WordPress Themes

Hi, I just installed Orion and set up a simple slide show consisting of 3 pictures.
I have set it to autoplay, but it is not.
It just sits on the first slide. Here’s the code I enter into the web site content.

[raw][slideshow effect=“slide” category=“3” width=“600” height=“250” autoplay=“2000” speed=“1000” pagination=“true” prevnext=“true”][/raw]

The web site url is http://www.smb-search-appliance.com

Thanks.

Are you sure that you have the proper category ID selected?

Yes, I think so.
I used the Slider button to post the slide into my web page and that is the number it posted when I selected the slide from the drop down menu.

If you can post a link, I could probably be of more help.

It could be one of two things:

1.) Slideshow Category ID is wrong. You can test this by hovering over the Slideshow link and look at the “&tag;_ID=” url parameter to make sure you have the correct category ID set in the slideshow shortcode. I like to use the WP show ID’s plugin which shows an ID next to every post, page, category, slide, etc. (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-show-ids/)

2.) JavaScript error on the page. This can sometimes be caused by another offending third party plugin or your slideshow category slug is named with illegal characters. Make sure the slideshow slug is a singular word e.g; “homepageslideshow”.

Here is my link to a page that uses the slide show:
http://smb-search-appliance.com/insightnew/

The slide show at the bottom I posted using the slide show button in the visual editor.
The one at the top I modified from the default that came when I picked “insert content’ from the menu.

See number 2 above.
insight-slide-show should be one word no spaces, dashes, or underscores.

Thanks.
I just created a new slide show and called it SlideShowDemo.
Not something is ‘sliding’ at least.
But still not working correctly.

Hold it. I just removed the 2nd slide from the page and now the first one seems to be working correctly.

Is there a way to pause the slide when it’s done playing?
I would like it to autostart but then not to restart when it’s done.

You shouldn’t need to create a new slideshow. Just change the slug.

Is there a way to pause the slide when it’s done playing?

No, there is not. You can set autoplay to false, though.
Once the user has interacted with the slider, it will automatically pause.

The slider is based off the one found at http://slidesjs.com/.

There are programmatic methods to do advanced scripting on animation complete, but that is only after each slide.

how do I change the sequence?

Thanks for your help.
Freezing at the end is not possible - understood.
And the trick with the post time to adjust the sequencing worked great.
I had queried for ‘slide sequencing’ but hadn’t found any posts.
Thanks for pointing them out.

No problem. Glad to help.
