

It seems you have a case of selective reading or something. I never said he shouldnt help people. I said he should not post or blurt out comments without reading the code. He says he will not look at the code if he does not have time to do so – did you see that comment? Please say you did and you’re just choosing to ignore it. How is that an effective methodolgy in troubleshooting? You’re really not reading all of what I am writing here. As for the dfifference between what is/is not polite – how many times do I post here that the volunteer effort is appreciated?

to be balanced please remove songdogtech’s last reply because that is coming across as a nag that does not help the troubleshooting process, I never accused him of anything other than his misplaced comment of “go learn about media quesries” which is really not professional either.

As for posting on a free or paid theme’s support: I was merely trying to reach out for help from anyone. The support team for that paid team are simply not responsive. Thank you

I have definitely been respectful, I think you have your wires crossed there my friend, please refer back to my comments, or at least read them twice before deleting. FIrst off I never accused him of not helping me, I do however question his methodology of just spurting out comments without reading the code. In your professional opinion do you think that is how we debug code, or offer help to others? Thank you for jumping to your colleagues aid without really reading whats been going on, that is telling of your professionalism by the way.

I am reposting here to help others who may come across a similar case. I had to dig deep into the code and found a section with hard coded values of width/height. once that was removed it all worked.

I am posting the solution here to help others who may come across the same problem. THe following attributes need to be placed on the anchor tag: rel=”lightbox” data-lightbox-type=”iframe”

so my html looks like this:
Watch trailer

and this worked like a charm

songdogtech:
I do appreciate you wanting to be helpful. I am more than aware of what media queries are (not a noob to dev). My issue here is getting this thing working within the clunky WordPress environment (not my choice of framework).

Following the technique mentioned in your first reply (very helpful) would not require any media queries as everything gets set at 100%. Still, I went ahead and put in media queries anyway, for the benefit of the doubt, and got the same result. Had you looked at the code you would have noticed them. Not trying to be rude, just befuddled and running out of time. Incidentally I had made a mistake about the iPad load: it is not loading right there too.

Please look at the source/code first before posting:

Again I appreciate all the help I can get to put this to bed from any and all

an update: it seems resizing on the iPad is good, its only on the iPhone that the video comes out real big. If this could be replicated on a browser I could use chrome dev tools to troubleshoot, it loads just fine on chrome and in dev tools.

Thank you, I just tried that method. Although the outer div of the iframe is resizing correctly, the video frame itself is not. not sure what the hiccup is

Hi Evan.
I had already tried logging in as admin before I started this thread and the results were the same. This is definitely a wordpress issue. I found a few other threads with ppl having same issue but none had posted a resolution and thats why I am here. Please do a search if u dont believe me.

Once again there is no text in any php templates. Several pages are created using a few templates, all variable text data etc is entered in the editor just like any other wordpress site. That block of code was removed just to make the request work for now but that is not a definitive solution, the banners etc will be re-implemented at a later date and it is inefficient to have to continuously delete/re-paste code, or to even comment-out code one line at a time. It would be optimal to have a placeholder to just turn on/off when needed. This is a simple operation that is obviously facing a glitch somewhere in wp.

I do agree with upgrading 3.6, and yes it is a big security risk. If anyone who has had this problem AND was able to find a solution please dont be shy to post here.

the text sits in the actual wordpress editor, it does not appear in any of the templates. you can take a look at this page online: https://events.latimes.com/spiritsofthetimes/

This is just odd to me, maybe it used to be possible or maybe it is a version issue (using ver 3.6 here) If that should be the case then I can raise the issue with the head administrator, and I doubt they’ll go for upgrading fearing problems across the many sites and pages in existence.

The one other solution I have come across (dont mind sharing) is that there are a couple of plugins out there such as Enable RAW HTML, or Preserved HTML Editor Markup. Others have suggested going into the function.php file and placing code that prevents wp from stripping comments. If any readers have any experience with any of these plugins then by all means let me know yay or nay and I can forward the recommendation.

Hi Evan, jherrington’s comment sounds like finding the html pages, making the needed edits, followed by uploading/replacing. Let me know if I misunderstood that. If that is the case then that just doesnt make sense since there is no html page. Several pages are recreated from templates, I am not trying to teach how wordpress works but thats basically why his suggestion does not even make sense, no offense jherrington. unless again i misunderstood it.

I am not sure if the question here is the method of editing text, I mean we’re only talking about placing <!– text –> spanning more than one line of code.. it works if its just a single line but not if its more than one. I tried copy/pasting it from another text editor and it still will not take it. The editor converts the angle brackets <, and >, into the html number.

anyone else come across this issue? any real solutions or ideas for this?

are u asking me to go into the database and find the appropriate table just to place <!– … –> around the code?? For one thing I dont have access to the tables, even if I did this is hardly a solution.
