Vantage theme features widget problem

By Steve Oxley, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

I wanted to use the circle icon widget on my Dog site but the ‘paw print’ icon was not listed. I downloaded the widget bundle and activated the features widget so that I could get the paw print.
Everything looked good in the widget preview – circle background colour, icon colour and text orientation.
However, when I saved my homepage and viewed the site the circles are not centered and the text does not extend beyond the width of the circle.
What has gone wrong? I would happily revert back to the circle widget if I could get the ‘oaw print’ icon that way.

    Hi Steve

    Any chance you could set this up for us and send through a link. If your site is live you could set this up on a test page. It’ll help if we can see what’s happening.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Andrew but I have had a change of heart. I reverted back to the circle icon widget and chose alternative icons.
    I would, however, like to replace the metaslider with a fixed image (same size as slides). I tried just using one slide but on mobile devices the image can be scrolled from side to side. How would I do this?
    Here is a link to my site which is obviously in the early stages – http://www.adogsmind.com
    Thanks

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks for the update. Meta Slider sits outside of the content area so adding a single slider would be the best solution here. I’ve asked Tom over at Meta Slider for some help on this. Please leave the slider up as I sent to him as an example. Hopefully there will be something we can do to stop swiping on mobile. I’ll come back to you as soon as i have something. Feel free to bump this thread on Monday.

    Your site is looking great by the way.

    Hi, I Work Here

    It seems there is a fix here. Seems to work on my desktop but haven’t yet been able to test on my phone. To try it out you’d need to install the following from Appearance > Themes > Add New: Upload Theme:

    https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/vantage-child-vanilla-enqueue.zip

    Then with the child theme activated you’d need to head to Appearance > Editor and carefully add the following to the end of functions.php:

    /**
 *  Alter the Flex Slider properties.
 */

function metaslider_flex_params($options, $slider_id, $settings) {
    $options['allowOneSlide'] = "false";
    return $options;
} 
add_filter('metaslider_flex_slider_parameters', 'metaslider_flex_params', 10, 3);

    Please note: It is normal for menu location settings and Customizer settings to reset when activating a child theme. Test this one out before redoing any settings.

    Let us know how it goes.

    (Thanks to Tom over at Matcha Labs (Meta Slider) for the consult on this one.)

    Hi Andrew

    Thanks for the quick response!

    I am already using a child theme that I created so I dropped the code onto the end of the functions PHP. Unfortunately, it has not solved the problem. I have viewed the site in Safari and Chrome on my Iphone and Ipad and the slide is still able to be scrolled from side to side.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Sorry to hear that didn’t work. A much simpler option would be to insert that image into the first row of your home page, assuming you’re using Page Builder. You could then, with Custom CSS say:

    .home #main { padding-top: 0; }

    You could also set the row to full width stretched by editing the row and finding the row layout drop down menu under the Layout tab on the right.

    Hi Andrew

    Thanks! That seems to have worked – no more scrolling image. However, I now appear to have a border around my image that I can’t shift and a metaslider ID just peeping under the nav bar. I have deactivated the slider plugin and changed the settings to None (for slider). So close but I am not sure how to sort these two out.

    Thanks again for all of your help!

    Hi, I Work Here

    Ok so there is a global setting for that border under Appearance > Customize > Page > Image Shadow and Rounding.

    If desired, you can get the image closer to the nav using the Custom CSS I sent.

    Please check both Appearance > Theme Settings > Home AND Pages > Home (right column Meta Slider drop down). You can set the home page slider from both places, the settings don’t currently mirror each other. It’s on our list of things to improve. Those should both be set to None.
