Hi -

I was able to get the GK speaker widget to work and it looks great. However, I have 12 speakers and only the same 6 are rotating through for some reason (the last 6 I entered). Is there a way to increase the maximum amount of speakers being rotated through?

Also,

I made a speaker page, (prior to installing the plug-in) to list our keynote speakers. I'd like to change that page to an interactive speaker page like you have on the demo (and possibly increase the size of the bubbles of the two keynote speakers - something I saw someone post on in the forums already). Can you point me to directions to get that speaker page up and running.

Here's the site: https://ipadpalooza.com (speaker widget currently off until I can fix the limit issue)

Thank you.

Hi,

Do you have latest version of the Fest theme, (because we recentle released fix for this issue).

Regarding your second question, this thread should be helpful:

Hi - I have Version 1.4.1 (based on GavernWP 1.8.1)

I'm not seeing an update for that theme in my Dashboard so I assume I'm current. Any other tips for fixing this? Or am I not seeing the latest update?

Thanks for your help!

Thank you! The update helped, but I'm now stuck on what seems to be about 13 speakers rotating. (I have 15 total on the site).

Also, I changed some of the publish times to reorder, which worked initially, but now doesn't seem to be working. It's almost like the plug-in isn't accepting any new data. I even removed the "Speaker" slug off one of the speakers profiles to see if they would drop out of rotation and they didn't. So the widget isn't gathering info anymore.

Q2 - I just need a step-set for how to make the speaker page with all speakers listed in the "bubble" grid. I have a speakers page, but it is static: http://ipadpalooza.com/speakers

How do I make that page into the page like you have on your demo? http://www.gavick.com/demo/wordpress/fest/?cat=87
I think once I have that running I can use your other hints on how to make the two main speakers appear up top with larger bubbles.

Thank you again!

Disregard this first question. It seemed to start working after a little time had passed. Still need help with Q2

Did you change anything in Speaker plugin options? because your speaker category should be listed in the bubbles by default. Could you send me a PM with backend access to your website?
