Hi Josh,

Thanks for the quick response. Okay, so the images are all set to the same size when I uploaded them (1438px) in width so they are all consistent and look good on larger screens.

I tried putting buttons outside the .mslide container and it broke the slideshow. I am not sure the buttons are causing an issue. They work perfect and are integrated into the slideshow transition with custom fields.

So I tried this: setting image containers and img to 100% so it will just fill in the full width naturally like you suggested. I set the browser window in skinnier width and refresh. Then maxed the window. Still have the same problem of the first image looking correct, and then afterward being stuck or cached in the small size from first page load. It only fills the width that it should when the browser is refreshed. It scales down beautifully, but not up properly. I thought perhaps it was a browser timing thing or jquery bug. I hope I am explaining this okay. I would show you a screen shot example, but don’t see how to add an attachment.

Actually Josh,

While I’m talking about that, this slideshow I made is supposed to scale, but doesn’t (scroll down to Rave Reviews section). Not to hijack my question, but if I were to make tabbed content slideshow, it would be similar to this one but with tabs at the top. However, this one is not scaling and I can’t change the header font size unless I use #main.

What I am looking for is to use the Meteor Slides to make content slides that you can still read easily on mobile, slide with finger, and customize transition (not auto).

Am I asking too much to convert the slideshow to content slides? Obviously I love your plugin enough to really push its limits on many things I need. ??

I am looking to make the clickable tabs above the slides so each will click to a slide with specific content. It sounds like I can do this with the pager.

I do want the slides to scale in width for mobile but accommodate the text in height,just a regular page. Is that possible?

I removed the code, but my theme is still broken, so I will need to start over on that. I noticed it broke after I installed a plugin last night. It never came back after deinstalling the plugin, so I thought your discovery may fix it. No biggie, I can easily redo the child theme.

I reactivated the default twenty thirteen theme to help illustrate my original question. You can see the nav bar is fixed under the header image. I would like to float:right the nav bar next to the site title on the left. When coding the #navbar id container to where I want it positioned, the menu actually became dead. I could see the text, but links were not active. I used Firebug to seek out all the id and containers and tried several different ones, but still couldn’t get it to work.

My question is whether it’s possible to float the twenthythirteen nav bar and which id container to target or if I should use twentytwelve theme instead.

Okay, thanks. I’ve been reading more about the moderators for WordPress and etiquette and have to say that I am humbled at the fact you guys/gals volunteer your time to assist the millions of (sometimes inane) questions.

Thank you for what you do. ??

Also, this does explain why I broke my theme last night. I was trying to move the search button to the top, but if I can get the menu to work where it is with the search, I’ll leave it there. Maybe this will fix the problem. Checking…

Am I in trouble for bumping (I just learned what that is) in an earlier post? Moderators are always so good at getting back to the members and I am afraid I have ruined my reputation because no one is responding. ??

I deserved that scolding. I am volunteering for this nonprofit and their new site design is time critical for publicity coming up.

At any rate, I figured it out. The child theme style sheet has to be named “style.css” not something else for it to show up in the Managed Themes.

A two second answer that may help someone else making the same mistake.

You are right. That solved the issue. I can now test my custom header and footer for that one page.

Thank you!

Josh!

Nevermind, I figured it out.
I add the actual ID from the source code of that particular slideshow to customize the caption.

Thanks for the tip.

HI Josh,

Okay, you are right. I have a background image for one of the captions. I am not sure how to load the captions conditionally. I have at least 3 slideshows. I only want one of them (slideshowholder) to have captions and the background image.

Thank you

Code in template:

In page.php

if ( is_page(‘hometestpage’) ) :
get_header( ‘cover’ );
else :
get_header();
endif;
____________________________
My custom header is called header-cover.php

HI,
No I haven’t. Is this where I need to add the conditional tags?
What do need to do next?

Okay, thanks for sharing that. Using the .blog class wonked the page when I tried to contain the width. I see you guys like us to do the homework.

Just have spent a lot of time already looking at source code and don’t have a lot left to spare, so I thought perhaps an expert could speed things up. Sometimes customizing WordPress can be a major puzzle, but I’ll figure it out.

All I want is the header, footer, and background image to span the page with content centered, like it is on the other pages.

Okay. So is there or is there not a specific tag or style for just the blog page?

Do you know what it is?

Not trying to be difficult here, but I’d really like to know.

Let me clarify. If you view the other pages, you will see the content appear correctly within the 1000px for the site content. The blog page is the only one not behaving.

Page with correct width.

Blog page misbehaving.

Thoughts?
