display issues after upgrade to WP 3.8.1

Hello llana, you are using two different themes correct?

Have you tried the default WordPress theme? Or have you tried to use the same theme from the website that works correctly? This is just to test whether the themes has a problem.

Kind regards

Hello Stefan,

I have just seen Ilana’s post and the slideshow has stopped working on my site too! Yesterday evening it just stopped working, has been working fine since it’s download on Monday (3rd March).
When trying to look into why it’s not working I have found I have nextgen gallery as a plugin also, although have not used it. A loading icon is produced with slideshow if nextgen is activated. If nextgen is deactivated there is just a blank space where the slideshow should be. For example on this page: https://rockup-climbing.co.uk/climbing/family-climbing-in-pembrokeshire/
I have had to put a back up slideshow on my homepage for the meantime – as need to have one that is working. But, would really like to use slideshow instead – so any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alec

Hi Alec, if you are not going to use Nextgen plugin can you remove the plugin completely. Then test your slideshow again making sure that you have entered the correct shortcode. See if that fixes your issue.

Kind regards

Thanks for the quick reply. Will try and do as you suggest and will let you know.

Best wishes

Hi all
Yes, I am using 2 different themes. I did a test on the one that was working with the header slideshow, by inserting a slideshow in the body of a test page. It worked perfectly.
The 2 themes are running the same WP version and the same plugin version.

I have just loaded the default 2014 theme and inserted the same slideshow into a test page, and IT WORKED. Clearly there is something wrong with my theme. I’m using Artisteer…will start the long process to find out what I need to do differently.

Thanks everyone for your quick help.

Regards
Ilana

Hi Ilana,

The reason that the slideshow is not showing is that a script it requires, jQuery, can’t be found. This goes for a couple of other JavaScript functionalities on your website as well. Your FancyBox plugin, for instance.

The required script can’t be found because the URL to it isn’t correct. Your theme’s folder is called “The Decorating Warehouse”, while the URL points to a folder called “TheDecoratingWarehouse”.

These URLs are probably defined in your theme’s “functions.php” file. Open that file and look for “TheDecoratingWarehouse” and change it to “The Decorating Warehouse”, where ever it says something like “wp_enqueue_script”, “wp_register_script”, “wp_enqueue_style” or “wp_register_style”. That might solve the problem.

Make sure to make a backup of this file, so that if it goes wrong you can simply restore your website. If your theme was created by someone else and my instructions don’t match your situation, you could contact your theme developer.

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi Alec,

Your slideshow doesn’t work because the slideshow’s script isn’t loaded on the page. This can happen when your theme’s “footer.php” file doesn’t have a <?php wp_footer(); ?> function call in it.

Please read this forum thread for more information.

Best regards,
Stefan
