In the Origami theme, I built a home page layout with page builder, and put a gallery/slider with some images in it.
I have the following 2 problems:
1) If I use the “gallery (PB)” widget, I get the following problem:
it is not possible to click on the left-right arrows to get to the next/previous image from the gallery.
the same if I click the dots at the bottom of the gallery
the PB gallery widget has no customisation regarding transitions (like “fade”) or regarding the time of displaying each image.
2) if I use the “meta slider” widget instead (as Greg recommends it in another thread), the result looks absolutely the same as when using the “gallery PB” widget.
Even if the meta slider has a lot of customisation possibilities, none of them is shown finally in the website:
– the origami theme seems to override the settings for “fade” and just jumps from one image to the next, with no fading or any transition
– the arrows or dots are still not clickable
if I use the “save and preview” option in the “meta slider” widget, it shows me preview that works fine, but in the real site, it does not work.
I also tried to follow the recommendations from here:
Page: Galleries
but there is no possibility to do it (if I go to text mode in the wp page editor, there is just a lot of code, but no wordpress “shortcodes” there, as the documentation of origami suggests…)
Hi Horia
Your home page gallery arrows and dot navigation are working as expected in OS X Chrome, latest version. It’s possible there is a browser issue there.
There are no settings for the built in Origami gallery.
If you’re inserting a gallery via Page Builder and want to revert it to a default WP gallery you’d need to insert it via the Add Media button in the Visual Editor widget. The Visual Editor widget will give you an HTML tab where you see the gallery shortcode and add type=”default” if you want to revert the gallery.
How are you inserting the Meta Slider? Try inserting it using the Meta Slider widget. If the Origami gallery is taking over please try de-activating it under Appearance > Theme Settings.
dear Andrew,
thanks for your reply and recommendations!
Regarding the Origami gallery activation that overlaps the Meta Slider – thanks for the hint! It was checked, indeed. I unchecked it and now it works better (in some browsers perfect, in other less).
I tested the gallery under various browsers/OS, it seems not to work in all of them. I will revert soon with more details, for your information.
Super, glad to hear you’re making progress there.
