Davina, did you ever get this figured out? I have a client with the exact same issues and we haven’t been able to figure it out. And she has a great point: her visitors shouldn’t have to clear their caches and go through all that trouble every time she posts something new. But even then, a local cache doesn’t prevent a new blog post from showing.

I was using the slider, but I can make the carousel work.

That would be awesome, thank you! christina at meynedesign.com

Okay, I found that that’s supposed to be the number of milliseconds, so I changed it from “true” to “4000” but it’s still not autoplaying.

This plugin is absolutely perfect EXCEPT for not autoplaying.

Dude, could you share with me how you turned it on? I’m a newbie. I changed autoplay from false to true, but it’s still not working.

Oh wow, thank you. I read over the docs a dozen times and missed it every time.

Perfect. Thanks so much!

Wow, never even noticed that tab. Thanks!

Oooh, thank you bcworkz! I’ll try that.

graphicscove, yes, it works fine when I add it directly to my themes. I was just hoping to build an optional plugin that could be used with any of my themes. Thanks!

For anyone else with this issue, to keep the image high quality, you have to upload the exact Product Image size.

AND, if you have a responsive theme, you have to override this line:

.woocommerce div.product div.images img, .woocommerce #content div.product div.images img, .woocommerce-page div.product div.images img, .woocommerce-page #content div.product div.images img

And remove the width: 100%. Because, depending on your theme’s responsive CSS, it will likely stretch your image out on smaller screens.

Sorry, I meant to attach a link to my dummy page and I forgot to delete the photos and re-upload them. So that did work.

The 100% width is from Woo. It was stretching it to 420 because that’s 48% of my page width. It just seems like excessive amounts of CSS being applied to everything.

I did get it to use the actual photo by uploading the exact size. You can see it here. WordPress does such a poor quality job at resizing images, so I’ll just have to decide on a width for my theme and never change it. ??

I hate overriding with !important in my stylesheets. But it looks like that will have to be done a lot using Woo.

Thanks again.

Ahh, I kept reading that they had options for the page in settings, and I was pulling my hair out. Apparently that was an older version?

I’ll just have to make my own page then. Thanks Lorro!

I understand that uploading through FTP doesn’t change it. As for the formats, I’ve tried both PNG and JPG, save-for-web and standard and everything in between, all have given me the same issue. That’s why I linked to the screenshot.

On the left is the image I uploaded, on the right is the exact image after being downloaded back through FTP, just minutes later, no changes being made.

But again, it’s not a WP problem either, so it’s only a matter of time before a moderator gets grumpy. ??

They aren’t being uploaded into the media folder, just the theme’s images folder, so, it never gets imported into WordPress…meaning it’s not a WordPress issue! Dur. Thanks for walking me through that. ??

Still at a loss since the image looks crystal clear locally. I’ll go back to Googling. Thanks again.

Yes, so I uploaded the image on the left. It should look that way on the site, but instead, it looks like the image on the right. The image on the right is the exact same image, that I downloaded back from the site.

I don’t understand it either. It looks much better uploaded to Flickr, apparently that’s the way I’ll have to do it…which stinks.

I didn’t think uploading media settings have anything to do with it since I’m doing it through FTP into the theme folder, but I’ll check it out.

Thanks Quin.
