I cannot get slider to show in a page or widget.
I created a page and added a views block, then set it up following this tutorial: hidden link
The slider shows on the page where it was created, but when I add it as a view to the home page or a new page as a view it does not show.
Website: hidden link (not working - slider should be showing where the empty black space is just below navigation)
Page where slider was created: hidden link (working)
Page with added slider view: hidden link (not working)
My theme is Mai-Law, which is a child theme of Genesis
Hello,
I have checked the URL you mentioned above:
hidden link
In my Chrome browser console window, I can see the those slider images are loaded in browser, it seems there are some CSS issue in your website, which hides the images. see screenshot: silder-images.JPG
Please try to fix the CSS issues, if you need more assistance for it, please provide your website credentials in below private message box. I need to test and debug it in a live website. thanks
Thanks for the details, here are what I found in your website:
1) You are using Blocks editor to create/design the view block "slider home header":
hidden link
2) But you put above view's shortcode in a page, which is not using Blocks editor:
hidden link
It conducts the problem, view blocks works only in Blocks editor, for example this page created with Blocks editor:
hidden link
In your case, I suggest you try to design the problem page (hidden link) with Blocks editor, and test again.
I can not describe how much I absolutely hate toolset blocks!!!
So, basically, what you are saying is that I cannot use my theme's home page as it works in very specific 'sections' and, whilst wpviews would have worked, blocks doesn't as it needs a specific block??
Very very disappointing and confusing. I can not find much in the way of tutorials and it appeared that you simply click on 'Fields and Views' and add your view anywhere, but you are saying you can not?
So presumably, I now have to go and find a different plugin to create a slide show?
As I mentioned above, view block is based on Blocks editor, if you want to display a view block, you will need to display it in a Blocks editor. Without Blocks editor, it will conduct unexpected problem.
And in your case, since you don't want to use Blocks Editor, you can still create/design the views with classic editor, for example:
1) Dashboard-> Toolset-> Settings-> General, in section "Editing experience", enable option " Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build"
2) Then you will be able to use classic editor to create the view:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Views
Then put the view shortcode [wpv-view] in where you want.
