Piecemaker slider not rotating

@jmdjewelry – I’m having the same problem. My piecemaker slider isn’t rotating with my cleancorp template. Did you ever get it to work?

Have you consulted the support options available through templatesold.com?

Yes, and they just said to be sure all the plugins were enabled for the template, which they are. I’m on day 3 of trying to figure this out and I’m running out of options. The site is allsignsny.com.

Did anyone every solve this problem?

I figured out how to make the PieceMaker Slider work.

You need to modify the file “piecemakerXML.xml” file also. Let me know if you need further help. I did it through FTP as you can’t see this file in the WP admin.

@jondiego that’s great! This has still been an issue for me. What modifications did you make to the “piecemakerxml.xml” file?

Can you post here?

You just modify the file paths to the appropriate path for the images you want to show. make sure those images are uploaded to your server and then refresh your browser.
Here is the Piecemaker Slider in Motion https://www.edpumps.info/

Are you using the cleancorp theme? Where is the piecemakerxml.xml file located in the FTP?

I can’t locate the piecemakerxml.xml file either.

@jondiego – I see you’re using the aquafuse theme and the piecemakerxml.xml file is located at wp-content/themes/aquafuse/piecemakerXML.xml for you.

I’m using the cleancorp theme and it’s not located in the wp-content/themes/cleancorp/piecemakerXML.xml path.

I think I’ve looked in all the other directories but I can’t find it. Ugh. This is such a pain and so time consuming. But thanks for trying to help. Much appreciated.

Ok, let me take a look at the files in the CleanCorp Theme.

Have you tried to modify the file “header.php”?
Look for these lines and modify the image files paths to your file names.

<div class="slider">
      <div id="tabs_news">
        <div id="news-5">
          <div><a href="#"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/slider_img_1.jpg" alt="icon" width="940" height="400" border="0" /></a></div>
        </div>
        <div id="news-4" class="tabs-hide">
          <div><a href="#"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/slider_img_2.jpg" alt="icon" width="940" height="400" border="0" /></a></div>
        </div>
        <div id="news-3" class="tabs-hide">
          <div><a href="#"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/slider_img_3.jpg" alt="icon" width="940" height="400" border="0" /></a></div>
        </div>
        <div id="news-2" class="tabs-hide">
          <div><a href="#"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/slider_img_4.jpg" alt="icon" width="940" height="400" border="0" /></a></div>
        </div>
        <div id="news-1" class="tabs-hide">
          <div><a href="#"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/slider_img_5.jpg" alt="icon" width="940" height="400" border="0" /></a></div>
        </div>
        <ul class="tabs">
          <li><a href="#news-5"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/spacer.gif" alt="picture" width="21" height="22" border="0" /></a></li>
          <li><a href="#news-4"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/spacer.gif" alt="picture" width="21" height="22" border="0" /></a></li>
          <li><a href="#news-3"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/spacer.gif" alt="picture" width="21" height="22" border="0" /></a></li>
          <li><a href="#news-2"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/spacer.gif" alt="picture" width="21" height="22" border="0" /></a></li>
          <li><a href="#news-1"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/spacer.gif" alt="picture" width="21" height="22" border="0" /></a></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>

Only modify the images called “/images/slider_img_4.jpg”

Hope that helps!

It’s past midnight and I have to be at a meeting at 8 am. I will install this theme tomorrow and see if I can figure it out. Let me know if the above solution works or not.

If that doesn’t work, try to modify those same lines in the file called “myhome.php”

That should work. Also make sure you refresh your browser cache. I use firefox. It’s CTRL+SHIFT+R.

Yeah, I named all my images slider_img_1 thru 4 and uploaded them, so I didn’t have to change the path. I checked both files you mentioned and the paths are correct. My images show up, they just don’t rotate on their own. The site I’m working on is https://www.allsignsny.com.

Thanks for all your help.

Has anybody found a way to fix this? Thanks!
