Ho! Ho! Ho! - made my day! :D :D :D

Later . . . . . although it IS weird - being rather old (75) and remembering the days of valve heaters failing and resistors burning out, I do have a built-in hesitation to run 'preview' too many times as I have this - silly - feeling that the software WILL wear out. Irrational, I know, but nevertheless . . . . .

The Backstretch extension has be active on my demo site for almost 18 months and no extension or code is going to wear out or need to re-uploaded ... I was joking! The solution is to look at what changes you have made to the page or website as it is probably one or more changes you have made - by adding another extension somewhere, changing the page settings or something along those lines.

It's not the Backstretch extension it can ony be something you have done to your website or settings, so back track and see what you did.

And to prove that simply make a new project, add Backstretch and set it up like you already have and publish just that page to a folder on your server. It will work for ever.

I didn't make any change I was make site with extension all was looks and work normally, that was work idk maybe one month or so and few days ago I wished to show one friend of mine and I found there is no more background and that slideshow not work anymore, extension was work as background slideshow for pages.

So none of any changes or non of any new upload on site or any was do, I am amateur and maybe it is stupid but those any new JAVA update can do change that script not work normally as before?

And how can I sand you project and site so you can see what I was made.

Easy to see what the problem is...

You are using WWB10 and that uses jQuery 1.11.1 and Backstretch was built 2 years ago and will work with 1.9.2 as that is what was supplied with it. So if it was working a few days ago you were either using WWB9 or a version of WWB 10 that uses an older version of jQuery.

Code: Select all

<link href="mujanmujan.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="wb.rotate.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.backstretch.js"></script><script src="wwb10.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$.backstretch(["images/landscape.jpg","images/382140-svetik.jpg","images/Milk-splash-blue.jpg","images/mlijeko_krava_pasnjak.jpg","images/slika-jagnjeta-sa-majkom-na-travi.jpg"], {centeredX: true, centeredY: true, fade: 2500, duration: 5000});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
All the extensions I produced are WWB 9, or 8 or 7. There are none that were built and tested to work with WWB 10.

Thanks for your time and support, so what is my solution for this?
By the way I have WWB10 since last year and site was made it by WWB10 in all from beginning till the end.

You are likely to experience similar issues with any extension that is a year old or older. Several of my extensions are 3 or 4 years old and require much older versions of jQuery to work. As programs evolve and develop code changes and some is deprecated (made redundant) and new code introduced. So it is enevitable that trying to mix old and new will result in problems.

I don't know what version of jQuery Backstretch can work with. I believe it was good up to and including 1.8.3 but it does work perfectly well with 1.9.2 as that is the last version WWB9 was using at the time I last updated the demo site. I can only summise that WWB 10 shipped with a version of jQuery that allowed Backstretch to work but as WWB10 has been updated the jQuery version has probably increased. So what did work in WWB10 wont work now.

Time to look for an alternative WWB 10 compatible background extension or change the design of the site to use a static background image (no extension required) or plain colour (no extension required) and then adopt a different slideshow extension - start with using the WWB supplied slideshow options. The less extensions you use the less you expose yourself to risks like this.

Thank you very much mate on great support and explanation. And yes I should probably change design again, anyway thank you a lot for time.
Best regards :)

Thanx, great instruction Abendum on optimising images. I've already tested couple of image resizers and compressors both online and computer based software. However, Google advises against placing too many key words (eg. bucket) in Alt="" descriptions. But it's hard to avoid them when you sell buckets for instance. :)

It's a good practice to enable gzip or zlib compression on your server if you are allowed to and add .htaccess file in a website folder. It truly helps to get a better Google Page Speed Insight, Yahoo YSLow - 12-13 points. Great source to check your page score and find possibe improvements:
