Hi. Very nice plugin and I think this would be perfect for wedding-type websites. I’ve got several questions:
1 – Will this work with the latest version of WordPress, 3.6.1?
2 – I notice you recommend 1300×650 for images. That’s a 2:1 ratio. What about self-hosted videos? Videos usually look best at 16:9 or 4:3.
3- I went to thecollectorsunion website and the video was slow to load and it stuttered. That might have something to do with the file size. Can you recommend a video file size for best viewing but fastest loading?
Thanks 
Thanks for taking interest in FBG Gallery PRO version.
Below, we have mentioned the solutions for your queries.
1 – Will this work with the latest version of WordPress, 3.6.1?
YES, It works with WordPress latest version 3.6.1.

You can use any video ratio, but for best result 16:9 ratio is recommended.
3- I went to thecollectorsunion website and the video was slow to load and it stuttered. That might have something to do with the file size. Can you recommend a video file size for best viewing but fastest loading?
For fastest loading please use at-most 20 MB video file.

Hello, my images are being squeezed instead of scaling. Could you please take a look…
http://thecollectorsunion.com/work/Thanks!
Can you please provide us WP admin details to have a close look over the issue.
Please let us know.
We have tested your site with “Twenty Twelve” Theme and with this our plugin FBG Gallery PRO is working fine.
Its seems that this issue is occurring due to “Ultimatum” theme.
To test FBG Gallery PRO you can check it with “Twenty Twelve” Theme.
Please let us know if you have any further issues/quires.
Thanks..

Please use given updated jQurey code instead that you sent.
<script type=”text/javascript”> jQuery(’#video-descriptor-icon’). toggle( function () { jQuery(’#wrapper-6’).animate({ ); </script>

Hi
we are checking out why is that. We will get back to you quick.
We have checked your site but we are unable to identity the reason behind the issue from the front end.
So, can you please provide us your site WP admin details to have look over the issue. Email them to wpfruits@gmail.com

