Divi Carousel Lite – Make Carousels for Divi 5

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

175 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 127 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words).

   On Divi 5, enabling and inserting this plugin on the site caused numerous things across the entire site to break including all counter boxes, and any box that had a background pattern glitched where the box’s text sent behind the background pattern. Huge mess. All of the above was fixed when the plugin was deactivated.

   I’ve spent many hours trying to get this to work for me, then the images started displaying at random sizes despite all being the same dimensions. I had to copy and paste the settings of another image in the Divi Lite settings window to fix it. All the images had the same settings before, but something seemed to have upset it, so I had to go back in and set it right again. Time will tell if I have problems again. When it works, it looks good.

   It’s nice that this plugin is included within Divi. Anyway, I don’t like the configuration. If you add different sized images and set the maximum size of images, they are getting cut at the top and bottom. Instead, they should change the height to a max height which is an easy programming step. Until this is not fixed, I will not use it. This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by Enwikuna.

   Como ya han comentado, el complemento ha dejado de funcionar y ha generado conflicto, los errores son los mismos que señala el comentario anterior. Ha tocado desactivarlo y buscar otras opciones, estábamos a punto de lanzar el sitio. Una pena. This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by lleveroni.

   I’ve used this plugin on 2-3 sites but have noticed, as Sebastian has already said, that this is now causing a conflict with the Divi Theme and makes it impossible to access and edit website Pages. Everything else works OK (when the plugin is Activated) so hopefully it will be resolved soon. Unfortunately I need to update the site so will probably have to look for an alternative 🙁 Here is the error log – if of any use to the developers…Error Details An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 2949 of the file /home/website/public_html/wp-content/themes/Divi/includes/builder/class-et-builder-element.php.
