supportHow do you turn carousel images into links? https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-owl-carousel/
Sorry, you can’t right now. If you still need this, I can add the functionality. Let me know.
So far I love the plugin but it looks like it does not support a larger image when you click on a photo? I want the same functionality as this example: http://www.downtowncolumbiaschotels.com/courtyard-usc The gallery is at the bottom of the page Also is it possible to have arrows instead of the prev or next as options? *note the site example is a Joomla site.
I don’t really want to bundle a lightbox with the plugin but I could add the option of setting the rel attribute so you can use whatever lightbox plugin wiht it and optionally generate links to a larger version of the image. Regarding the arrows, it should be possible right now by overriding the css styles from your theme stylesheet.
Version 1.1.0 is live. You can now choose an image size to link to and also specify the rel attribute.
Thank you for updating. This morning when I went into WordPress to update the plugin it stated it was successful. However the plugin no longer appears in the plugin list, i search for it on WordPress and it states it is installed. The “Owl Carousel” that used to display in the side panel of the admin dashboard is no longer present. I am not sure how to correct.
I tried to download the plugin manually and upload it. WordPress gives me an error and states there is no valid plugin and the install fails
Sorry about this, should be fixed now.
upload error – http://screencast.com/t/vq57XMfWfhY shows as installed – http://screencast.com/t/WelVpOZZadF I tried again and am not having success with this.
Can you go to your installed plugins list and completely remove it from there and then try to reinstall (from the plugin browser, or manually download it again)?
It does not show in the installed plugin list anymore. I re downloaded the plugin from WordPress and re uploaded it. That is the error I get. Not sure if there is a wordpress cache I can clear? I am using a private browser so there is no history being tracked. I have not seen this issue before.
Oh, ok. Somehow the plugin structure got all messed up when I first did the update and now it seems because you have the folder but no correct files WP doesn’t know how to handle it. Do you have FTP access to remove it manually?
I know what FTP is but it’s a bit over my head. My web guy gone for 2 weeks. Essentially do the files need to be moved off the server?
Yes, exactly. It’s really no more complicated than deleting a folder from your own computer. You’ll need an FTP client (such as FileZilla) and your login credentials. Then you’d navigate to your WordPress installation, from there to wp-content/plugins. In there should be a folder called wp-owl-carousel, delete that and you should be able to install it again.
Hi Dabuuker, This upgrade seems very good and useful. however if I use Photon from Jatpack, it shows as link to image the same image size for the carousel. If I set “SELECT SIZE: Medium – which is 600px wide” “LINK TO IMAGE SIZE: Large – which is 1024px wide” It shows in carousel an image of 600px wide and an image for the link of 600px wide (400px H). For better explain this is the code: <a href="http://i0.wp.com/www.lucabottarostudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Fotografie_matrimonio_napoli_reportage_1013.jpg?h=400" rel="lightbox"><img style="display: inline;" src="http://i0.wp.com/www.lucabottarostudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Fotografie_matrimonio_napoli_reportage_1013.jpg?fit=600%2C1024" class="lazyOwl"> </a> Thanks for your attention
Hi, and thanks! Which lightbox plugin are you using? I tested it with https://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-lightbox/ and it seems to work fine ( Test site: http://dev.soronet.com/wpowl/sample-page/ ).
Thanks for answering, I think the problem is not having or not a lightbox, the problem is the link generated to the image using Jatpack: <a href="... .jpg?h=400"> which it override selection choice for the image size. Sorry for my English, I wish you understand! Thanks again.
Hello Dabuuker, First of all, love your plugin. Can you please add image link functionality? It would help me out a great deal. Thanks so much for your work!
