You bet!

Chris

Appreciate that. I solved it using the coding from the footer, figuring they were similar.

Cheers

Hi there,

Awesome! I'm glad you're happy with the theme :-)

For the slider, try the following... open up "slider.php" and replace the following on line 19 from this...

<li><a href="<?php  if ($data[ 'custom_link' ]) { echo $data[ 'custom_link' ];} else { the_permalink(); } ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('slider', array('title' => "")); ?></a></li>

...to this...

<li><a title="<?php the_title();?>" href="<?php  if ($data[ 'custom_link' ]) { echo $data[ 'custom_link' ];} else { the_permalink(); } ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('slider', array('title' => "")); ?></a></li>

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Hi Chris -

I discovered the same issue exists within the slider. No doubt you will update the template, you'll want to fix that within the slider too.

Tim

Ya bro. That's the ticket.
Solved.
Thank you Chris.

[Template has been well received by my charity group. I'm always happy when quality products prevail. You have a new customer for life.]

Hi there,

Try this... open footer.php and replace the following on line 22...

<a href="<?php  if ($data[ 'custom_link' ]) { echo $data[ 'custom_link' ];} else { the_permalink(); } ?>">

...with this...

<a href="<?php  if ($data[ 'custom_link' ]) { echo $data[ 'custom_link' ];} else { the_permalink(); } ?>" title="<?php the_title();?>">

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Hi Chris

Yes I double, triple checked. There is somethign in the Caption/Alt Text/Description.

I think there might be an issue with the tag?
Example - on the page it shows up -http://www.medicshelp.org/?attachment_id=487 [mosquito net]
But selecting it from the the slider image on the front page it does not - http://medicshelp.org

Thoughts?

Hi there,

Did you try editing the meta information for the image (i.e. title, description, alternate text, etc)?

Let me know.

Best,

Chris

Sometimes the answer are starting at us and we can't see them.

After deleting the .PNG file and uploading new as .png replacing the featured image, yes it worked very successfully. Thank you.

Still states "undefined" at the bottom of picture. I can change the pp_description by editing it in firebug, but not sure what it is referencing. Any thoughts on what I have not defined?

Hi there,

Maybe it's because the actual file has the capital PNG when it was saved. I'm sure if you save the file with lowercase png it should work too.

Best,

Chris

Believe it or not, .jpgs did work.. But not the .png.
ie. http://medicshelp.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/medics-help-photo-gallery-tara.jpg

It shows on the bottom of the box "undefined" at the bottom of the picture. Firebug says that references the pp_description. Ive plugged all the boxes with something but still shows.

Interesting... I get a popup that says "Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the path is correct and image exist." but it is definitely trying to load the image using lightbox cause it shows the "swirly circle"...
You are definitely on to something. No .pngs perhaps? I'll try with a jpg

...to clarify, use lowercase extensions and not capitals.

Hi there,

This might not matter, but try using .png and not .PNG in the link.

Let me know if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

Chris

It did, yes and no.
The link does open the image but without the lightbox effect. It leaves the user no method to close the image and return the same page except by page backing. Kinda messy by use.

Trying to work through it logically, can rel="prettyPhoto be hardcoded into the footer.php?

Hi there,

If you use the custom link field and enter the URL of the image (i.e. link URL ends with either .jpg, .png or .gif), then the prettyPhoto pop-up will work for those items.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Chris

This is a fantastic template. Well done sir.

Is there a method to open the footer images directly into the lightbox effect - rel="prettyPhoto"?

Thank you,
Tim

Hi there,

Your carousel links have target="_blank" added to them. This is why you're links are opening in a new window.

Did you add that? It shouldn't be there by default.

Thanks!

Chris

I have the same question. I've put a # on the Custom link and it's still clicking through to a new window. I don't want to image to be clickable/go nowhere unless there is an actual link.

Am I missing something?

Hi there,

On the post edit screen there is a custom field for posting a "Custom Link". Use that field for the post to link elsewhere.

If you don't want the link to go anywhere, just use # and the link will do nothing.

Thanks!

Chris

Hi, I have images that are scrolling through in the footer carousel, but I don't want them to link to any blog posts (the posts are empty except for the featured images).

Ideally, I would use a category exclude widget on the site to keep the slider and footer categories out of the rest of the blog section.

My question comes down to this: What do I need to change so the thumbnails in the footer carousel are not linking to blog posts?

Thanks!
