Master Slider as Page Header.

OK... the problem was in MasterSlider new update... they changed some resizing settings. I have managed to solve it.

Sorry for this :)

No worries - glad it's fixed :)

Hey Tom, I am using Masterslider and I am actually having a problem. I'm using the shortcode in the Header content tab for my home page but when it appears on the page the text and links that i added to the slides themselves appear formatted to look like my widgets. (the links are blue and the text is smaller than what it looked like in the slider preview). BUT when I view the home page using the Appearance->customize option in wordpress - the slider goes back to looking exactly like it did during the slide preview.

Please help,

Rylan

Any chance you can link me to the site?

Its actually offline at the moment - But I fixed it by switching 'global layout settings' to 'content (no sidebars)' in my "sidebar layout" option in the edit homepage page...

Do you know whats happening?

So removing the sidebar changed the formatting inside your slider? No idea why that would happen - would have to see it live to inspect the code I'm afraid.

Are you using a regular shortcode in the Page Header metabox? Or a widget shortcode?

Well there actually wasn't a sidebar to begin with. But there are settings called Sidebar Layout with the following options:

Global Layout Settings
Content / Sidebar
Sidebar / Content
Content (no sidebars)
Sidebar / Content / Sidebar
Sidebar / Sidebar / Content
Content / Sidebar / Sidebar

I switched from the first option to the fourth one. I'm using short code... [masterslider id="5"] in the page header metabox. The same problem occurs when I insert the shortcode in the GP Hooks.

But anyway I'm happy for now. Until I want to use a sidebar on the homepage I guess...

And actually I just noticed it still isn't working properly... The linked button still shows up in blue text.

I'll put the site online for a day or so...

ps only the first slide applies. The linked button text should be white in colour. Instead it's the same blue that's in my widgets.

And the words "Have you", "Philosophy" "style" and "vision" should be the same size as "recently reinvented your life".

Definitely something going wrong here...

Hmm, maybe try adding something like this?:

.ms-container .ms-btn-container a:visited {
      color: #FFF;
}

SOOO close tom! If fixed the linked button colour, but the additional words are still not the right size.

BUT strangely, when I view the page preview in appearance->edit CSS AND in appearance->customize, it shows up exactly how I need it! It's just the live page that shows up differently!

Could you possibly slow down the transition between slides? Super hard to debug when the slide changes so quickly.

Thanks!

Hmm, those text sizes seem to be coming directly from the slider - there's no conflicting GP CSS getting in the way of displaying them properly.
