OK, I finally got ver 2 of the theme active on my site. I’m hoping that’s the only thing that was keeping the upgrade to PHP 8.1 from taking place. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi
I am running Ambition Pro ver 1.0.6. My theme dashboard says it is up to date and there is no newer version.
Since the error log when the upgrade to PHP 8.2 failed said the issue was with the theme, I haven’t attempted to test any other plugins. The support team from my web host said the issue pointed directly to the theme.
All of my plugins update automatically and there are no plugins that have newer versions than I have installed on the site.

Thanks.

Thank you very much. That fixed the problem.

[Webmaster]

Thank you. That’s what I needed. I had seen that interface, but wasn’t sure exactly how it worked.

[Webmaster]

I’m not sure this is an issue with the plug in. Is there a way I can attach an image of how the text from the home page displays on the iPhone screen? … I think the theme is not properly responding to the screen size.

[Webmaster]

Never mind. Apparently I needed to back out of the customize settings completely to have the change in No of Slides take effect.

Thanks.

[Webmaster]

Thank you very much. That worked.

I haven’t heard any response concerning my issue and my efforts to troubleshoot as you suggested (Reply #48666).

Is someone working on this issue?

If I can’t get the slider to work, is there a way to create a static home page header image without requiring all other web pages on the site to have a page header image?

Please let me know.

I’m not sure what this means, or if it has any connection to my open support request. All I know is that I was notified of this post.

Sorry, I have been recovering from surgery for about a week now and was not able to re-engage on this topic.

In response to this suggestion, I deactivated both plug ins that I was using. One is a calendar plug in, and one is a photo gallery plug in. I definitely need to use the calendar application; I can probably find an alternative photo gallery if that is causing the conflict. However, after deactivating both and reloading the home page, the slider is still not rotating among the images I have loaded. So the problem does not appear to be a plug in conflict.

I did install one piece of CSS code that you gave me to try earlier to set the size of the slider image. That code is:
.featured-slider .featured-image {
padding: 10% 0;
}
I removed that and reloaded the home page, but the slider still does not rotate.

Finally, you said that the theme code does not crop the images in the slider. That is not what I’m seeing on my site. I am adding some screen captures so you can see how the image is shown on my home page and also how that image is loaded into my media library. It’s definitely being cropped somewhere.

Here is a link to the screen shots, which I have placed in a Dropbox folder for you: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8u85h4o46hyyt8g/AACezgcrgutbuhCS5GZ7Udgsa?dl=0

Please let me know if you can figure out why my slider is cropping the images and why it is not rotating between the images. Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks for that help. Please see my reply to another thread concerning the problems I’m having with the operation of the slider.

Also, please note the reply I added to an earlier thread about modifying the width of the sidebars. You seemed to indicate that was possible, but the person who asked the original question never followed up with you concerning the width he wanted. I followed up and indicated that I’d like the ability to make the sidebar between 35 percent and 40 percent the width of the main column, when it appears to be set at about 50 percent in the standard theme.

Can you give me guidance about what I could do to narrow the sidebar a little bit? Thanks.

OK, I have more on this issue. There are two things I wish to resolve with my slider on my website: http://www.opcaaw.com/wordpress/

First of all, while I’ve been able to change the size of the slider image using the CSS code you provided, the theme is cropping the images that I’ve loaded into the slider instead of allowing them to display full size. The full size of the image is the size I want the slider image to be.

The second issue has to do with the operation of the slider itself. The first slide shows in the slider and does not change. There is no rotation of images. The settings in the customize > featured content settings are:
Slider type: Image Slider
Slider status: home page
Slider content: on
Transition effect: Fade
Transition delay 4
Transition duration: 1
Featured text position Left
No of slides: 3

Images are loaded in the slider for all three slides.

What am I doing wrong?

[Webmaster]

OK, I see where the code is added from the dashboard. If you add code through this method, does it stay in place through any theme updates, or must it be added again after an update occurs?

And, the big question, where in that code is the size of the slider photos set?

I am having trouble getting my slider to work. I have three photos loaded in the image slider, but it’s not rotating from image to image. It’s just static on the home page.

Thanks.

That’s exactly what I had done. When the code you suggested didn’t point to anything, I made the following change and it works fine:

Thanks.

[Webmaster]

Oh, just on addition. The code you provided pointed the link to the image, not to the document that was in my original code. I did realize that and make the change so the code points to the pdf, not the jpg.

Wanted you to know that it wasn’t plug and play.
