Alrighty then, I think I’ve fixed it though I don’t know if it’s the best way to do it. For others who might have this problem heres what I did:

Add custom CSS as follows:
.description {position: relative}

That seems to fix it. I don’t see any knock-on negative effects from it yet.

Thanks again for your help!

Thank you for responding. I tried with no custom CSS at all and it still has the problem. I also tried it with only the CSS you provided but, alas, it is still doesn’t work correctly. I made sure to clear the cache, too, before retesting.

Update: Now I can’t invoke the “link” tool from the WYSIWYG toolbar. I tried to add a hyperlink and when I click on the toolbar, nothing triggers. I think this is all part of the same issue. Any ideas where to start?

Ok, I think I have it. I removed the File Change check and that seems to resolve the memory error. Not sure why that feature is so resource intensive but it’s resolved for me at the moment.

Thanks, dwinden, for all your tips and clues. It lead me to the solution!

Interesting. It doesn’t happen in IE11 or Firefox’s 35.0.1. from a Windows 8 client and on Mac OSX. In either client, it fails in Chrome. Unfortunately I don’t remember the version I upgraded from so can’t help there.

Checked the plugin and I don’t have backups enabled. I just added the memory code to the config file. Tried 64M – no change. Tried 128M – no change.

I may have to go to the events plugin support next to see if they have any ideas.

Thank you for the excellent information re: backup and memory problems. I’l keep pursing.

It’s on the front-end. Here’s the page where you can see it occurring: https://www.theartistsgallery.com/events/category/member-shows/

Thank you! It sure seems like this would be something others would have asked for before me. I’m hoping there is a solution. It would save me tons of time!

Thanks again, Yannick!

You’re so right. When I upgraded to the latest version of the slideshow, it reset my width settings and also the assigned style sheet. I didn’t catch the width problem. Thanks as always. Your support is top notch!

Thanks for the insights into the new css. I’ve made the change you suggested but now the buttons don’t appear at all.

Here’s the CSS that I have in a “New – Light” style. I’ve assigned the New – Light style to the slideshow that’s running on the homepage.

‘.slideshow_container .slideshow_previous { left: -20px !important;}

.slideshow_container .slideshow_next {
right: -20px !important;
background-position: -19px 0;
}’

This is the only change I made. When I assign the default light style to the slideshow, the buttons appear but they are positioned to the far right/left of the browser screen and not adjacent to the centered image which is what I’m trying to do with the code above.

Thanks again for sticking with me on this. I think it’s close. ??

Ok, thanks for the quick response. I’ll await the updated version with the time is right.

Ok, done. I’ve moved the code to the custom style and taken it out of the functions.css file and all works well! ??

So if I use the !important and remove the _0 in the custom css file, then I don’t need to have the style in the function.css.

Do I understand this correctly?

Um, nevermind. I had been putting the code in the custom.css file. I see that it has to go into the function.css file instead. Once I did that, all is well!

Thank you for a really easy to use plugin and for the exceptional support. All the best of luck to you!

Well duh. Why didn’t I catch that one has to apply the style sheet to the actual slide and that “Default” actually means, default. Geesh.

So, still no luck. I’ve applied the new style sheet to the slide and given the -50 left and right styles for both prev and next as you’ve supplied above but those darn arrows just don’t budge.

What to do, what to do?

Wow thanks for the lightening fast response. I’ve implemented you background suggestion and that works perfectly. I’m having trouble getting the styles to work for the arrows however.

1 – I’ve edited the “light” style sheet with the code above. It creates a new style sheet in the list of style sheets to select from. I think I have to select that new style in the Default Slideshow Settings tab so that it picks up the new style right? I’ve done that but doesn’t seem to have any effect.

2 – I’ve tried using .slideshow_container_0 .previous and .slideshow_container .previous and neither seem to affect the arrow position. What have I missed?
