Problem with Elementor 3.28

    When updating to Elementor V3.28, the Media Carousel Widget from Elementor doesnt work anymore.

    It searches for a file at elementor/assets/lib/swiper/swiper.js but the file doesnt exists, it is in the folder
    elementor/assets/lib/swiper/v8/swiper.js
    Disabling the Visual Portfolio plugin solves the problem: the Elementor Carousel appears fine.

    I solved the problem temporarily by copying the swiper.js and CSS files up one level, but this not a long term solution.

    Elementor V3.28
    Visual Portfolio version 3.3.12

    I noticed that in the file /visual-portfolio-pro/core-plugin/classes/3rd/plugins/class-elementor.php
    there is some kind of hack that changes the path of the Elementor swiper.js

    Any idea?

    Thanks, Stephan

    So the problem is because Elementor changed the swiper feature which is not experimental anymore and VPPP doesn’t detect it.

    If anyone has the same problem, a temporary fix is to edit the file /visual-portfolio-pro/core-plugin/classes/3rd/plugins/class-elementor.php and add this code after line 124:

    Line 124: $e_swiper_latest = \Elementor\Plugin::$instance->experiments->is_feature_active( 'e_swiper_latest' );
    // Add this:
    if ( version_compare( ELEMENTOR_VERSION, '3.28.0', '>=' ) ) {
       $e_swiper_latest = true;
     }

    Make a copy of the file before, just to be sure

    Hi:

    This is great and thanks for sharing! I just had a client site experience issues with their Elementor Testimonial and Image Carousels (broke the site really bad, everywhere we are using those widgets). They are the only client I have that also runs the VPPP plugin.

    I assume there is a chance changes like this will be overwritten upon an update to VPPP? Hope the developer can weigh in with a more perm solution.

    Thanks again!

    Make sure automatic updating for this plugin is disabled, until we’re sure it works with Elementor 3.28!

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I encountered the same issue, but I managed to resolve it using the code suggested here. After doing so, the carousel started working properly.

    However, I am still experiencing a problem with post ordering. No matter which ordering option I choose—whether by date, ID, or any other criteria—the order does not change as expected.

    Could you help identify the cause of this issue and suggest a solution? It would be great to understand what might be interfering with the post ordering functionality.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    It works great now!

    After this last update I had to recreate a carousel on the fly, because the previous one kept giving me problems with the order of the items (even clearing the caches etc.).

    Many Thanks,
    Kind regards
