since this plugin is no longer in development, editing the plugin files seems like a decent way of fixing errors that have arisen due to wordpress updates.
here’s what i did to fix the shuffle issue of snivo:
? go to plugin editor
? select ‘simple nivo slider’ from your list of plugins
? make sure you’re editing ‘simple-nivo-slider.php’
? navigate to line 222 where you will see…
? query_posts($query);
for random order:
? query_posts($query.”&order=ASC&orderby=rand”);
for reverse order:
? query_posts($query.”&order=ASC”);
and so-forth and so-on…
cheers!

]]>I do not have featured images on my post in the theme…so this won’t work!
]]>Why can i not move the slider above my content. There was a post from a while back about thew same issue but was closed WITHOUT a solution. No matter where i put the short code, it always appears above th content. I have tried creating divs around the slider and the content and floating them around each other but to no avail.
Please Advise.
]]>One is free, the other for sale, but I can’t see what the differences are (apart from $).
They seem to be made by the same developer and to have the same functions.
Are they exactly the same?
If not, what’s the same and what’s different?
]]>The shuffle feature is not working ever since the wordpress 3.5 update
]]>Trying to run this on a multi-site domain. I can see the <SCRIPT> in the header but it is pointing to the wrong location. For example:
It is:
<script src="https://www.xxxxx.ca/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/raid/sites/xxx/xxx/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simple-nivo-slider/nivo-slider/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js?ver=3.3.2" type="text/javascript"></script>
when it should be:
<script src="https://wwwxxxxxx.ca/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simple-nivo-slider/nivo-slider/jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js?ver=3.3.2" type="text/javascript"></script>
I have hard-coded the correct location for now.
]]>I am using a photocrati theme and in the simple nivo slider configuration page, the select category option shows no categories which I have set up in post categories. What am I missing?
]]>it’s not working on 3.4.1
there is no options of nivo slider
]]>I’ve used this plugin on one other site just fine. However on another site the initial image and caption load fine, but then the caption changes and the image does not. This puts image and caption out of sequence. On the next change, both image and caption change.
Thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
]]>I need to change the order of the slides? It is loading slides newest to oldest, I’d like to either switch that, or determine the specific order? Is there script in the plugin files that I would change this in? If so, which file? Thanks in advance for your help.
]]>I am using a theme that has a responsive layout, for mobile phones, etc. Anyone know is there a way that I can use this plugin for the slider and make the dimensions responsive to the page width?
]]>First – it looks like a very nice plugin.
I’m using Hebrew/Arabic site admin (RTL), after installing the plugin it changed the admin to LTR.
]]>Featured images don’t display. I’ve set the slider to use a category that I know has posts with featured images in. What else am I supposed to do?
]]>Hello!
How i can add randomStart, like in Nivo Slider?
Great plugin. Is it possible for carousel like thumbnails below the image rather than the dots ?
]]>How would I get this to show slides from a custom post type? When you choose a post category it displays all of the categories under “posts” but does not show any of my custom post types or their categories. Any ideas on what I might need to change to make that happen?
]]>Hi, Simple Nivoslider works great in IE 9 and others. However, doesn’t show-up in IE8.
I’ve messed around with calling jquery.nivo.slider in the header, but haven’t had luck getting it to work. I did notice that the nivo slider packages are older than the newest release. Not sure in this case it would be helpful to update (Don’t want to break what is not broken).
I have searched the internet and noticed there is a diverse amount of responses to this subject. I am wondering if anyone can suggest a TOP 5 list why Nivo Slider might work on everything but IE 8.
Thanks.
]]>I was wondering if there is a way to set the size of the slider to specific measurements? I have used the Image Slider option in the admin section. But I cannot seem to get the slider to be a specific height and width.
