As I mentioned earlier it is possible to add widgets in some cases but not the important ones.  Try adding the navigation menu widget to the sidebar called ‘About – ADG’ or to ‘Testimonials – ADG’.  I’ve tried many times to add this widget and it vanishes every time I move away from the widgets page.  If I refresh the page it vanishes.

I’ve updated the plugin and the problem is still there unfortunately.  I just noticed that all the widgets that I have been trying to add to the various sidebars are being automatically moved to the Inactive widgets area in the bottom left of the Widgets page.

Since updating Specular I have the following problems:

1.  I have lost my green header colour.  In Header Options – Header Background I have the colour specified as #66ae24 but it does not show on the live site.
2.  The social widgets are not displaying in the Top Header Right
3.  The Completed Websites carousel (clients) on the home page no longer works and displays incorrectly.
4.  A grey box has appeared on the home page and is covering some of the text.  I cannot get rid of this.
5.  The Codeless Slider no longer works.

Hope you can help with the above.

Item 1 – not sure how that option came to be turned on.  Before the theme update it must have been off as I had the green header and then after the update the colour changed.

Item 2 – Sorry about this, it must have been a browser caching issue.  It’s now ok.

Item 3 – Many thanks.  It looks good now it’s working again.

Item 4 – Again, my apologies as it must have been cache related as it’s now finally gone!

Item 5 – Yes, although I had just the one slide it was continuously showing a loading icon which has now vanished.

Thank you for being so patient with me!

Hi,

I just added 2 more slides to my Codeless home page slider so that I now have 3 but the slider does not move and is stuck on just one slide.  How do I start the slider moving please?

Thanks.

I changed it from false to true but unfortunately the slider is still not showing the other slides.

Ok.  Thank you, yes it’s working now.  Last question on this hopefully – how do I slow the slider down please as each slide moves on to the next too fast?

Also, how do i change the order that the slides appear please?

I tried deselecting the images and then reselecting them but that did not work.  I then created a new Codeless slider and added the slides in the order that I wanted but didn’t work either.  I have cleared my browser cache and also viewed the site on a new computer so I know it can’t be a browser caching issue.

The order of slides should be:

1.  Computer Repair
2.  Web Design
3.  Data Backup

Also, changing the slider speed to 100 for example does not seem to make any difference.

I noted your point about new questions – my apologies.  Should I add the above as a new question?

Thank you for trying to slow down the slider – unfortunately it is still way too slow – not enough time for visitors to read the text and take action.  The speed needs to be 1/4 of what it currently is so that each slide stays still long enough to help visitors.

I had already tried the plugin ‘post-types-order’ and it does not work.  Not sure what to do now – should I use another slider – I think I’m out of options.

I need the slides to change slowly please.  The slowest speed of 100 is still too fast.  I need customers to be able to read each slide before it moves to the next one and also to allow enough time for the slide content to fully load.

With regard to the ordering plugin I didn’t notice the re-order menu option appear.  I was looking elsewhere for the option to re-order.  Thanks for showing me.

Thank you for adjusting the speed for me – I wasn’t sure on the correct numbers to use.  However, the slider is still moving at the same speed!  I’ve tried on several computers and cleared the cache but no difference.  What is the limit on how slow I can make it run please?

Ok.  I’ll wait to see the result of the setting change before I decide if it is slow enough.  I’ve also asked my web host if there are any performance issues that need investigating.

No problems with the hosting.  Despite setting change on the slider there is still no noticeable change to the speed.

Thank you for sorting that our for me.  It’s worth also noting that the behaviour of the slider is different in Firefox and Chrome.  The transition between slides is much quicker in Firefox when compared to Chrome.  It’s not a problem for me as the slide remains visible for a while before changing.

Thanks again.
