1.4 Breaks SiteOrigin Slider

Hi caliperdesign

Thanks for letting me know about this issue. I’m going to try recreate this issue on my development server ASAP and push out a fix.

Hi caliperdesign

Are you by any chance using Page Builder to create the page where you’re seeing the issue? If so, would it be possible for you to send me an export of the page? I’ll let you know how and where.

I haven’t been able to recreate the issue so far, but I’ll keep on trying.

Yea Greg I am using Page Builder. Sorry I didn’t mention that in the comment. And thanks for getting back so gosh dang quick!

So do I use the WP export tool or should I grab it from the DB or something? Let me know and I’ll do it for you.

In Page Builder, click on the Prebuilt button in the toolbar, then on the right you should see an import/export tab. Click that to download the json file and if it’s not too much trouble, send that on over to greg@siteorigin.com.

I’m about to head off to sleep for the evening, but I’ll take a look at the export file tomorrow. Maybe we could even organize a short period where you switch back to the latest version of Widgets Bundle so I can take a look at what’s going on.

I’ll chat to you tomorrow ??

Hi caliperdesign

I think we’ve managed to diagnose the issue. Can you check if any of your slider frames have empty background videos in them. It seems like with the latest update, having empty background videos in slider frames, breaks things.

Just delete all the unused background videos from your slides and you should be good to go.

Greg I couldn’t find any background videos on any of the sliders. Is that what the JSON output suggests?

So I pulled down the 1.4 update and deleted then recreated the Slider widget that was working with 1.3.1 and compared the JSON outputs from the different versions. After some trial and error I found that the when the url property has something in it, it breaks my layout. Changing everything else didn’t seem to cause any problems, even passing the frames property as an object vs. array in 1.4. Below is the JSON with the url property that’s breaking stuff.

Hope this helps you isolate the issue!

      "frames": [
        {
          "background_image": "813",
          "background_image_type": "cover",
          "foreground_image": "0",
          "url": "https://test.net",
          "new_window": "on"
        },
        {
          "background_image": "806",
          "background_image_type": "cover",
          "foreground_image": "0",
          "url": "https://test.net",
          "new_window": "on"
        },
        {
          "background_image": "805",
          "background_image_type": "cover",
          "foreground_image": "0",
          "url": "https://test.net",
          "new_window": "on"
        }
      ],
