They will need to examine any errors that come up in the Javascript console, or see if they can find another way to load the script for one slider without the other.

This is outside of the scope of what I can recommend here. The plugin is fairly limited in scope to allow it to be moved around or styled to match themes, but it won’t work in every case. This is something where a developer with access to your site would be able to solve the problem, but I can’t test the fix directly on your site to see if it interferes with anything else.

This will remove the scripts on the plugin, but keep the styling that comes with it.

add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘obm_remove_rpf_scripts’ );
function obm_remove_rpf_scripts() {

if ( class_exists( ‘Recent_Posts_FlexSlider’ ) ) {
global $wp_widget_factory;
remove_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, array( $wp_widget_factory->widgets[‘Recent_Posts_FlexSlider’], ‘register_recent_posts_flexslider_scripts’ ) );
}

}

Hi Angelo, thanks for confirming. The issue is what I figured: both sliders use the same script. There are a few ways to fix this, but they’d all involve some custom code on your site. Either disabling one of the scripts, or renaming one of them to have it load the other script.

This could be done a few ways, but one that I can suggest is editing the plugin to remove the line add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', array( $this, 'register_recent_posts_flexslider_scripts' ) ); in the plugin file recent-posts-flexslider.php, which is line 61.

This isn’t the best way to do this, but it’s the easiest that I can recommend without changing up the theme or something else on your site.

Hi Angelo, the reason for that kind of conflict is if the same slider is loaded on a page in multiple places, as it would be with this plugin and the big slider. I have it setup to allow multiple sliders on the same page, but it won’t always work with sliders from another plugin/theme loading.

Can you send a link to the site that it’s on for me to see how it’s running?

Hey aloe1, if you put that code into your theme functions.php file it’ll stay there if WordPress or WooCommerce get updated, but not if your theme gets updated.

Thanks for the snippet, that did the trick. I was worried that I’d have to go a bit deeper to get that back.

I understand the consolidation, this just happens to be on a store that receives a couple dozen orders per day and makes a note for all actions (billing, printing shipping labels, shipping, etc), with customers sometimes making notes when they place the order. They’re used to the workflow of scanning orders for customer notes.

Thanks Caleb, I mean #2, a customer order note. All notes in the new columns display together, which is making it hard to find all notes made by customers.

Much appreciated! I’m still going to try to get the PHP version updated, but in the meantime this helps.

Correct, and I’ve put in a ticket, as I didn’t realize that this client’s host was on such an old version. I’m fully in favor of them updating the PHP version. I realize that this is your decision, but would you consider backwards compatibility there?

In the meantime, I’m going to get my mind blown by a large US web host using such an outdated version of PHP on their standard account.

Hi webxcrawler, the description of the plugin specifically states “The slider exists only as a widget”. Can you let me know why that would cause a negative review? Did you have any trouble setting up the plugin or styling it that I could help with?

Thank you for letting me know, I’ll look into this for the next update. The slider looks good on your site!

Hi Jen, are you referring to the excerpt that displays below the post title? This option exists, and is checked on to a 20 word excerpt by default. As long as the post has some content it should pull from there.

The title can be stretched using CSS in a couple of different ways.

Good suggestion, I’ve just added it to the plugin description.

This is currently a bit beyond my skill set ?? I’ve given a look into this and creating other importers (like the Pocket one that I mentioned), but my REST API knowledge is low.