Hi for some reason the player is stuck on “Loading video” on the home page….i only want it to show on the background of the home page. Am i doing something wrong?
http://www.cpmusicgroup.com/CPv2HI
We have tested out your site and found that few jQuery plugins are conflicting with each other. That’s why our plugin is not working properly there.
So, firstly please fix this issue (jQuery conflict) to properly work of our plugin. And if you are not able to fix this, please provide us WP admin and FTP details and we will try to fix it for you.
Please let us know.
Is the video background compatible with iPad/ iPhone because I’ve tried it and it is not working.
Please help, Thanks
It is compatible what videos did you try
I put it here : http://construction3.m.edesigner-test.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Final-EN-Video.mp4
this is the video i’ve tried as a background, in iPad it just saying that “Loading Video” then after that it is all black no video playing at all.
please help, Thanks
Can the background images be clicked so that it takes you to a target page? I think this will be great for marketing purposes – if it doesn’t have, please consider this. Thanks.
Hi! Havent bought it yet, but would it be able to include a replay button and a forwarding to page xy after the video is finished? I´ll only use one self hosted video, fullscreen on the frontage. Best Tom
Hi,
Currently, FBG Gallery PRO plugin having the functionality of adding gallery of images in site background or add a video in site background.
And to repeat video (on/off) option is available in plugin admin section.
But currently this kind of functionality (a replay button and a forwarding to page xy after the video is finished) is not available in the plugin.
And to add this functionality, we will have to make customization over the plugin.
Please let us know about this.
Thanks
I have disabled FBG for all but the Home page. Nevertheless, the SELECT FBG GALLERY FOR THIS POST/PAGE still appears and I have to select the 1st option Check this, if you want to disable FBG Gallery for this post/page. in order to completely disable it. This is a lot of trouble on my e-commerce website. Is there a way I can disable it within my custom page template?
We read your mail carefully.
It seems that you are taking about the “DEFAULT ( GLOBAL )SETTINGS”.
Actually, when you “Check” this option “Enable Global FBG Gallery”, and select Gallery from the “DEFAULT FULL BG GALLERY” then this Gallery works as a Global gallery for all posts, pages and archives pages etc..
So, you can disable Global gallery for all pages and posts by “Unchecked” the corresponding check-box.
But this option “SELECT FBG GALLERY FOR THIS POST/PAGE” will be there ( in post/page editor). Because you can not disable it from “Plugin Settings Page (DEFAULT GLOBAL SETTINGS) ”.
And in Plugin Settings Page (DEFAULT GLOBAL SETTINGS) there is no option to disable this Global gallery for custom page template.
So, to do this you will have to check this option in post/page editor “Check this, if you want to disable FBG Gallery for this post/page.”
We hope it would be helpful to you.
Please let us know if you have any issue/query regarding this.
Thanks..
Hello,
I recently purchased the plugin, and it works beautifully, exactly the way that it is described. The only issue I am finding is that it is cropping the images quite significantly rather than scaling them. Is there a way to prevent it from cropping the images so much?
HI
Thanks for buying the plugin. The plugin does keep the images in proportion so that they dont look stretched. So we recommend you use the resolution closer to 1300 by 650 so that they will look great.
Regards
I edited fbgallery.css to place the previous and next buttons on opposite sides of the page by making .fbg_nav 100% width. That causes every element under .fbg_nav to be unclickable. So, what file do I edit to disable the draggable feature of the .fbg_nav?
PS. Awesome plugin!!!
If you want to place the previous and next buttons on opposite sides of the page, you can do it easily with the FBG Gallery Appearance Settings option, under the Appearance Settings section there is a option Navigation Position, here you can set the place for the previous and next buttons.
And to disable the draggable feature you have to edit the file “fbgFrontClass.php” located at plugin folder “full-background-gallery-pro/inc/front”.
To do this please search these lines and removed completely from the file.
if(jQuery('.fbg_nav').length > 0){
jQuery('.fbg_nav').draggable();
}We hope it would be helpful to you and please let us know if you have any query/issue regarding this.
Thanks, removing the draggable code worked. The options you mentioned only allow both both buttons to be positioned together not separately. I had to make the change in CSS to put the previous button on the left and the next button on the right.
Thanks again for one fantastic plugin!
Actually, that didn’t work because fbg_nav is always a layer above the rest of the content the z-index is changed to -1. Then, I can click on content but the fbg_next and fbg_prev are no longer clickable. I had to remove fbg_nav and put fbg_next and fbg_prev into new divs and modify /inc/front/js/fbgallery.js. It works now.
Great
Hi, I wanted to purchase this but the preview seems to be really laggy to a point of not loading or the one night video becoming stuck and non functional. Any idea why? I just tested a few scenarios to where it could be my internet connection but it’s not after running a speed test.
The plugin is working fine. Some people say they have issue with the youtube video but thats because the video is not allowed in their country or similar reasons but other than that we havent had complaints about the functionality of the plugin
Hi,
I just purchased this and am about to give it a try. I’m sure the plugin will work great and am looking forward to using it.
My comment however has to do with the “look” of the plugin. I’m not a fan of it at all. I find it to be way too colorful and bold. It would have been much nicer to use standard wordpress admin GUI. It would make the plugin far easier to navigate out of the box.
Please consider changing this. As a designer I guarantee that many other users will find the look as a turn off and may choose not to buy the plugin as a result.
Thanks.
Thank you, we will consider that in our next update
Thanks. Please do. I should state for other readers who are looking to purchase this, the plugin is working perfectly well. It does exactly what I want it to do. It’s just a matter of getting the plugin to nicely exist within the WordPress admin panel without screaming for attention.
wpfruists, perhaps if you want to keep your style you can have an option to allow users to switch to a standard styled mode or to the colorful style you’re using now. Just a thought.
soon it will
Never mind…I was able to do it…Apparently, I tried to load the file that I downloaded not knowing that it has two files…the “documentation” and the real file that need to be uploaded…
GREAT
I could not load the plugin…what could be the problem?
Yes you need to unzip the file first.
Hello I have a WP with slider at the top (Slider Pro on one page and Royal slider on another). Would like to put the video background as one of the slides. Is this possible?
Yes it is
OK great! Is there instructions on how to do this and would this slow down my page loading time very much? Are these video backgrounds large in size?
Hi
It wont slow the speed.
Those videos can run from youtube so wont add a loading time. It will depend on the internet speed.
If I show you my site can you tell me for sure this will work and give some instruction how to do it? Are you on Skype? I am ready to purchase your product but need to make sure how it will work.
I think yes I will be able to.
OK How do I contact you privately?
