3 reviews of “Touch Slider for Vantage”
It does what it says! Perhaps a way to scroll the image on SOME of the listings would be an improvement. Or a way to charge a fee to have an enhanced scrolling listing would be good.
I brought this plugin for my Vantage website. It works perfectly. It is a great addition and the look of my site is definitely improved with this.
If your looking for a Vantage slider look no further 🙂
I am very pleased with this plugin, it provides the functionality and design that I was looking for.

Most of the businesses in my country have rather long names:average of 32 characters. The longest name in your demo is less than 20 character (The Samurai’s Sword). Can you please include a 40 characters name in the demo site. I’ll like to see how it looks like.
Hi realsolution:
I have edited a listing named “Kimchi King First Professional Restaurant”
Thanks, I can see it. It still looks ok.
Does this only appear on the home page?. If so can it be customised to run on every other page?.
It appears on the top landing sidebar that appears in home page only, but in case you add a new custom sidebar in the haeder, the widget will appear on all the pages, so answering your question, yes it’s possible !
Regards
Is that difficult to do?.
No it’s not difficult but it requires some basic wordpress skills, it can be done in 3 steps
1- creating a new sidebar
2- placing the sidebar code in the headeror any other place
3- Drag/drop the slider widget into that sidebar
Following this tutorial, You’ll be able to do it http://www.tastyplacement.com/add-sidebar-wordpress , and at any point you face difficulties, we’ll be there to provide help.
Cheers
Thank you, I am going to buy it now.
you are welcome 🙂
I have purchased this and it’s working great. However the pictures look ever so slightly stretched. Is there a fix for this..?
Thank you for purchasing our plugin
Could youd post your url?
via pm 🙂
I have checked out your website and the images look fine, we used the crop option for the thumbnails and it makes them fit the container of the box in the slides.
For your other question, I will take a look at it tonight, but i would appreciate if you can create a thread telling how you added the sidebar so I can find it easily in the code.
Also the tutorial will not be lost when I have to empty my inbox
Cheers
i added it as per the tut you linked me to…
I edited the function.php file
Alright, I’ll take a look.
@aj270303 : It’s done.
I have edited 2 files ( functions.php and header.php)
Hi.
I deactivated the plugin as i have a problem with the header menu. (Not related).
When i re-activated the plugin the widget is not there.
Help 🙂
Hi aj270303: I have checked your website widgets dashboard, the widget is there.
You edited the header , so you erased the code I added yesterday, for this you cannot see the new sidebar although I have asked you to keep that piece of code I added in functions.php and header.php , so i has nothing to do with the plugin or the widget because the widget is there.
ohhh yeah apologies, there is a problem on the header when you add a banner ad. For some reason the header menu bars Homepage tab drops out of sync with the rest..?.
I tried to instal the latest dev build to see if it fixes it but yep you guessed it, it hasn’t.. I’ll replace the code. many thanks. Pls also see your pm’s.
If you get the codes, so no worries, You can update the files and whenever you finish add them there.
I am glad it’s resolved.
Cheers
Hi,
Would the slider work for featuring events as well?
Hi,
For now it’s not an option but we will add it in the next release.Our customers will get an instant free update anyway.
Regards
That is a very good question.. If you want to see the slider on a live site go here..
http://carpfish.co.uk/
Do the category featured listings also get added to the slider or just the homepage ones?
Thanjks
Hi badmaash,
No, only the featured listings on the home page.(since the slider displays only on the front page)
Regards
Hi Spartac… what if I want to display only featured listings on the homepage as the scrolling listings? how will I go about that
Hi Smallz,
Could you please explain more ?
The plugin itself displays the featured listings on the home page !
Cheers
I want oly the “featured listings” to slide, not all of them. Thats what I mean…
The slider is making only the featured listings to slider, it includes only the featured ones, not the regular listings.
Has this been updated recently. Waiting for infinite scrolling and if possibile an option to have it scroll in the ad pages too 🙂
Hi Mark,
It was supposed to be updated lately,yes but we held it up for while.
I will rush my team to – at least – release the second vesion which was ready since so long. The guys wanted to give something big to not update it frequently and only include the major updates.
I’ll keep you posted.
Cheers
Hi
I got a problem with this plugin.
If no featured ads are available then this slider does not show and neither does the map on the homepage.
If I delete the slider widget then the map is displayed on the homepage again.
