Additional Gallery/Sliders

[SRVIVR]

Bill,

I am driving myself out of my mind here. First I thought I had a simple plugin that wasn’t playing nice. But after trying 4 different types of sliders/lightbox galleries, something must be bigger going on here.

Any time I insert a gallery on a page/post/widget, it is there, but it never shows.

Ideas?

You can view the hello-world default page to see what I am talking about

I’m not certain. How are you inserting the gallery? What’s a URL on your site where you’re expecting to see one that you’re not?

[SRVIVR]

As a shortcode. You can see the issue at http://www.bootsnsaddlesfolsom.net/hello-world and also at /sample-page.

Also, no other plugins gave me an alert, but the one I am trying now (and we are fiddling with) states that:

get_footer() or wp_footer() call is missing from the template!

Not sure if that is a real issue, but I thought I would throw that in the mix as well.

I noticed if I take this line out of the plugin’s stylesheet, I can see the slideshow:

div#nextend-smart-slider-1.nextend-slider-fadeload{
	position: absolute; opacity: 1;}

You might try adding something like this to the theme’s style.css file:

div#nextend-smart-slider-1.nextend-slider-fadeload {
	opacity: 1 !important;
}

Both get_footer() and wp_footer() are used in the theme. Wouldn’t work without them. Have you tried one of the more widely used sliders like MetaSlider or Soliloquy?

[SRVIVR]

I tried several. 4 to be exact. I will try those 2 and see if one works. With so many not working, I felt it maybe was conflicting with the theme somehow.

I will follow up again if needed.

Thanks for your always prompt help and responses.

All seems fine now. Thanks.

On a side note, you should list other plugins that work well with your themes. 😉

Glad to hear all is well now. Enjoy your weekend.
