Upgrade creates bullet problems with featured content

[KEVINLIKES]

Hi Sayontan and team
Love Suffusion but when I upgraded to 4.2.0, it added a bunch of bullets below my featured content. I've only loaded two stories there, but it now displays 24, with the new 22 linking to www.kevinlikes.com/#, an extension of my home URL. Any ideas on what went wrong or how to fix this? Thanks again for a great theme.

I'm experiencing something similar over at http://watsoncatholic.ca. The index bullets in the featured content widget are each repeated once.

The same thing is happening if I'm using numbers instead of bullets. For example, if I have 4 featured posts, the index appears as "1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4". The cycling only happens among the first set of 1-4.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much!

Further note (which may make it easier for troubleshooting): I've noticed the same thing happens on the official Aquoid Suffusion homepage slider. http://aquoid.com/news/themes/suffusion/

I have also tried using the latest jquery.cycle (version 2.9999.5 from http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/) and it didn't seem to change anything.

Try this in your custom styles

Code: Select all

.pager-bullets #sliderPager a, .pager-bullets .sliderPager a {display:none;background:none;}

Thanks for the idea. That gets rid of the bullets entirely, though it didn't solve the original issue. Still, it's an ok workaround for the time being.

Just curious if any more ideas have come to mind about this issue. I'm still kinda stumped (admittedly it doesn't take much for that to happen ).

I've attached an image of what it looks like (to me) on the official Suffusion site. (http://aquoid.com/news/themes/suffusion/)

Note the 8 bullets in the featured content widget; the last (rightmost) 4 appear to be a repeat of the first (leftmost) 4 bullets. Only the first 4 bullets are cycled. If you click on any of the last 4 bullets, the corresponding bullet in the first 4 bullets is activated. (e.g. If I click on bullet #7, then the 3rd bullet is activated.)

The screen shot is taken with Safari 5.1.7 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. The same behaviour is also seen in Chrome and Firefox.

Thanks so much for your time.

First of all, I hope your move to Houston goes smoothly! It sounds like you've had a very busy past few weeks...

I just wanted to mention that I've tried the latest Safari for OS X (version 6), and I see the same behaviour. This is true both for the Aquoid Suffusion page (screen capture above) and my http://watsoncatholic.ca page.

Any ideas?

Having the same issue here. All latest updates of WP and Suff. Seems to happen viewing with any browser. Bullets are "doubling" themselves as described by poster above. I have deleted my featured content and rebuilt from scratch but same thing is happening. Looking for a solution but so far the only "workaround" is to not show bullets at all.

I honestly have no idea why this happens - it is erratic to say the least. In 9 cases out of 10 things go by without a hitch, but in the 10th instance you see the bullets doubled. It is one of those issues that I keep at the back of my mind, alert if I ever hit upon a fix by accident or otherwise.

I have found the piece of code causing this issue - why it causes the issue is beyond me, but I do know now how to fix it. It should be gone in the next version.
