Question:
I have a website in progress, I used Wonderplugin for WordPress and as I came across on the development, I cannot get it working.
I already uploaded images and configured everything on WordPress.
I also copied the shortcode to the php page that I am working on. But the carousel does not show up.
Answer:
Normally this problem is that there are multiple jQuery files added to your WordPress.
You can view the HTML source code of your webpage, and check how many jQuery are added in your website. In Google Chrome, you can view the HTML source code with menu View -> Developer -> View Source, then search text "jquery" in the source code.
There should be only one jQuery in the webpage, which is added by the WordPress system.
Some plugins add their own jQuery to the website, and this is not correct. A plugin should always use the system installed jQuery, and the js files added from a plugin will be added after the system jQuery.
A jQuery will destroy all other jQuery functions that are added before it. So if a plugin adds its own jQuery, it may destroy other jQuery functions.
To fix the issue:
In the plugin, Setting menu, you can try to check the option "Add plugin js scripts to the footer". This option will place the plugin js file to the footer and will fix the problem in most cases.
If the above option is not working, you can try to disable all other plugins and see whether the WonderPlugin works. If it works, you can then enable the plugins one by one, and find the plugin that has caused the problem.
If WonderPlugin is still not working after you have disabled all other plugins, then the extra jQuery may have been added manually to the theme or the page, you need to find the code and remove it.

Question:
I am setting up the Lightbox for Video Commercial version on a clients' site and wondered if there was any way to change the default size?
The Lightbox is responsive but comes in at 960x540 default.
Answer
You can use data tag data-width and data-height to change the default size, for example:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YE7VzlLtp-4" class="wplightbox" title="Big Buck Bunny Copyright Blender Foundation" data-width="1024" data-height="576">YouTube Lightbox</a>
Question:
I am considering purchasing the carousel plugin, and I had a question about functionality. This plugin will only work for me if it can be responsive at multiple breakpoints, and I don't see a setting for that.
What I mean is -- I have it set so that the number of visible items is 4. On wide screens it shows all four items, and there's a breakpoint so that narrow screens only show one item. But there is no in-between -- it goes from one to four, which means that at the medium screen widths, the four items are very squished. I would like to add additional breakpoints so it can go from 1 item, to 2 items, to 3 items, to 4.
Please let me know if this is possible.
Answer:
Please goto https://www.wonderplugin.com/wordpress-carousel/ and download the new version 2.1.
In the new version, step 3, there is a new button "Responsive Options", you can choose the responsive mode "Change the number of visible items according to the container size, keep item size unchanged".
You can also change the number of visible items by using the screen size query.
For example, you can change the default visible items to 4, then use screen query to change it to 3, 2, 1 according to the screen size:
{
"large": {
"screenwidth": 960,
"visibleitems": 3
},
"medium": {
"screenwidth": 800,
"visibleitems": 2
},
"mobile": {
"screenwidth": 600,
"visibleitems": 1
}
}
Please note. The above screen query is a json string, the property name must be wrapped with double quotes.

Question:
How can I add download links to the player so my visitor can download the mp3 file?
Answer:
Updated on May 2020: Wonder Audio Player Version 9.6 added 6 skins to directly create audio players with download buttons and social media share buttons. Please view the following tutorial for how to use the new skins: WordPress audio player with download buttons and social media share buttons.
You can add download links to the player track list.
In the plugin, step 2 Skins dialog, please choose a skin that has a track list, then in step 3, Options tab, click the Advanced Options button, enter the following text to the Data Options field:
data-tracklistitemformat="%ID%. %TITLE% <span style='float:right;'><a href='%AUDIOURL%' class='wpaudiodownloadlink' download='%TITLE%.mp3' target='_blank' onclick='event.stopPropagation();'>Download</a></span>"
In the above code, %ID%, %TITLE% and %AUDIOURL% are predefined macro variables. They will be replaced by each audio id, title and audio URL dynamically.

This tutorial guides you through the process of manually upgrading the plugin to a new version. You can follow these instructions to upgrade from the Free version to the Pro version, or to update either version to the latest release.
Before proceeding with the tutorial, we strongly recommend making a backup of your WordPress website.
There are two methods for manually upgrading the plugin to its latest version:
There are 4 steps in this method:
In your WordPress backend, goto the left menu Plugin Name (e.g., Wonder Carousel, Wonder Slider, etc) -> Settings, make sure there is an option Keep data when deleting the plugin and the option is checked. The option is checked by default. If your current version is very old, it may not have this option. In this case, do not use this method, use the following second method instead.
In the WordPress backend, goto the left menu Plugins -> Installed Plugins, deactivate the plugin and delete it. When deleting the plugin, ignore the warning "Are you sure you wish to delete these files and data" and click the button "Yes, Delete these files and data". This is a standard warning from WordPress.
In the WordPress backend, goto the left menu Plugins -> Add New, click Upload Plugin, select the downloaded new version plugin zip file, install and activate it.
If you are using a very old version, you may need to use this method to upgrade the plugin. There are 3 steps in this method:
First please extract the new version plugin ZIP file to a folder on your computer, then upload the extracted Plugin folder to the wp-content/plugins folder in your WordPress FTP server.
When a ZIP file is extracted, some unzip software may add a parent folder outside of the Plugin folder. Please make sure you have uploaded the Plugin folder, not its parent folder.
If your WordPress already has an old version installed, make sure to overwrite the existing folder in the server. Or you can delete the old version files first then upload the new version files.
In your WordPress backend, left menu, Plugins -> Installed Plugins, find the plugin from the list, make sure the plugin is activated. If it's not, click the Activate link.
Question:
I purchased the commercial version of your audio plugin this morning and installed it on a client’s site who uses quite a few audio files. One page in particular contains 10 different audio files. I’m having a problem “loading” the last three audio files in Google Chrome on both a mac and pc. All the audio files work great in IE, Safari, and Firefox. They actually work fine on the chrome mobile application too.
Is there a setting that I need to change to get all the files to load when the page loads in Chrome?
Answer:
The problem is because Chrome has a maximum connection limit of html5 audios.
To fix the problem, in step 3, Options tab, Advanced Options, enter the following text to the Advanced Options tab:
data-preloadaudio="false"
With this change, the player will only load the mp3 file when required, and it will fix the problem.
