In the general-template.php file, find the boom_nivo_slider_options function. This function outputs the slider options.
Add this after the return statement:
startSlide: ". rand( 1, boom_count_header_images() ) .",
I will add an option for this in the next version.

It would be so big of you to share the codes, I’m no expert in IE problems and I just don’t know how to fix those. So, please do share! ??

Glad to be of help!

You’re probably using the auto insert functionality. The way it works is that in the ‘domready’ event, it replaces the image with the slider html and then calls the nivoslider function on it. AFAIK that’s the earliest event I can hook to replace it, I don’t know if any fix is possible.
But if you use the boom_header_image() function that image does not appear at all. Edit the header.php file and add the template tag.

Make sure you have selected the slider as the header option. The css/js files will not load unless you have selected the slider.
If that didn’t help please provide the link to your webpage to debug it.

Totally compatible. It’s the same, you can select the Background option and choose whether to use a pattern or a background image.

Glad you liked it.
I don’t know why but sometimes the buttons don’t work. Refresh the page see if it fixes the problem. If not, please copy the console messages here so I could take a look.

Are you using the auto insert method or using the boom_header_image() template tag?

@paulgt4rc: You are also using Nivo Slider plugin which load its stylesheet after Header Image Slider so it overwrites the CSS rules. Use one or the other! ??
And about IE, I really don’t know what’s going on, it’s working perfectly fine in IE8 but not 9! Weird weird. I’ll investigate further.

You can use jQuery:
$('div.headerSlider').find('img:first').wrap('<a href="#">');
or something like that.

Currently no.
But I’ll think up about the UI and how to implement it and post it here as soon as I have an idea.

Just give it a high z-index in your CSS file.
Something like:
#site-title { z-index: 999; }

Are you working on a live website? Could you provide the link?
Also, have you updated the plugin? Goto Header options and reselect ‘slider’. Hopefully that fixes it.

I think there’s a problem wwith Custom Contact Forms data picker’s script. That script file fails and stops execution of other scripts in the page. Could you please post the console messages?
And yeah, there’s a bug with default images and child themes. The next version is ready in the next few day, it’ll fix it. Sorry about that.

Update: I tested it using IE Tester with my own theme (which is based on 2011) and it works fine as far back as IE6.0. Please make a test case and I’ll check it.
