Please read the instructions.

Set parallax height option to the height you require in pixels. You can not enter a height less than 100px.

If you enter 0 it will wrap to the content. Although the minimum size will still always be 100px.

The full screen option just fills out the content area of the page/post.
This content area is ultimately defined by your theme. A lot of themes have margins built around the content area.

Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done, as the nature of using the shortcode means that it has to reside within the post/page constraints.

You can call the shortcode from php. So if its something like a site header, that will appear on all pages, you can call the shortcode from PHP in your themes header.php. This way you will get ultimate control of its container and how it displays.

Hi,

This is possible.
The plugin works by you placing a shortcode into a page or post where you want the parallax (and its contents) to display.
You can have as many parallax short codes in a single page/post as you like.

In your scenario you will have your single page, with a list of short codes that point to the parallax you want to display there.

Alternatively you can call the shortcode from PHP. So you can build the parallax into your theme (outside of a post/page). This would require some know how of php and your theme.

If your new to this; it will be worth looking up how you use shortcodes in wordpress.

One word of warning however. whether the parallax will display full width of the page is very much down to your theme. If your theme has margins built into it, the parallax cannot go full screen without first modifying your theme.

As for loading times; the plugin uses CSS to create the effect; so it should be pretty quick. Obviously the more you have; the slower it will be naturally but you should not notice. The one caveat is if you use super HD images or large images; these will take longer to load.

Hope that helps?

Hi,
Documentation is in exactly the same place as any other WordPress function.
In the help menu!
Also it tells you in the parallax options that the instructions has been moved to the help menu!

Presuming you have only just started using WordPress. The help menu is in the top right of the screen. It is labelled ‘Help’.

If you are still struggling; please read up on short codes and how to use them.

Hi;
It looks like you have sorted it? please confirm?

Hi,

This has been fixed. There is a strange bug in WordPress that causes un-desirable effects at a certain menu position.

Please update to the latest version to have this resolved.

Hi,
Have you got an example I could look at?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi,

I will investigate.
I moved the menu position of parallax scroll to below the comments menu rather than above it in version 1.2.

I will get back to you.

Hi,

The image size option is meant for users whose image was too large and they wanted to zoom out.

Reset this value to 0 so the image can auto-size it self.

Hi,

To hide the header paste:

display: none;

Into the header style box when setting up your parallax.
Please let me know if this solves your issue.

Thanks, that link looks very promising. I will investigate…

Hi harry,

I agree with what your saying; the typical and most simplistic definition of a parallax is two backgrounds, one moving at a different speed than the other.
This plug-in, at this moment in time, one could argue has had that functionality removed, one could also argue that in fact as its not moving with the page, it is in fact at a different speed.

It has been removed for good reason, I would rather 99% of users have something that they can use that creates an effect they desire (if they didn’t want it, they wouldn’t use the plugin) than having the previous version with all its issues that only worked for 50% of users.

I have also said I will look into implementing the full parallax effect once again when it is in a fit state. I also have plans to allow the user to change speeds for instance. However, I do not get paid for this; I do this in my own time, which there is very little of

You may also notice that there are not many parallax plug-ins that can achieve the same thing as this one (if any). There is a very good reason for this; because its not very easy or obvious to implement.

Conrad-GZ:
Glad the update fixed your issue.

hellohpr:
If the full width is still not working then it is down to your theme.
The parallax can only extend to the full width of the post container. The theme your using must have some margins or a content area size that is not full width.
If you inspect the page; Look at <div class=”entry-content description clearfix”>. This is causing your issue. If that div was full width it would work.
