Genesis Responsive Slider – IE 7

Sorry, the slider doesn’t support IE 7.

Thanks for your reply, Ron.

The slide display part works. It’s the pagination that doesn’t work correctly in IE7. If I turn off the pagination display, it looks fine in IE7. I am going to try using a stylesheet for IE7 that sets the pagination dots to “display:none”.

If IE7 isn’t supported, can you suggest an alternative slider to use. I am using Genesis’ Agency theme.

I’ve been using linux & Mac for several years so I’m not familiar with which sliders work with IE7.

Thank you for your reply.

I’m not sure how many non-profit organizations have the sophistication to be using linux and the Mac OS ??

My wife being the ED of a non-profit, she’s thrilled to be using Windows XP (soon to be upgraded to Windows 7) and IE7. Her company is not technically-savvy or up-to-date with current technology. I don’t think she’s alone. I think we have to think about the people that we are serving ??

I chose WordPress as a platform because it promised to be user-friendly for my client to update organization news regularly, and Genesis because it promised to be flexible for me to use as a developer. I am beginning to see the limitations – alas, life is not perfect.

My own preliminary observations (if anyone’s interested) are that wordpress is incredibly cumbersome for a developer – modifications and changes are tedious and slow – the entire process is probably not justified unless frequent client updates are anticipated. If the only requirement is a blog area, then traditional HTML/CSS/Dreamweaver development is certainly sufficient, with perhaps a wordpress blog for the client added on.

I am currently looking into alternate platforms for site development – I can’t believe how long it has taken me to build a wordpress site compared to developing a site the traditional way. The waste of time and energy is, to my mind, unbelievable. I am currently intrigued by and actively exploring Concrete5 and similar CMS platforms.

I want something that is friendly to me as a developer (which wordpress is NOT, I am afraid to say), and something that can be made to be very simple for the client to update.

You guys haven’t provided it yet, in my humble opinion. And comments like “IE7 is not supported” are not all that helpful, in my own humble opinion.

Just my opinion. You all have your own agendas to follow and that’s cool – but I was hoping that wordpress would be a useful tool for what I need to do for my non-profit clients and now I am not so sure.

Excuse my intemperate reply.

It is a very useful plugin.

Which non-profit organization are you referring to? Plugins (and indeed, the whole of WordPress) are provided by individual unpaid volunteers. There is no “WordPress organization” in that sense.

I was not referring to www.remarpro.com or the developers volunteering their efforts. I was referring to the non-profit organization I am creating a site for.

As I say, my previous message was quite intemperate, born out of the frustration of trying to master something new, I’m afraid. I do indeed appreciate everyone’s collective efforts. And as the saying goes, “it’s a poor workman who blames his tools.”

Please feel free to delete my previous message. I would if I could.
