Slider

I have been using WordPress for a decade… and this theme is driving me nuts. Nothing updates when I update it. I look at the page in a browser that has a cleared cache and it still does not show my changes.

I don’t have any issues refreshing any other page, WordPress or random page, I work on sites all day long and update 100x an hour… and nothing stays in the cache but this theme is literally stuck not updating and it’s horrible because it’s absolutely perfect for what I want to do but I can’t even update it due to this glitch… seems I am not alone…

Not a browser issue… what could fix this? I am looking for other themes, 99% giving up on this theme despite it being perfect for what I need. Sad…

Figured it out. I inherited this site so I’m learning this theme. To add more slides than 3 you need to go to header.php > modify :
<?php query_posts( 'posts_per_page=3&post_type=sliders&order=DSC' ); ?>
to read:
<?php query_posts( 'posts_per_page=4&post_type=sliders&order=DSC' ); ?>
You can also sort in descending (DSC) or ascending order (ASC).

For both changes you will need to make the adjustment three times as the query_posts() functions shows three times in my theme. Once each for the image, caption, and “paging” functions which should all be set to the same values.

Tough to find proper documentation / happy to contribute!

<?php if (is_front_page()) { ?>

      <div id="slider">
        <div class="main_view">
            <div class="window">
                <div class="image_reel" style="width: 2790px;">
                	<?php query_posts( 'posts_per_page=4&post_type=sliders&order=DSC' ); ?>
                    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                    <a>"><?php the_content();?></a>
					<?php endwhile; ?>
                   <?php endif; ?>
                </div>
                   <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
                <div class="descriptions">
                	<?php query_posts( 'posts_per_page=4&post_type=sliders&order=DSC' ); ?>
                    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                    <div class="desc"><p><?php the_title(); ?></p></div>
					<?php endwhile; ?>
                   <?php endif; ?>
				</div>
                   <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
                </div>

            <div class="paging">
                	<?php query_posts( 'posts_per_page=4&post_type=sliders&order=DSC' ); ?>
                    	<?php $i = 1; ?>
                    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
                		<a>" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/#"><?php ?></a>
					<?php endwhile; ?>
                   <?php endif; ?>
            </div>
                   <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
        </div> }?>

Thanks for the pointers. Yeah, I inherited this site and was fearing that they screwed up the theme. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll refresh the core theme and go from there.

Cheers

I’m sorry you still need to open a new thread to discuss this, even if you absolutely know you have the same issue: https://wordpress.org/support/theme/minamaze#postform
