Home Page – Feature Row and Home Page Text

[Rebecca Morency]

Hi Bill,

When I updated a site to WP 3.6 and Bottega 2.3.2, the feature row is visible, but each box no longer clicks to the post and the hover feature disappeared. Not the feature box, just the hover. I just have a row of 5 images.

The only other customization was text before and after the feature row in Home Page Template. So I removed this text and the Feature Row function properly.

I’d like to have text on the home page. The text was placed before this line of code in Appearance/Editor/page-home.php:

Text

and a line after the feature row before this piece of code:

Text

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Becky

PS Bottega 2.2.1 on WP 3.5.2 with text on home page works fine on another site.

Rebecca,

You’ll need to use the jQuery Update plugin that I made to go with WordPress 3.6.

The source of the trouble is the pop-up lightbox script. The new version of jQuery that’s included with WordPress is 1.10.2 (the old was 1.8.3). The lightbox plugin, uses the jQuery version number to decide how to create some of the elements it uses. The trouble is that while 1.10.2 is a higher version number, it’s not a higher mathematical number. So the lightbox thinks we’re using a really old version of jQuery instead of a new one.

I worked up a fix for the lightbox Saturday evening, but I need to test it just a bit more before I release updates to all our themes. So until then, we have the jQuery update plugin.

That should fix things for you.

Let me know if you have any trouble,
Bill

That fixed it. I thought since the slideshow was working I didn’t need it for this style. Thanks, Bill.
