If a similar responsive floating menu were written into this theme that would enter from the left or right it would be well worth it, especially anytime us as users/customers dont need to install yet another plugin to get something done.

Perhaps something for the suggestion list.

I have used Misty Lake for quite some time because its just a no-nonsense theme and easy to tweak and hope it stays around for some time to come.

Ah, Ok I found my own solution. h1.menu-toggle is what I was looking for

I favored CSS as a quick solution:

.menu-toggle {
display: none;
}

So for what its worth to anyone else using this theme and a mobile menu plugin, there you go….

Thats fine and I sort of suspected that. Thanks for the response.

vaidast, I never had much good experiences using XAMPP because I always experienced oddities. I almost settled on creating an Ubuntu box for doing my WordPress stuff but ran across something else I ended up settling on from a company called Bitnami. Granted its a VM so you need either VMware or VirtualBox (free VM alternative). I have VMware and have been using Bitnami ever since for my sandbox. Besides, you screw anything up its just the VM thats affected. Its a Lubuntu install with the WordPress stack and all pre-installed. it runs local on your machine and is as simple as logging into it via localhost or IP with your browser and configuring your WordPress environment.

Its not a shameless plug or anything, I have no ties with them. Im like the rest of you, chugging away at learning WordPress, PHP and stuff and just sharing this as a free solution tool.

Thought I would add to this. If you want to just use it in the header of your home page only and not in the headers of other pages use:

<?php if ( is_home() && function_exists('nemus_slider') ) { nemus_slider(1213); } ?>

It will instantiate the function and the slider number. there is probably always a better way of doing something but I just like to share regardless. Hope it helps someone.

Something else to add which I think is important to mention, if I change the slider from Slide to Fade the issue with the floater (caption text) does not occur and displays as it is intended to with each slide.

Great slider, enjoy using it. I have the same issue no matter what theme I use. The slider functions as expected except for the text, I guess floats as is referenced in this thread. the first slide always loads correctly with the floating text and then with the rest of the slides the float slides into view and is then shoved to the back of the picture, like it loses its priority of focus.

I have equally noticed that when this occurs, if I move my mouse over any links on the page, sidebar or menu that the float regains focus and appears on top of the graphic like it is supposed to. Again, this occurs no matter what theme I have used. I use Nemus as a header slider and on pages and the same thing occurs. I dont mind not using floating text but I would like to get to the bottom of the issue so I know how to correct it when I do want to use the feature.

Yes thanks for the update Peter. Much welcomed.

Peter,

I think another great suggestion is adding a field to modify the data-timeout (in the slider.php) without having to directly modify the code through the editor in WordPress. By default it is set to 10 seconds when in slider mode to transition between tweets.

I do web QA so my perspective is that the expected use-case would be that the controls are present by default and then offer control over hiding, although I guess the term hiding can be synonymous with remove. Not a large user base is going to use the plugin on a homeowners association website but the parameter options would be helpful.

My use-case is using the plugin similar to what a college or school might for notification only for posting to an area of the main website with no expectation of anyone replying, merely viewing. On Twitters end I have the Twitter account set to private which also enforces that no one can automatically Follow and tweet or re-tweet. If you feel inclined you can view the simple post notification I have it set up for at https://www.themeridianofpasadena.org/wordpress/.

Again thanks for the time you put in on your plugin.

Steve
