Video slider problem

[Cristina Di Mauro]

Hi Bill!
I have a site with foundation theme and I have a problem with the slideshow on the home page.

I explain:
It’s a video slider, one video. From a few days (since I upgraded to wordpress 4.2.2) the video no longer see. The video cannot be seen neither with chrome neither with firefox.

I have other 2 sites with foundation theme (One of them: http://kenya.docusound.org/). Here I have not done the last wordpress upgrade and I see the video.

What can be? How can I fix it?

I hope that I explained well.

Thank you!

Good Morning Cristina,

Sorry for the trouble there. I took a look and dug through the source code of your home page a bit and I believe I’ve tracked down the trouble. The social sharing toolkit plugin is loading a bit of javascript with its icons in the page content widget that’s keeping the slider from working.

I noticed if I took out this line in the code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//www.linksalpha.com/scripts/loader_iconbox.js?v=2.3"></script>

the slider would pop up again (https://support.organizedthemes.com/samples/foundation/docusound.html). It looks like that script loads a version of the jQuery javascript library (it runs things like our slideshow and lightbox) directly from Google instead which works a bit differently than the one that’s bundled with WordPress. That’s my initial hunch as to why it breaks with the script.

I would either turn off those icons on the home page, or switch to a different plugin for sharing and see if that doesn’t take care of it.

Let me know if I can help,
Bill
