Oh good! I was really confused about that one ;-)

Thanks for following up!

Chris

Hey Chris,

I reinstalled the whole template on a different subdomain, and everything works fine now. Maybe it was the database on the first domain.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I'm really at a loss for what the issue could be. I'm not seeing this issue on two separate installations of this theme, so I'm unable to effectively troubleshoot as I can't recreate the issue.

Do you have another dev environment you can test on to see if this issue IS unique to your current WordPress/server/host setup?

Let me know!

Chris

Hey Chris,

Any luck on solving this?

Could it be something with the host I'm using? Right now it's hosted on mediatemple.

If I can't get this issue solved this week, I'm going to have to use a different template for my client.

Let me know!

Hey Chris,

That fixed the transition issue, but not the image issue.

It still just shows black background or the dark theme pattern, depending on which browser I view with...

Not to rush, but I need to launch this site for a client by the end of next week, so please try to find out more soon!

Thanks!

Hi there,

I found out the issue with the transition effect...

With the latest version of jQuery, it's incorrectly adding a fading animation when elements are told to "display:none".

The temporary fix is to open up "style.css" and replace the following chunk of code at the top of the page...

-moz-transition-property:background-color, color, opacity;
-moz-transition-duration:0.20s;
-moz-transition-timing-function:linear;

-webkit-transition-property:background-color, color, opacity;
-webkit-transition-duration:0.20s;
-webkit-transition-timing-function:linear; 

-o-transition-property:background-color, color, opacity;
-o-transition-duration:0.20s;
-o-transition-timing-function:linear;

...with this...

-moz-transition-property:background-color, color;
-moz-transition-duration:0.20s;
-moz-transition-timing-function:linear;

-webkit-transition-property:background-color, color;
-webkit-transition-duration:0.20s;
-webkit-transition-timing-function:linear; 

-o-transition-property:background-color, color;
-o-transition-duration:0.20s;
-o-transition-timing-function:linear;

Let me know if this also addresses the image issue.

Thanks!

Chris

Hi there,

I thought about that too, but looked at one of your images and didn't think it would be an issue with size/resolution.

I see what you mean about the transitions too.

I'm going to mark this thread as "pending review" because I need to look into this some more. I'm really confused as to what the issue could be.

I appreciate your patience!

Chris

Do the images need to be a specific optimum resolution?

I noticed when I have multiple slides on the slider, and I click through a few times so the images show up, they don't transition smoothly like in the demo. They kind of pop in and out, if they show up at all.

The post does have an assigned image, and original slider category was a new one called "Films", which has its own image.

I only switched to I categorized to include more than one post.

Any ideas on why its broken?

Hi there,

This is odd...

I see the other slides don't have any images. Did you assign an image for the post you added?

Also, try creating a category other than "uncategorized" and be sure to add an image for that category as well.

Let me know if that has any impact.

Hi Chris,

I tried deactivating all plugins, didn't work.

I reinstalled the whole template and reset all the files. Didn't work.

Right now I added another slide, still same issue.

The only thing I noticed is that when I switched back to the dark theme, the patterns show up in the slider now instead of a black background.

I've also tried different images, to no avail.

Anyways, can you help me make it work the way it's intended to?

Hi there,

Just a couple of basic troubleshooting questions to get out of the way...

1. Do you have any plugins installed? If so, please try deactivating those.
2. Have you made ANY edits to the template files? If so, please undo those edits.

Another thing to try is to add another slide as it might possibly be an issue with just having 1 post in the slider.

Let me know!

Chris

Hi Chris,

When I set the custom background image for a post on my site, it works fine on the actual page, but not in the Home slider.

When you scroll to the slider or hit continue, the first post pops up with a black background (not even the theme pattern) and the only way for it to display my custom background is if you navigate to another slider tab and then back to the first one.

On the demo the background images work fine on the Home slider; each post has its own background loaded when you load the page. Can you help me fix mine?

Check it out: http://kosmicdesign.com/heaven/

I inspected the element with Firebug, and the section div class="backstretch" does not even appear until after you play with the slider.

I've tried it on Chrome, and also on a Mac with Firefox, and got the same result.

Please help!
