Yes, you’re right, it was a conflict between Bouquet and Soliloquy Lite (a slideshow plugin). Bouquet worked fine with Meteor Slides, WP New Carousels and Cyclone Slider 2. Soliloquy slides works fine with Twenty-twelve and others. When Bouquet and Soliloquy slides are put together, it is impossible to upload images.

The message I got originally was

Notice: Undefined variable: base in /home2/chanakat/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-base.php on line 24

I checked “Outputs a loading icon while your slider loads to prevent content shifting” but this has no effect.

I understand that “premium” service is given only to users who pay for it.

Even so, any feature which is provided in the free version – like the loading icon – ought to be supported in the support forum. Before trying this plugin, I was very impressed that all posts were resolved. This post has NOT been resolved. Please answer my post even though I did not buy premium service.

I don’t know how to figure out the line number, but it’s in:

.meteor-slides .mslide img

.

I just found out that Dreamhost does not provide a file manager page. I can’t manage without it. I have use multisite, which requires modifying wp-config and adding an .htaccess file. In addition, I have to put in two child themes and a child plugin. Whenever I had to use FTP, which is all that Dreamhost offers, I had great difficulty. My previous host had an easy-to-use file manager. The lack of a file manager at Dreamhost means that I need to get hosting elsewhere. How do I get the refund on the hosting I purchased, as was promised in your 97-day money back guarantee? I understand that the domain registration is non-refundable, and I’m entitled to get only the hosting fee refunded.

I had 500 errors on media uploads and a lot of really weird problems including messed up displays of the WordPress dashboard. All of these problems were due to uploading images that hadn’t been optimized for the web. Are your images 72 pixels per inch? Is the total pixel width and height the actual size you want to display (certainly never larger than a full-size screen)? If not, delete all your images, clear browser cache and cookies, refresh, optimize your images, and then upload them. I think the WordPress Media Uploader should carry a warning about image optimization.

I tried what you suggested offline on a saved full webpage using Firefox browser developer tools, since my old site no longer exists and I’m having difficulties registering with a new host.

Changing max-width to width had no effect on Cyclone Slider 2.

I looked at the CSS code of Meteor Slides, which has an option for either right or left alignment with text-wrapping, which works perfectly. It uses max-width.

If what you suggested worked, it would be easy to implement, since the file to be modified would be the common css file, which is simpler to deal with than the various Cyclone templates. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the solution.

I would really appreciate a reply from Cyclone’s author.

This is great news! I’ve been struggling in 3.5.1 to compensate for Explorer’s oversized audio control being too big for my layout. Only in Firebug (but not in the inline HTML5 audio element code) did I manage to reduce it to the same size as Chrome’s and Firefox’s controls. I’m also looking forward to being able to float the control to the right for my right-to-left site.

I tried SEO by Yoast and found it confusing. It was also accompanied by mailings with a lot of hype. I unsubscribed to the mailings and deleted the plugin.

Instead, I took my brother-in-law’s recommendation to read Google’s own recommendations for SEO. They have an excellent guide in PDF form for beginners. I followed most of their recommendations, and my site moved from page four to page one!

Basically, the idea is very simple: you make a website in order to provide people with information that can help them solve their problems. Your content has to be organized in a way that your potential customers can get easily get the information that will benefit them. You think of what words they’ll use when they make a search for a product or service like yours, and you make pages with titles and text that contain those words (especially at the beginning of the title/text)along with non-keywords. The text must focus on information that will help your potential clients. It’s like drawing a target around an arrow.

What do you mean by altering the output of the plugin?

I have a sort of “child plugin” within my theme, but I’m not sure if any of the changes took effect. In any case, changing max-width to width there had no apparent effect.

Erasing the width setting in the dashboard erased the slide. Setting it to the full width of the content area did not help. This figure defines the area that the element takes up within the content area, and should have no effect on its ability to float horizontally within that area, nor to admit text alongside it without forcing a line break.

The problem is definitely that somehow a line break is being generated, as can be seen from the text being in a separate div.

The value for the inline element width/maxwidth you mentioned is set in the WordPress dashboard when the user adds a slideshow. I searched within the plugin code; every width / maxwidth is 100%.

The answer Lobo Urbano gave is for centering the slideshow. The code to put the slideshow on the right is float: right. The code for allowing text wrapping is clear: none. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get this to work; the Chrome and Firefox developer tools crossed out my attempts to code clear: none, and float had no effect. When I looked at the HTML code, I discovered that the text was in a separate div, not together with the slideshow, indicating that a page break was generated. If anyone figures out what causes this, please post. I’ve been searching this forum and found quite a few users who’d be greatful to get the answer.

That link to the forum led me to a few other users who where trying to do the same thing but hadn’t found a solution. I’m trying out three different high-rated, up-to-date lightweight plugins, none do both shadow-box and text-wrapping (also Meteor Slides and WP-new-carousels). I haven’t yet managed to get any of them modified to my liking.

You can take a look at birthdoulajerusalem.com/cyclone-slider-2, but I as I said, I don’t have the changes to the plugin within my theme, I only tried them with the developer tools.

This site will expire on Tuesday, I’m planning to make a new one under a different domain name. I’m doing testing now with this one.
