Hi,
As I mentioned before, I need you to apply that template so I can show you how to modify the thumbnail area to accomodate only two thumbnail columns instead of three.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi,
Sorry for the confusion, but you need to first apply the template I had mentioned earlier ( https://img.skitch.com/20120809-j5uyhk76bnntyj89ic1e5egyqh.png ). I can then show the changes that are needed to that template’s code.
In that template, arrows automatically appear to allow navigation through the thumbnails when there are many thumbnails.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi,
If you’d like to use that template, please send the URL of your page with the rotator; I’ll show the specific code modifications that are needed to adjust the thumbnail area’s size.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi,
Here is a Pro template (in the Pro tab in the Layout/Presentation section) that’s very close to what you want: https://img.skitch.com/20120809-j5uyhk76bnntyj89ic1e5egyqh.png
If the number of columns of thumbnails were reduced, would that be what you have in mind?
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi @lutherblissett,
Thanks for using EasyRotator for WordPress. If you can post a diagram of the layout you want, I can let me know if there’s already a built-in template with this design or if we could create a custom template to meet your needs.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi @drbuff1954,
Thanks for using EasyRotator. I’m sorry, but I’m not fully clear on what message you’re receiving. Can you please share a screenshot?

Drew O’NeillHi @cammies
Thanks for using EasyRotator for WordPress. Unfortunately, the
available width for each slide is fixed; thus, either you need to edit
the template to allow more width for all slides, or allow the
landscape photos to be cropped.Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi @webvisuals ,
We’re the developers of the EasyRotator plugin.
There are some serious incompatibility issues with CKEditor because of the way WordPress is engineered around the TinyMCE editor. These issues affect our plugin as well as quite a few others.
We recommend that you consider using Ultimate TinyMCE instead of CKEditor: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ultimate-tinymce/ . It offers many options while maintaining compatibility with EasyRotator for WordPress and many other plugins as well.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi Lucia,
Thanks for using EasyRotator, and I’m sorry you’re experiencing trouble. Please double-check that you have clicked the “Dismiss” link on the installation notification box at the top of the admin screens. If the problem persists, please open a support ticket and send temporary credentials to access your WordPress dashboard; we’ll then look into the issue.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi Shannon,
I’m happy to help!
If you’re interested in the Pro features (marked with “Pro” in the editor), you can learn more about purchasing an EasyRotator Pro site license here. If you haven’t yet rated the plugin, we always appreciate that too!
Sincerely
Drew O’NeillHi,
There’s still a problem with the Elevating Man Lifts section. Here’s the problematic line:
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2c3e80;"><strong><a href="http://www.industrialmaintenanceplatforms.com/category/elevating-man-lifts/'>Elevating Man Lifts</a></strong></span></h4>You have a single quote at the end of the
hrefattribute on the anchor tag, which is breaking that tag; the problem then cascades through the rest of that table cell.When you press the Compatibility button in IE, it provides laxer parsing rules; but that also introduces other problems and so it should be avoided. It’s important to locate and fix all of these kinds of small errors in the page, as they can cause unpredictable behavior in all browsers.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillJust to follow up on your second post (I didn’t see it until I had already posted) —
EasyRotator detects when the rotator code cannot be parsed properly to find the content and the layout HTML. Because IE is more finicky about handling structural errors, when EasyRotator queries to select the DOM elements in your page, IE says back (to paraphrase 😉
“I can’t find anything! Something’s wrong!”
The EasyRotator js file can’t detect for sure what the source of the problem is, so it offers to redirect to that help page to assist you in identifying the error.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi @winowill,
I just looked a little more closely at the validation report and the page code and identified the specific issue. It appears that you’re currently wrapping the rotator
<div>in an<a>anchor tag. For example, just before the first rotator:<a href="http://www.industrialmaintenanceplatforms.com/category/aviationspecialty/" rel="nofollow"><div class="easyRotatorWrapper" align="center"> ...This is not valid (X)HTML and can cause browser irregularities, especially since there are additional
<a>tags within the rotator itself (resulting in nested anchors).Since you have these links set to
nofollowanyway, I recommend that you change the link to a<div>wrapper with anonclicklistener:<div style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="window.location = 'http://www.industrialmaintenanceplatforms.com/category/aviationspecialty/';"> ... rotator code here ... </div>Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi @winowill,
Thanks for using EasyRotator for WordPress, and I’m sorry you’re experiencing trouble. There are a number of issues in the page (unrelated to the rotator) that are causing problem.
First, there are some JavaScript errors: https://img.skitch.com/20120717-ein6pr2h1u65a8ubdcx7yqm78y.png . You can view these in the Error Console in Firefox or the JavaScript Console in Chrome.
When I first loaded your page, the CSS failed to load as well (the page was completely unstyled).
Finally, I notice a number of validation errors that relate to structural issues in the page: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.industrialmaintenanceplatforms.com%2Fhomepage&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 . These can cause problems in any browser, but especially IE. You’ll want to address those.
I also notice that all of the code in the page appears to have been split up (e.g. lines in the middle of tags), but that shouldn’t make a difference.
Please post back if you have any further trouble after addressing all of these issues.
Sincerely,
Drew O’NeillHi Nils,
If you’re having trouble removing the folder, I recommend you SSH into the server and remove it via the rm command (be sure you know what you’re doing before using that command!). The plugin code doesn’t change any ownership of files, so most likely it’s owned by your web server user. If you’re logged in as the root user, you can remove and modify any file on the system, regardless of ownership.
Sincerely,
Drew O’Neill
