Hi,

I’m not sure I follow your suggestion. I know you can add a background image to a div element using css. Is this what you mean? If so which div element do you suggest I target?

Surely the better solution is to amend the plug-in so it pulls the featured image through for the homepage in the same way it does for other pages?

Thanks
Chris

I’m using the plug-in:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/

to do a preliminary check of my site for php 7 compatability.

The plugin throws the following complaints after running:

On examining the code, the plug-in is correct. Here is the first example:
global $$glob_limit,$$glob_orderby;

From the php7.0 manual:

‘global only accepts simple variables

Variable variables can no longer be used with the global keyword. The curly brace syntax can be used to emulate the previous behaviour if required:
<?php
function f() {
// Valid in PHP 5 only.
global $$foo->bar;

// Valid in PHP 5 and 7.
global ${$foo->bar};
}
?>

As a general principle, using anything other than a bare variable with global is discouraged.’

Hopefully this provides you with al the info you need?

Many Thanks!
Chris

Hi there,

So I think my question was not very good and I’ve since done quite a bit of research into this. Here is a complete description of the problem:

I am using tribe_get_events_title(); to generate a second copy of the title which appears as white text over a full width image (created using generatepress). See the url below:

https://www.karlanorton.co.nz/performances/

Now this works great when you first navigate to the page or if you refresh the page form the browser. However, when you use any of the ajax links (e.g. previous performances) or buttons which only do a partial refresh of the page, the function doesn’t re-run and so you are left with the title in white which is no longer appropriate to the content being shown.

Any ideas how to get this working?

Thanks so much!
Chris
