OK, that's what I thought. I did that, it did nothing.
Since Soliloquy has no answers as to why, and you have done everything possible to help, I came up with a different solution.
I am using Shortcodes Ultimate instead for the slider functionality, combined with Types and Views.
It is swipe enabled on mobile, which is really the priority here, along with the ability to build sliders from custom content.
I used the Shortcodes Ultimate Extras Add-on and used the Content Slider Shortcode:
The result looks great in desktop and mobile and is swipe enabled:
hidden link
(it has nothing to do with soliloquy even though that's in the slug).
My View settings are as follows:
I checked case stories.
My loop output looks like this:
[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
[su_content_slider arrows="yes" pages="no"]<wpv-loop>[wpv-post-body view_template="SU Single"]</wpv-loop> [/su_content_slider]
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]<strong>No items found</strong>[/wpml-string]
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]
My content template looks like this:
[su_content_slide]
[types field="case-story-image" size="full" align="none"][/types]<div class="case-story-text">
<h1>[wpv-post-title]</h1><p class="story">[wpv-trim-long words="20"][types field="case-story-text" output="raw"][/types][/wpv-trim-long]</p></div>
[/su_content_slide]
My css looks like this:
.case-story-text {
position:absolute;
bottom:10%;
right:20px;
background-color:rgba(0,0,0,.5);
display:block;
width:30%;
padding:10px 20px 0;
}
p.story {
color:#fff;
font-size:18px;
}
h1 {
color:#fff;
}
@media screen and (max-width:800px) {
.case-story-text {
position:relative;
background-color:#fff;
margin-top:15px;
width:100%;
float:left;
}
p.story, h1{
color:#6e6e6e;
}
}
I really hope this helps someone else. Combining types and views with SU is amazingly powerful. The code for the above using only Content Slider from SU would have been many more lines without Types and Views to query the custom post types and let me have granular control over the content template style (the slides).
And most valuable, due to the Views query loop, I can make a change in one place and it changes all slides. Also the client or team can add a case story and it will magically appear in the slide, why I love to use Views in the first place.
