drop down menu hides behind slider

Hi,

Try adding this to your CSS file:

#nav ul {
    z-index: 9999;
}

Should fix it ??

If you like Meta Slider please consider leaving a rating!

It did fix it.

Thank you so much!!

Can you tell me where I can adjust the flexslider so it stops on the 4th slide?

Where do I leave a rating?

Hi,

There’s no way to stop it on the 4th slide sorry, but I will take a look to see if its a flexslider option. If it is I’ll try and expose this setting in the next release. I didn’t put settings like ‘auto start’ and ‘play once’ into the initial versions as I didn’t think they’d really be used, but if people want them we will add them.

Thanks for the amazing review!

Regards,
Tom.

Greetings Tom,

You really are awesome in your service. If I can reciprocate with links on any of the sites in our network I would be happy to help. Even for client sites. send email to 2surfcr at gmail com and I will do it.

I already have on the site, applied your fix for the nav issue on the home page which is currently using a modified version of the Nivo slider. However, I like the lightness of the flexslider, so if you can figure out how to have it stop on the 4th slide it would be great. Or if you can tell me where its js files are for me to mod I can try it myself.

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words ??

It won’t be too easy to modify flexslider, and I haven’t tested this.. but, try replacing the contents of plugins/ml-slider/assets/jquery.flexslider-min.js with the contents of this file: https://github.com/woothemes/FlexSlider/blob/master/jquery.flexslider.js

Then edit line 820 and change animationLoop to false, save and upload. Obviously take a backup etc etc!

You’ll lose that edit when you update to the next version of Meta Slider, but I’ll add it in as a built in option.

Tom.

Worked perfectly and let me know if you need some real estate related links. We run a network of real estate and tourism related sites.

Going to apply it to the home page and hope for the best!

Cheers and thanks

Really strange results, I made the updates and it works. However, I am trying to mod the CSS on it to remove the caption background and the site is pulling the CSS from here….how can that happen?

https://silverstoneranches.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-showcase/scripts/flexslider/flexslider.css?ver=1.8

Using Chrome Inspector to see the CSS for the captions on the slider

Is this a hierarchical thing?

Hi,

Did you fix this? I’m on an iPad so have limited abilities to see what you’ve done, but it looks to me like you’ve restyled the captions successfully. Yes all CSS rules are hierarchical, so you either need to make the selectors more specific than the default styles, or add !important to your custom rules.

Greetings Tom

No I did not get it fixed, all I did was updated the wp-showcase CSS to modify it. I am totally confused as to why it would be pulling CSS from another plugin source. Is there a way to hard code the CSS location for your plugin’s CSS?

Thanks for the help

Hi Tom,

I’m having issues with the slider getting on top of the sub-menu.
The z-index fix doesn’t work for me: as soon as a transition between the images completes, the sub-menu ends up behind the image itself.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Ginestra