]]>Hi
I am trying to use the Simple Nivo Slider with a custom post type. I have the post type set to use categories, and when I call the plugin and then look at the code in Firebug I see the posts, but the image location shows up as “undefined” – or rather the url for the background-image shows “https://www.mysite.com/undefined”
If used with a regular post the plugin works fine, but for the sake of the client I would rather have a custom post type with a much simpler interface….
any ideas?
]]>Hi!
Thanks for this great plugin.
I’m wondering how, using post thumbnails, avoid the images of the slider to be linked linked to the image post. I would like no-links at all…
Any suggestions?
Kind regards.
If I turn PHP error reporting on in .htaccess, I see the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function has_post_thumbnail() in /wp-content/plugins/simple-nivo-slider/simple-nivo-slider.php on line 229
I am using WordPress 3.2.1 and have just installed the latest version of Simple Nivo Slider, which is v0.5.6.
After it is installed, I configure it to display 3 blog posts of category “Image” each containing an image with dimensions 960 x 304. None of theses posts have post titles – the title is blank, as I don’t want any text to display.
The slider does not display at all. The source code shows it is being included okay.
The plugin page at www.remarpro.com says it is compatible with WP v3.2.1.
]]>Thanks for the easy to use plugin Thomas, just one question, is it possible to use the Featured Image size instead of the Full image size?
]]>Hello! Nice plugin, thanks.
I want to use Simple Nivo to display my portfolio so I created a category called “Featured Images” and made a post (with no content) for each slide image.
However, I don’t want any of this to show up EXCEPT in my slideshow (embedded on my portfolio page here:
https://herculiz.com/portfolio2/)
I do want all other blog posts to show.
Is there a smarter way to do this? Or a way of marking certain posts not to show (except in the slideshow function). Or a different way of telling Nivo which images to pull?
Thanks! Liz
I would like to make the caption called by the custom field “simple_nivo_caption” a link to the post. Where could I add this functionality?
]]>I am using the Simple Nivo Slider particularly for the custom field caption feature. I am trying to figure out how to add a second custom field, kind of a description or sub-caption.
I found this code in simple-nivo-slider.php:
$caption = get_post_meta(get_the_id(), 'simple_nivo_caption', true);
I am thinking I can define the other custom field like this:
$caption2 = get_post_meta(get_the_id(), 'simple_nivo_sub_caption', true);
Assuming this is the right way to go about it I am having trouble finding where the $caption is echoed to create the caption itelf. The code directly below this in the file appears to use it as the title for the image and not for the caption itself. <?php echo $linkhead ?><img src="<?php echo $imgsrc ?>" alt="" title="<?php echo $caption ?>" /><?php echo $linktail."\n" ?>
Any help anyone could offer is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
]]>No matter where I put the short code in my page, the slider always appear at the top of the page.
I wold like the slider to appear with a paragraph of content above it, and the rest of the page content below it, but in my case is always appears at the top. no matter where I put the short code.
]]>Sort of an odd situation. At first I was concerned that it was a problem with loading two copies of jQuery, but I resolved that and my issues persist.
I tried several Nivo Sliders and liked this one the best, but it only works when I have Nivo Slider for WordPress active at the same time.
With both plugins active, Simple Nivo Slider uses the CSS from Nivo Slider for WordPress and possibly JS resources as well, and it functions beautifully. Once I deactivate Nivo Slider for WordPress, however, it breaks. The first problem is that it displays in a div with 0 height. I tweaked the CSS to fix that issue, however, and now all I’m getting is the loading gif.
So the problem, as far as I can tell, is that Simple Nivo Slider isn’t loading the featured images properly unless Nivo Slider for WordPress is active. That’s bizarre, though, because part of the reason that I don’t want to use Nivo Slider for WordPress instead is that it doesn’t even call featured images.
Obviously, the basic issue is that Simple Nivo Slider isn’t loading my featured images and is stuck on the loading gif. I’m just extremely confused because it functions normally in the presence of another superfluous plugin.
]]>I just tried installing the slider on my site and it won’t load — see https://www.fitnessarts.org/new . Any ideas?
