Re: BL implementation of WP
Can you be more specific Gary? Are you trying to use a plug-in? which one? what's it supposed to do?
I've tested several plug-ins with the Backlight theme. Most I've tried are working. Might be nice to start a separate thread on plug-in compatibility.

Re: BL implementation of WP
I started out wanting a plugin for 'ken burns' effect. Same thing as above. Worked fine in the standard WP but in BL it does not show up, just the outlines. The plugin is part of a set called https://www.wonderplugin.com/. There are nine in the set, I tried four and all four acted the same way as shown here. When in reg WP they operated exactly as they s should.
Actually, one of the main things about having BL/WP is to extend the functionality by using some plugins. I know you all are working tirelessly on adding capability, but it seems that for the near future it would be nice to have this capability. If interested, they have a free version of the 'ken burns' slider.

Re: BL implementation of WP
I just got a response form the Wonderplugin people. Here it is:
For the slider on your website, there are two issues:
The first issue:
Your WordPress theme is not using the jQuery provided by WordPress system. Instead, it uses its own jQuery, which is against the recommend rules of WordPress.
The latest WordPress is using jQuery 1.12.4. Your WordPress theme is using jQuery 3.1.0. jQuery 3.1.0 has lots of difference with jQuery 1.12.4.
We have updated the plugin and made it compatible with jQuery 3.1.0. To fix the problem, please upgrade the slider to the new version 8.5. For how to upgrade, please view https://www.wonderplugin.com/how-to-upgrade-a-commercial-version-plugin-to-the-latest-version/.
The second issue:
For the slider, in the plugin, step 3 Options tab, Slider Options, uncheck the option Responsive -> "Extend to the parent container height".
If you check this option, you need to make sure the container of the slider has a proper height value.
Our other plugins may also have problems with jQuery 3.1.0. We will check and update them accordingly ASAP.I will check out their suggestions in the morning.
