Thanks to the author. After further research – I discovered a plugin does most of what I need: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/list-yo-files/

Well don’t I feel dumb. Damn brackets! Must have misplaced it from the very beginning.

Thanks Andrew. Considered it solved.

@wpyogi – I did see that body CSS, but changing the font had no effect for fonts <600. No matter what it showed up as Helvetica. I can change the body.custom-font-enabled – which will change the font for >600 without issue.

Here’s the site I’m working on- far from complete, but you can see the issue: https://laughingalfloral.com/site2012/featured/ I removed all extra media queries as none of them worked.
Thanks again,
SL

Hi Andrew,
Yes, I knew about Media Queries, and normally that seems to do it, but I’ve tried every possible CSS and couldn’t find one that would override the CSS for max-width: 599px.

If anyone has successfully done this, I’d love to take a peek.
Thanks,
SL

Thank you so much ironprogrammer! Worked great. Here’s what I did for the css:

.slider-wrapper {position: relative;border: 1px solid #da5726;}
.slider-overlay { position: absolute; top: 10px; right: 10px; z-index:20;}


This gave me the border I wanted. The z-index was definitely required.

One question though… I tried using your get_template php code without success. I ended doing a specific link. It seems like it should work, but as I am using a child theme (of the Responsive Theme), I think I have something wrong. I would like to make it work if possible. Currently my site is local only. When I use that php- it looks for the images in the uploads folder instead of the images folder within my child theme. Is there a quick fix for this?

Thank you again for this fix. Made my vision possible.!

rick71 – see: https://support.dev7studios.com/discussions/nivo-slider-wordpress-plugin/1002-nivo-slider-hides-dropdown-menus

I deleted the plugin and reinstalled, and that fixed the problems. All good now.

Just wanted to help anyone in my situation…

If you add:

#access {position:relative; z-index:9999;}

It fixes the problems.

I concur with smitty01140 – working in FF. Not working in Chrome though ??

Thanks dmglouis, but unless I can use it universally (one fix for all slideshows), it’s pretty hopeless. Seems like this should be an easy thing….

I’m using the simpleX theme, can’t figure a way to make it happy. I did add `.nivo_slider {
z-index:-1;}`
So that at least the slideshow isn’t covering the menu any more. But I’ve lost the cool nivo slide options.

I’m getting this also- I’m getting extra space after each [expand] block.

Anybody ever discover a fix for this? Usually you can change a z-index somewhere, but no fix seems to work for me. I tried all of the effects and still have the problem.

Yes. I must have a random slideshow without Flash. If I install JJ NextGen JQuery Cycle I can have random, but I lose the ability to change the background color. I still can’t figure out image alignment either – won’t align to middle. Only to top. Anybody recommend a slideshow plugin that allows for full CSS changes and has random?