Please help why this is happening?
Thanks
B
Okay so I moved the slider widget below that map widget and the map shows even if no featured listings are available.
Why does having the slider above the map cause problems when no featured listing are available?
Thanks
Hi,
if you don’t have any featured listings, don’t add its widget because it will show nothing , only the arrows and this breaks the map bellow.
Use the slider only when you have featured listings to show.
Regards
I have a multisite setup. I made one ad featured on the second site but no slider appears. Do i have to have more then one featured ad?, or is the fact it’s multisite means i have to add code or do something?.
Hi Mark,
The plugin works with MU. You have to add at least 3 featured listings for them to slide properly.
each site is treated as separated site, if you place the widget to the site 1, the slider appears in the site one front end.but the site 1 must have featured listings at first place.
Regards
You’re the best 🙂
PS i sent you a mail the other day 😉
You are welcome.
you sent it to contact@ ?
Sent it to the one that begins with Ra,
I have re-sent it 🙂
Ah alright, if it doesnt bother you, please send it to contact @ jobthemes.com , Ra had a tragic loss at his family last week and He barely connect these days, I am his co-worker.
Regards
Ok will do, my name is mark so you know my mail
Thank you.
Is this slider ever going to have infinate scrolling
yes we will add this as an option for the next release
Will this work with the “Directory” child theme? I’d like to use this style for the featured listings in the same way as well.
Utahseopros,
Directory theme has its own slider which comes from the same plugin.
But yes it works with directory theme. We are actually preparing an update for it which will be released in couple of days, it will include few minor bugs’ fixes and an enhancement to make this plugin works perfectly with directory theme.
Cheers
Has there been any developments on an update adding this function to event listings also? This is the primary focus of our site and we would really like to add this plug-in…
Hi qrtstry, We finished with the update and now we are testing the plugin with vantage and wp 4.0
As soon as we finish the review we will update it in the marketplace.
Regards
Love this feature, I use vantage and the flatpage child theme, this should still function correct? I’m code ignorant just a content person, want to make sure before I buy. Thank you
Hi Pascale,
yes, our plugin works perfectly with flatpage. I tested it myself.
Regards
Hello, does this work with “mapsuprime” running on the pages as well. I am not sure that is what the app is called, but it is on the top of the page here:
http://www.reservestudy.org/listings/category/reserve-study-providers/
Hi,
Yes,The featured slider works together with the mapsupreme.
Both are plugins for vantage and they can be used as widgets to be placed on the header sidebar.
Regards
I purchased the item and tried to move the zip folder out of my “downloads” folder. Vantage/Wordpress rejected the instal twice. I repeated the download, repeated the instal, this time directly out of the download folder. It worked.
HOWEVER, now the vantage theme is giving me an “internal error” 500 message, “Internal Server Error” 500
“The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.”
Usually these error messages go away after a couple of hours. It has been almost 3 now. I will try again in the morning unless you have suggestions.
Hi Resevestudyorg:
This is something related with your host !
how many featured listings you have?
if possible create a new thread in the plugin’s forums so we can follow up with you.
Cheers
Hello! I would LOVE to buy this plugin.. but I need it to only display one particular category rather than featured listings. Is that possible?
Hi dforsythe,
It’s very possible but no option available for now. You’ll have to edit the query function to fetch the ads from that category instead of the feared listings.
The code is not encrypted so you can apply any changes.
Regards
Hi,
Is it possible to show bigger pictures, by changing a parameter or some code? It seems to me a little small.
Hi
Yes it’s possible to show bigger images but still requires some custom mods (php ones) it’s easy but still take some time.
email us at support @ jobthemes.com so we will see how we can help You
Regards
the image
/wp-content/plugins/featured-slider/grab.png
lead to 404
Hi
I will take a look and fix the issue if found.
You can upload an empty file named grab.png to the plugin’s directory to fix that on your website
Cheers
This causes a conflict with site navigation.
If this is activated, on the page buttons at the bottom, clicking on next does NOT take you to the next page. It does NOTHING. If you de-activate this plugin clicking on the next button take you to the next page as it should. Running latest Vantage theme with latest Bfinder.

Hi Mark,
can you email the admin access of that website?
Tabber For Vantage 1.1 is not auto updating to 1.1.3
is it normal?
tradeamillion, it’s not normal, notify the plugin’s author and/or appthemes about it.
Cheers
