Simple WordPress Themes

Hi,

I just installed Orion today and am having issues getting pics to show up in my slider.

Hi, It doesn’t look like any slides are assigned to that slideshow. Can you verify?
If you’d like to PM me with a temporary wp-admin account I’ll be glad to look into it for you.

Casey, you helped me fix this last time…but I don’t know how you fixed it. I’m having the exact same issue trying to set up a new site, aspenpolice.com/safestreets - could you walk me through how you fixed this?

Thanks
Blair

First, create a few “slides” and assign them to a “slideshow”:

Then, you can insert slideshows within content or in the featured slider Widget:

Hi Casey - these are the original directions I followed. To no avail. This is the same problem I had last time…not sure what my deal is?!

Are you referring to valleymjcouncil.org or another site? It looks like it’s working on my end. If you’re referring to another site, can you share that link please?

Yes, sorry. It’s aspenpolice.com/safestreets - sorry about that.

No problem. If my memory serves me correctly, the last time I just had to assign the slides to the slideshow. Can you verify that your slides are assigned to the slideshow that you’re displaying?

Yes, they are assigned to a slideshow.

That’s very strange. There are no JS errors and the markup is rendering with empty slides. Can you PM me with a temporary login so I can take a look?

Ok, just PM’d ya.

The account you created for me doesn’t allow me to do anything but view my own profile.Insufficient Priveledges

My apologizes, just changed that. Sorry!

How did you do that? Am I just completely missing a step?

You should be good to go. It was a bug with hyphens the slideshow slug.

The slideshow slug should be a single word with no spaces or special characters. The reason is for CSS styling and javascript targeting. For example: “homepageslideshow” is valid, but not “home-page-slideshow”.

I’ve added a regex to automatically strip that stuff out, so if you’d like to re-download the theme and replace /orion/lib/functions/content_functions.php, then you won’t be plagued by this in the future.

Thanks for your patience.

Thank you…that’s all I needed! It automatically assigned that name, but now I know better. Thanks again.
