Hello,

I have a Slider Revolution slider at the top of my homepage. I’m having a few issues with it involving WPML multi-languages, resizing, mobile and the main slide editor.

WPML: I’ve enabled the WPML support for multi-language slides. Which works mostly correct, except an certain slides, the secondary language seems to be ignored. I’ve tried deleting the slide and re-creating from duplicating a different correctly working slide and it looks correct in the editor but doesn’t display the correct language when I switch on the live site. Would it be better to create separate sliders for each language and place the correct one on the language specific Cornerstone page?

Mobile: I’ve enable the SR option to not show slides on mobile and slides still are displayed on mobile. I had this working before, but maybe one of the SR updates broke this somehow? Should I try using the X/Cornerstone breakpoint state to hide the slider on mobile only?

Resizing/slide editor: I’m trying to resize my slider to be smaller and in the backend editor I have got the slides looking to way I want with content correctly sized for each of the 4 breakpoints. When I preview from SR it looks correct, but when I look at the slider on my live site, the text alignment is way off and doesn’t match the editor. Very frustrating.

Hi there @ehsd,

Thanks for the login credentials!

WPML: Can you point us to the slides that are not translating? I’ve checked your slider but couldn’t see any duplicate slide set for translation. Also, WPML seems to have a detailed article on how you can translate Revolution Slider into other languages. Duplicating the slider itself is also a method to translate a slider, so if your current method is not working correctly, you may try duplicating the slider: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/creating-multilingual-sliders-with-revolution-slider-and-wpml/

Mobile: I’ve checked your slider settings and it’s not disabled for mobiles (see: http://prntscr.com/aicnm3). You need to make these settings in order to disable the slider on mobiles. Please go to “Layout & Visual > Mobile” to disable the slider on mobiles.

Resizing/slide editor: It seems slider is not calculating the position of layers correctly in the front-end. You can try lowering the layers a bit in the backend to adjust the position in the front-end. So even if their position doesn’t match properly in the backend, they would appear fine in the front-end.

Thank you!

WPML: Slide 1 is a duplicate of slide 8. Slides 5 & 7 load the english version and not the Spanish versions. All slides have an english and spanish version. This can be seen below the slide selection in the section titled “choose slide language”. After enabling Slider Revolution’s WPML option, a new WPML button apears in the aforementioned section and gives you the choice to set slide content as multilanguage or specific for each language enabled in WPML. You must click the language flag, then choose edit slide to view its content. I’m either going to create two sliders (one for each language) or convert the slider over to Layer Slider (as 2 sliders).

Mobile: It looks like it was turned off. I had it on before :/ Is there a way to have only mobile phoe display disabled? COuld that be achieved through Cornerstone’s breakpoints?

Editor: It seems as though SR uses a reverse stacking order (highest = lowest in viewport). So you’re saying I should adjust the layer order in the SR editor or the z-index of the layers?

Hi there,

Another support here

WPML: I think it’s better to create slider per language. WPML creates duplicate of the post or page you’re translating, hence, it’s safe to have separate slider for each translation.

Mobile: Yes, you may use cornerstone visibility option (Section’s Hide Base On Device Width option). To selectively hide section for your target device. Though, the slider options for hiding to mobile devices should work too.

Editor: Not sure what’s the issue, looks okay in the front end checking from my end. Is it the background image size? Would you mind providing a screenshot pointing which is the issue?

Thanks!

WPML: I’m in the process of that now ;), though I have separate Cornerstone pages for the english and spanish homepages and that is the only location this slider appears.

Editor: It is the text on top of the image. They are not aligned correctly when viewed on the page but in the editor it looks correct. I’m probably going to give Layer Slider a try.

Hi there,

Sure, please let us know if you have issues with Layer Slider

Though, I still don’t understand about the alignment for rev. slider. Would you mind providing a screen recording while explaining the issue? Aspect ratio has big rule when maintaining alignment, and maybe it’s the settings your slider need

Thanks!

I haven’t changed any of the slide setting from when the text was behaving correctly. The only changes have been a plugin update. I can sent a few screentshots showing what I see in the browser vs in the back-end editor.

Here are the screen shots.

Hi there,

Ah, because the text is aligned center. I’m not referring to layer alignment, but text alignment such as text-align: center;

I went ahead and edit your second slide’s text styling and added text-align: left !important;

Please check again, cheers!

[ehsdParticipant]

Thanks, but weird. I never set centered text and the editor showed it as left-aligned. This plugin seems to have gotten a bit buggy in the last few updates and several others online have experienced weird quirks and poor performance :/

[RadModerator]

Hi there,

Yeah, I noticed that too. I can’t even find the center text alignment, so I just guessed that and it works. I’ll note that too.

Thanks!

I still am having to adjust alignment of elements after checking the in-browser display. Slide #5 background is being tiled for some reason. The source is set to cover, no-repeat and it is sized to fit the desktop breakpoint (I was able to duplicate another slide to get rid of the problem). I’m just trying to get these to be presentable while I create a Layer Slider version.

Thanks

Hi there,

Yes, that sometimes happen on my end and always end up deleting the entire slide. The changes won’t take effect even clearing the transient. That’s one of the bugs of the current slider. You may try clearing the transient too.

Thanks.
