It would have been good to get some response to my 2 support tickets...
But in any event, at least we've seen a rapid response (that hopefully will work) to a problem that should have been spotted earlier. Unfortunately, not before I have spent a day switching sites over to using 'excerpt' as a stop-gap (which now will all have to be switched back).
Of course, my mistake was to have upgraded immediately, what was I thinking - I should have known better!
Update: This problem does not occur when "excerpt" is chosen in the Featured Post widget (I am using Lifestyle Pro). Previously I configured the widget using "Content Limit". However, although the videos are at the top of their posts, the google maps are at the bottom of their respective posts. It would appear there is a coding problem here that pulls embedded content into the widget. Quite surprising this was not picked up earlier, especially with regard to the video element.
Anybody have any ideas about this? I'll put in another support ticket meanwhile.
The good news is that the issue referred to in my post above has been solved in the short term by the deactivation of the Filters Add-on, which brings back the images in the Media Library. Here is the answer to me from Thomas Griffin, the creator of Soliloquy:
"The Filters Addon has been deprecated until I can reconfigure the filter processing to use the latest updates using WP_Image_Editor. Removing the Filters Addon should fix the issue. Backwards compat with the Filters Addon is baked into the upgrade, but I have not been able to get that addon back running with v2 yet."
Meanwhile, apart from the procedures I outlined above, all went smoothly with my upgrade, and the new version is undoubtedly faster, with some useful practical additions and improved GUI.
Cheers,

To add to my post above, although the sliders are working well (very fast to load), a problem has surfaced. Here's a copy of the query I've made on the Soliloquy support forum:
"Slight problem…I’m on Centos/LiteSpeed, using WP Multisite with multiple sub-blogs under one domain, running Genesis Lifestyle Pro. I discovered that when upgrading to Version 2.1.9 I had to have Soliloquy activated on the main blog (although not used there) before I went through the upgrade process on each sub-blog. Soliloquy is not network activated.
I had to re-enter my activation code, refresh the add-ons, and then everything went through OK. It was necessary for me to reconfigure the size of each slider to return it to my specs. The addition of the gutter control was welcome! I have not discovered how to set a default size so far, so had to put in all my settings.
Everything appeared to be working fine. But I then discovered that the WP media library was now blank, showing no images. If I disable the plugin (I have a test blog) the images re-appear.
Solution anyone?!"

Yes, Nick created it, as I remember. I try to avoid still more plugins (not very successfully!) and find that it's easier to just write a new CSS file to do what I want. Once I've sorted out the way the child theme is organised, that is! Thank goodness for Chrome's "Inspect element" in the Developer''s Tools...
Sorry, should have come back earlier. The solution to this is to scrap the Style Select plugin and to use the Theme Settings header code insert box to load the style sheet, e.g.:
<link rel='stylesheet' href='http://www.travelsignposts.com/wp-content/themes/lifestyle-pro/style.css' type='text/css' media='all' />I simply used a different style sheet for each of my sub-blogs. Sometimes the most obvious solution is the best!

Any developments on this?
I have successfully been using Nick's Style Select plugin on 27 sub-blogs on the same domain, each with a different CSS (Lifestyle 1).
BUT, I am currently in the throes of upgrading to Lifestyle Pro, and to my horror the plug-in, although showing the selection box on the Genesis themes setting page, and allowing me to choose my alternative style sheet which is properly listed, seemingly fails to save the settings and defaults to style.css.
As yet, no solution suggested in the WordPress Support Forum though. The plugin was very convenient, but is there another way to provide alternative css choices, I wonder?
