I have exactly the same problem! It shows fine and rotates the posts in the settings page but just gives me a blank box on the site page. Can anyone help?
Most of the time this issue comes because of plugin conflict or multiple load of jQuery JS. You can test this conflict by deactivating the suspected plugins or by looking into the source code of the page to see whether jQuery is loading for multiple times. That should load only once to avoid conflict.
@Jennifer I can see the Smooth Slider running perfectly on your mentioned URL. @Len you can share your webpage URL where you are trying to embed the plugin.
Ditto. I also tried the Related Posts Slider and encountered a problem. I think it's in the carousel code. I'm getting an error "Object doesn't support this property or method". It points to this: jQuery("#smooth_slider").jcarousel({
I'm having same problem. I uninstalled the related posts widget I had (Linkwithin) and the Smooth Slider installed just fine. I can see it real well and it works fine in the settings page. But, when I look on my Home Page it doesn't appear. My theme is Coraline, WP version 3.2.1. My web site is http://thesilverpeoplechronicle.com. I believe the whole index.php code issue is confusing me. Exactly where must I place the code in the "Main Index Template (index.php)" option box? Or am I in the wrong editing category? Please help!! Thanks a lot in advance. You guys are the greatest. I'm convinced I have the best slider here. Only need to get it to work.
In my case, when I removed this the slider worked, although with an error notification in IE7. I need ajax. for another effect. There must be some work around this conflict. I really like the slider. Any suggestions anyone?
I have the same problem, and I think that it is because of a jQuery conflict....I just can't find the conflict! The site is: http://cm.deviantwebdesign.com. I've used this slider before with no problems at all and like it, so I would hate to have to uninstall and move on, but I may need to. :(
I apologize for the late response, if you are still willing to use Smooth Slider, I would be happy to help you on that. Looking forward to see you using Smooth Slider without any problem.
Likewise. I have installed it, and its there on the settings page. But then I don't see it. Should it just show up at the top of all of my pages/posts? I tried turning off all my plugins to no avail. You mention a jquery conflict where its trying to load too many times. Where in the source code do I tell if its doing that? Thanks! www.whitneyeldridge.com
As I can see you have activated the slider plugin on your WordPress site, and the head section is loading perfectly fine. To show the slider on pages and posts, you will have to either use template tag or shortcode.
If you want the slider on homepage of blog, paste the template tag in index.php To show slider above each post, paste the template tag in single.php To show slider above the pages, paste the template tag in page.php
I think, in www.whitneyeldridge.com, you are using a page as homepage. In that case, paste the template tag in page.php to get the slider OR paste the shortcode in "Illustration" page to show slider in homepage only.
Template Tag if ( function_exists( 'get_smooth_slider' ) ) { get_smooth_slider(); } Shortcode [smoothslider] You an read more about template tag and shortcodes on this page under "Usage" tab.
I have recently installed the plugin to my site and having the exact same problem.It works fine under the preview in settings but not on my site? just stuck on one article.
I don't get any erros at all, it just stays on one article as you will see on my site below;
I'm another having the same problem, on www.freshgreenimage.com - it worked fine when I had 2 posts included on the slider; then I added a third and it stopped. Right now I'm only showing the slider on the Home page and the Blog/post pages - even added the template tag to the page.php file as instructed above, no movement. Help?
In case slider is not moving on pages other than preview, 90% chance is that the jQuery.js file loading more than one time on your site. You can check that in source page of your site and see if HEAD section is having multiple jQuery.js.
