Academica theme – skideshow question

  • Hi,
    I just installed the Academica theme. All is well so far except that I don’t see any documentation that explains adding a slideshow.

    I see where the slideshow is enabled and you specify the number of slides. I see where you add slides. But its not clear what the “Slide Options” and “Slide Link” is. What is the syntax and perhaps an example of a “Slide Link”? Is this just a URL such as https://….. ?

    Are these links to JPG files or what?

    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

  • ngstreaming, thank you so much! It worked for me.

    The TimThumb worked. Thanks Wes002!!!!!!

    I installed Timthumb Vulnerability Scanner plugin, went to Tools, Chose Timthumb, then clicked “Scan”. It showed the issue, I checked the box to update, it updated the code and BAM!!!! it worked.

    Got myself a Moxie after that. Wes002 fixed something that otherwise was taking hours of scanning the forums to find answers.

    I was having the same issues with the rotating images on the home page. All you have to do is update the Timthumb code. I also changed the

    wpzoom-functions.php

    as it mentioned in other posts but after updating the Timthumb code I changed the wpzoom-functions.php back to the way it was and it still worked.

    gustavot3,
    What WP version are you using? I’m using 3.3.2, the latest version of TT and adjusted wp-zoom functions and the image doesn’t get included with an error that the image file “is not within the allowed path(s)”. I think it must be the WP version.

    Finally got it figured out. It’s not the WP version but how the host you use handles timthumb.
    If none of the above works, try replacing DOCUMENT_ROOT here (in timthumb.php):

    protected function calcDocRoot(){
$docRoot = @$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

if(!isset($docRoot)){

    with the actual root path in use -for me it was /home/USERID/public_html/ but will be different depending on the host.
