WP-Backgrounds Premium 2.5 released!

19 May 2012 / 0 Comments /in Updates/by

We released an update for WP-Backgrounds Premium (v2.5.0.0).

Changelog for version 2.5.0.0:

  • Improved background image fallback for visitors without javascript (noscript fallback).
  • NEW: Added option to use CSS3-Background fallback instead of the current noscript fallback image. The advantage is that you’ll get perfect results on all CSS3-Browsers, the disadvantage is that older browsers don’t support this code.
  • NEW (beta feature): IPhone/IPad fallback – A few users have problems to use the background slideshow with the ipad/iphone because of the theme and/or plugins they use. This option will deactivate the standard background image slideshow and will add a CSS3 background image slideshow instead. The advantage is that this slideshow should work fine with the iphone/ipad regardless of the themes and/or additional plugins you use. However be aware that it’s just a fallback and the css3 slideshow doesn’t offer all feature of the standard slideshow (i.e. you can’t change the transition, randomize slides or deactivate the slideshow feature) and it doesn’t support the API functions which allow you to control the standard slideshow. This option will only affect visitors who use the iphone/ipad to view your website. Feature is tagged as “beta” because we couldn’t test it on an iphone/ipad.
  • Added support for the pro version of the “Attachments” plugin. You can now select a specific instance or use the default wp-backgrounds instance. Only use this option if you own the pro version.

08 May 2012 / 0 Comments /in Updates/by

We released an update for WP-Backgrounds Premium (v2.3.0.0).

Changelog for version 2.3.0.0:

  • NEW: Added option to deactivate/activate the slideshow feature. This option is useful if you want to to display one image instead of the slideshow. You can e.g. combine it with the “random slide” option to display a random image which changes on every page refresh.
  • NEW: Added option to deactivate/activate the slideshow autoplay feature. Attention: This option is only useful if you use the the API to control the image slideshows with links.
  • NEW: Added option to hide post meta fields. Very useful if you want to protect the meta field values or if you use the meta field values for custom data (better overview because of the lower number of custom fields). You need to activate this option (WP-Backgrounds > General Options).
  • IMPROVED: Added instructions to the documentation oregarding the use of the API javascript functions to control the slideshow (Next Slide, Previous slide & Play/Pause slideshow). Please note that it’s just an api and our plugin does not provide controls out of the box. However you can bind these API functions to every html element of your choice.
  • IMPROVED: Improved option saving function a bit to avoid big array indexes.

I get several user requests per day (I’m administrator & head of support in wordpress theme & plugin support forum) about plugin suggestions so I decided to create a tutorial post about this topic. Please be aware that it’s my personal opinion. I know there’re hundreds of plugins out there and every plugin has advantages/disadvantages.

I tested all plugins I mention below with free and premium themes – however I can’t promise that they work with your theme(s). I’ll maintain this list and I’ll add new plugins I think you might be interested in. You can suggest plugins by posting a comment :)
