Setting up new website which works great but when i add the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin the navigation of the homepage slider is gone?
If i disable the WPBakery plugin it works normal again.
Is there a fix for this?

Site is currently offline (using the Coming soon Mode)!
With added password it’s accessible

Don’t know if the BBQ theme conflicts or the plugin, so i also made a ticket by WPBakery.
When i disable the plugin the homepage slider works again..

Hi,

Thanks for writing. I went through your site and everything seems to be working as it should. It is quite probable that third party plugins may have some JavaScript error and that will break things like the slider, for example.

We, at Nicethemes, use the jQuery version that comes packed with WordPress, following the recommended usage and norms when it comes to coding and standardising things. That makes our themes compatible with any plugin that follows the WordPress standards.

I would wait for the answer by the guys at WPbakery.

Best,
Juan.

Okay i’ll wait for their answer, as said it works okay but only when WPbakery is deactivated..

Thanks for the answer so far…

No problem, I´m happy to help.

Usually, you can use a tool like “Firebug” to check the “console” and see what is causing the error.

Answer from WPBakery:
“I think the issue is because the theme is using the flex slider. You can remove the inbuilt version from the visual composer using: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dequeue_style and using ‘flexslider’ as the handle.”

Looked into the .php file using Dreamweaver but don’t know what to do with it??

I’m using Firebug but cannot see the ‘problem’ there. It can also be my failure 😉

Hi there,

Thanks for the follow up.

It shouldn’t be a problem, we’re using flexslider for the main site slider.

They mentioned to use a wrong function. In any case it would be wp_dequeue_script

You can try this code to avoid loading the flexslider scripts:

add_filter('nice_load_flexslider_js', '__return_false');

This will avoid loading the flexslider scripts, which means, that you won’t be able to use the slider.

Unfortunately the issue is on the plugin side, so if you want to have the slider working you should avoid using the code I’ve pasted above and asking the guys at the WP Bakery to solve it.

Best,
Juan.

Can’t get it fixed…
The WpBackery referrers to…

The code that will go in your theme functions.php file will look something like:

wp_dequeue_style(‘flexslider’);
wp_dequeue_script(‘flexslider’);

I really don’t know how to fix it..

[Remco12]

If i can’t get it fixed i’d like to use the info boxes on the default Homepage. In combination with WP bakery. So if i change my ‘homepage’ to ‘default’ my info boxes are gone…
Content is visible but my info boxes are gone… So that doesn’t help me…
Rest is of the theme/ menu is Okay and works great…

Hi,

Would you please send me your site access details to support@nicethemeswp.com so I can take a look?

Thank you,
Juan.

Case seems to be closed. WpBakery fixed it via ftp script (which i did not understand) so now i have both. The homepage with the slider and WpBakery for editing the pages.

Thanks for the support cas closed!
