In reply to: [Virtue] Flex Slider transitions not working in IEHi Kevin, the password has been removed from the site and I can post a temporary link now if you have a second to take a look? Thanks!

In reply to: [Virtue] Portfolio image quality degradation on grid pageThank you Kevin, but isn’t GIF the preferred file format for web images since it allows for transparency and also is lossless? I have always used GIF and the default setting for Photoshop when “saving for web” is in GIF format as well. I will definitely try a different format, just confused as to why this is the first I am hearing of this…

In reply to: [Virtue] Portfolio image quality degradation on grid pageHi Kevin,
Take a look here. Look at the top center image for example, and you will see some red streaking and graininess. If you click on the actual image to view the page, the full size image looks fine. All of them have similar issues.
Thanks!
Thank you EmmaL! I don’t know why I didn’t get a notification of this reply, but I appreciate the response.
I had previously recreated the testimonials page and named is /customer-testimonials which had corrected the issue, until the next WP upgrade. Interestingly enough, the last time it did this, it was only temporary and eventually ended up correcting itself. The inconsistency is the biggest problem for me, if it were consistent it would have been easier to pinpoint and fix.
I will try your suggestion with the redirect and see if that works for me. Thanks again!

In reply to: [Virtue] Flex Slider transitions not working in IEYeah, I reviewed that again as well prior to posting my last reply. I guess that is where the confusion comes in, as I interpreted it to mean a complete set of credentials (i.e. a wordpress username and password) as opposed to just a text string that must be entered to advance to the page requested, since those are easy to circumvent and are not considered “login information” by any standards I am aware of. But I certainly don’t want to stir up any issues, so I will reach out to one of the mods and see if they can provide a definitive answer on what is and isn’t allowed 🙂
Thanks Kevin!

In reply to: [Virtue] Flex Slider transitions not working in IEThanks Kevin, I was only talking about view access to the site, not actual WordPress user credentials. There is a very basic string being used mostly just to block search engines from indexing the site until we go live. Do the same stipulations apply? I’m pretty certain you can be trusted as well, but I would never give out login information for an account with any elevated permissions, no offense!

In reply to: [Virtue] Flex Slider transitions not working in IEHey Kevin,
I can definitely give you access to the site, but it is currently password protected and the customer hasn’t authorized it to be published yet. I am not seeing an option to send private messages or emails via wordpress.org. Would it be possible for you to temporarily add in an email address on your profile and then delete it again after I grab it?
Ben,
That last solution is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!! I appreciate the response on this, totally forgot that I could also hook this into the header, I was so accustomed to doing it the other way. Anyhow, this works perfectly and thanks again! You guys rock and I’m still pushing to have this client purchase the paid version of your theme, I think it is well worth it!
Thanks Kevin, appreciate the update and your help thus far! Like I said, I’m sure that plugin would be fine for some applications, but if there is any way I can avoid it for this particular site I would much prefer that. I’ve been rather busy lately so haven’t had a chance to dig deeper into this, but I look forward to the developer’s reply. Thanks again!
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the additional info. I checked out that plugin, and it looks like all it does is embed the @font-face CSS at-rule within the individual pages that can then be called by inline CSS or within the style sheet by specifying a class or id for the text. I can accomplish the same thing by manually embedding this code within each page, but this is not a very efficient method of serving up fonts and wouldn’t be considered best practice. Furthermore, when using this method, you also run a higher risk of dealing with fallback issues. While this may be a quick solution for certain users who meet a specific criteria, my application is sensitive to the performance issues that can arise from using this method. This doesn’t even take into consideration the fact that this plugin is buggy, quite intrusive, useless unless you purchase premium API keys (who needs conversion when you already have fonts in the proper format?) and it doesn’t seem to remove cleanly….all things I would prefer to avoid.
For something simple such as adding a font, I hate to be at the mercy of a plugin that while it presently works with this theme, could stop working at any time in the future. Surely there has to be a practical way for someone who knows what code they need to add to front-load fonts with this theme?
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the prompt reply! Inline styling works fine, but it is specifically the font-family property that is not working correctly, since the font itself is not being loaded by the theme. I suppose I could use a plugin to accomplish this, but I really try to avoid this practice whenever possible, particularly when something like this can be accomplished with some simple code. Surely there must be a way to add these fonts to the list of those queued up by the theme in the dynamic header, right?
