Is there a way to achieve this?
Thanks
Already answered in email 🙂
Hi there,
I’m a recent user of WP Slide Up box, it’s been a great experience so far.
Just wanted to ask you guys: is there a way to change the original black color of the slider?
Cheers
Victor
Hi Victor,
In the current version the easiest way to do so is to add a custom class to the box, e.g.
[slideupbox id="XY" class="my-yellow-box"].Then in your CSS you can add styles to the .my-yellow-box class, like:
.my-yellow-box .cover {
background-color: #ff0;
}
If you need further help with how to add custom CSS to your site, please be patient, I’m planning to write an article about it soon. And as you are not the first one who asks for this option, we’ll add an easy set-up for the colors in the next major version.
Hi Victor,
Just put together an FAQ page for the questions like this:

Hi Ervin, thanks so much for your time and support.
I’ll check this out.

Hi Ervin,
It works fine now on my mobile phone and tablet. Thanks!
Hi Ervin,
On my site http://www.phkwadraat.com on the page “Vrienden”the plug in does not work on my tablet or mobile phone. It does work however on my desktop. In the mobile or tablet mode it shows in the right bottom corner a link symbol. But clicking on it has no effect. Can you help?
Hi Bas,
Indeed, this is a bug in the plugin. I’ve found the solution for it, will upload the fixed version tomorrow.
The bugfix version is uploaded!
I’ve found that there is possibly a character limit for the description of 150 characters. If I type anything more than that, the Image is not saved/uploaded. Or if I type less then try to update after it’s been created it just goes back to the previous type. Is it possible to have more type? Right now the most I need is 250.
Hi Pamela,
I’ve had a look at your website’s source. It looks like you are using an older version (0.21 or older) of the plugin. These old versions saved the texts into the database and had some limitations.
The newest version doesn’t have that limitation, however, you’ll have to change the shortcodes somewhat:
– what you want to see in the title part needs to go into the title=”xyz” attribute
– what you want to see in the description part has to go into the desc=”xyz” attribute
– the link URL has to go into the target=”xyz” attribute
You can find more guidelines for the customizations on these pages:
https://a-idea.studio/a-boxes/customization-and-usage
https://a-idea.studio/a-boxes/how-to-use-wp-slide-up-box/
There are other benefits of upgrading to a newer version, too: e.g. better support for mobile devices and touchscreens, better security, etc.
There may be other changes need to be done for better compatibility. Feel free to contact us at if you need more help with the transition to the new syntax.
Hi Ervin, to supplement. The page “Zaalverhuur” with internal links do work. It is about the page “Vrienden” with external links that do not work.
Hi Bas,
I’ve just tried the external links, and all of them work properly here. However, I had issues with internal links, all were pointing to the same page I was on (http://www.phkwadraat.com/vrienden/).
Is that the issue you are facing? If yes, it would help a lot if you could share the shortcode with me which is not working.
Hi Ervin,
Here is the shortcode that i’m using in the widgets for “Vrienden”. This is the code for the first slide on row 1. But all the slides target to the external site.
[slideupbox id="334" mode="bottom-up-part" title="Sparkling People" desc="Een sprankelend, vierstemmig, pop- musicalkoor uit Oosterhout" target=" http://www.sparkling-people.nl/" alt="Sparkling People" size="medium"]
In this shortcode I can see a space character before http://…
Try removing it!
Your so right! It works fine now! Thanks for the quick support!
Hi Ervin, The slide box is not working properly on a site of mine http://www.phkwadraat.com . The link to the third party website does not work when clicking on it. Has it to do that i’m using WP 4.7? I have recently updated the plug in to version 0.4.
Hello,
My site’s WP Slide-up boxes are not working properly in internet explorer 11. http://www.ridgemotorsportspark.com
They are huge and off.
And in Microsoft Edge, 2 of the images don’t show up.
Can you show me how to fix it?
Hi Minh,
Thank you for contacting us. I’ll investigate your issue in the next 24 hours and get back to you.
Hello, here is what I’ve found so far:
» In IE11, if you add the following CSS rule, it will be resized correctly:
.wpsub-boxgrid .wpsub-background { width: 100%; }(by default the size of the image is used for the whole box, but this rule will make it use the 100% width of its container)
» I’ve also tried it in Edge, but couldn’t make the images appear. Maybe this is the issue?

(it looks like all other browsers find the image, but somehow Edge can’t – really weird…)
Anyway, I sent you an email asking for more details…
Gray color of the box is displayed at the bottom of the image.
I don’t want to see this.

Hi Kei,
I wasn’t able to test it, got the following error message after typing the password:
—
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /wp-login.php on this server.
—
Can you provide me a public link to the image, please?
I had to release the password lock.
Can you check it?
Hi Kei,
Sorry for the late answer, was on a holiday. As I can see it happens because your “.entry-content img” element has a bottom margin.
To fix this, add the following rule to your CSS:
.wpsub-boxgrid .wpsub-background { margin: 0; }
This is a quick fix to the issue, I’ll try to add a general fix for it in the next version.
Thank you very much.
but I’m not familiar with CSS.
I will wait for the next update.
Hi Kai, the new version is released now with the margin issue fixed.
Hello, This (great) plug in (WP silde up box) is not working properly with WP 4.6 . Will this be resolved shortly? Hope so, because i want to use it verry much. Even want to pay for it! Can i hear from you soon?
Hi Bas,
I’ve just released a bugfix version (0.3.1). Please let me know if it resolved your problems.
