Title: [Plugin: WP Carousel] Scrolls the embedded videos inserted into posts! on mobile Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP Carousel] Scrolls the embedded videos inserted into posts! on mobile * [valentine2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valentine2/) * (@valentine2) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-carousel-interesting-error-on-mobile/) * Hi! * I really like this plugin, looks great on [my website.](http://filmhungary.vizkult.hu) * I use the **Clear slider theme 1.0.1**, on **Bombax WordPress theme**, and i experienced the follows: * When browsing my site with mobile phones (i tested on android, but web testers said, the problem is the same on iphone), the carousel plugin while autoscrolling,** scrolls the embedded videos inserted into posts** too, not just the thumbnails of the posts, and place them to random positions. * I didn’t need this, and it looks bad. I have uploaded [a picture](http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/6906/screenshot1332664474599.png) to show that to you. * Maybe i should disable the desktop-view on mobile phones and enable just the mobile-view, but i want to keep the possibility for mobile browsing users to see my site at its best. * What can i do to dissolve this bug? Please help me! Thanks! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-carousel/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-carousel/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [sumolari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sumolari/) * (@sumolari) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-carousel-interesting-error-on-mobile/#post-2649048) * I’m not sure about that issue. I haven’t tried WP Carousel on mobile devices. Well, I have, but not having videos in the posts. * I think the easiest solution is disabling autoscrolling when the user is browser with a mobile device. * How to do this? Let’s assume you have a function named is_mobile() that returns true when the user is using a mobile phone and false when he is not. * Open wp-carousel.php and locate the following code (near line 1267): * ``` if (!isset($value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'])) { $value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'] = 0; } else { $value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'] = (int) $value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS']; } ``` * When $value[‘AUTOSLIDE_POSTS’] is 0, autosliding is disabled, so we will have to modify that piece of code to take into account that independently the value set in config, if the user is using a mobile phone, it will be 0. * That is: * ``` if (!isset($value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS']) || is_mobile()) { $value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'] = 0; } else { $value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS'] = (int) $value['AUTOSLIDE_POSTS']; } ``` * How to define function is_mobile()? Well, there different ways. For instace, [this post](http://www.wprecipes.com/how-to-detect-mobile-visitors-on-your-wordpress-blog) shows one of them. * A different solution is hiding WP Carousel when the user uses a mobile phone, but if the problem is solved disabling autosliding, I think this is not needed. * In any case, I’ve plans to rewrite WP Carousel, but it will take a lot of time, so use one of this solutions instead of waiting for a new release. * Thanks for using WP Carousel! * Thread Starter [valentine2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valentine2/) * (@valentine2) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-carousel-interesting-error-on-mobile/#post-2649049) * I’m using wptouch for mobile content. * Can you figure out a method for this sitation? * Plugin Author [sumolari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sumolari/) * (@sumolari) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-carousel-interesting-error-on-mobile/#post-2649050) * I think it’s bnc_wptouch_is_mobile(), but I’m not sure. You should ask the developers of WPTouch for this. * **Edit:** The code of that function is: * ``` function bnc_wptouch_is_mobile() { global $wptouch_plugin; return ( $wptouch_plugin->applemobile && $wptouch_plugin->desired_view == 'mobile' ); } ``` * That function returns if the user is in mobile interface, so you should create a new function, is_mobile() which detects just if the user is using a mobile, no matter he is using the mobile version of the site or the regular one, something like: * ``` function is_mobile() { global $wptouch_plugin; return ( $wptouch_plugin->applemobile); } ``` * I think it should work, but I haven’t tried it. * Thread Starter [valentine2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valentine2/) * (@valentine2) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-carousel-interesting-error-on-mobile/#post-2649052) * Sorry, i’cant follow these steps, i will disable desktop mode on mobile, until a proper update of this plugin. I hoped that the solution will be simplier. 😀 * Thanks for your help and the plugin! * [vivek.khanduri12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vivekkhanduri12/) * (@vivekkhanduri12) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-carousel-interesting-error-on-mobile/#post-2649419) * I am also using theme Bombax but I can’t able to put ads in between posts, can anybody please help me how to put ads in between posts in bombax theme Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: WP Carousel] Scrolls the embedded videos inserted into posts! on mobile’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wp-carousel.svg) * [WP Carousel](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-carousel/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-carousel/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-carousel/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-carousel/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-carousel/reviews/) ## Tags * [embed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/embed/) * [mobile](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/mobile/) * [video](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/video/) * 5 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [vivek.khanduri12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vivekkhanduri12/) * Last activity: [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-carousel-interesting-error-on-mobile/#post-2649419) * Status: not resolved
