[Plugin: iSlidex] Images Not Showing Up

    I’m having trouble getting iSlidex to work on my home page. I’ve followed all the instructions and checked the support forum, but still no luck.

    I have custom post types for Films and Showreels which should appear in the slider and I suspect that this may be causing the problem … possibly get_posts in islidex.php.

    Here’s what I did:

    I changed the Cache folder permissions to 777.
    Assigned three custom post types entries to a specific category and made a note of the category ID.
    Included specific image references by added custom fields for slidex_slide and slidex_thumb for each post.
    Deactivated Lightview Plus.

    And yet no images appear. My website is still under construction and is best viewed in FF on a Mac – https://bit.ly/c1c1Rh.

    Any idea how I can get this working? Thanks so much.

    Hello!
    If you have populated the selected category with posts that have an image in them (either by simply placing an image in the post, or using custom fields or the Featured Image), then there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be working.
    However the custom fields are islidex_slide and islidex_thumb (with an “i”).
    Let me know if even after double checking the two above conditions, the slider still doesn’t work.

    Thanks for getting back to me Dukessa. I’ve double checked everything and it’s still not working. I got it to work on another website of mine so I’m pretty sure it must relate to the fact that I’m using custom post types instead of regular posts.

    I’ll keep digging on my end.

    Hi Dukessa

    With my limited PHP coding skills I managed to solve the problem. I changed all references to get_posts within islidex.php to include an array for my custom post types so it looks like this:
    get_posts((array('post_type' => array('post','films','showreels'))),'numberposts='.$numpost.'&cat='.$catid.'');

    It’s not an ideal solution since this file will the overwritten with subsequent updates to your plugin, but at least it’s working for now. I’ll try to come up with a more elegant fix.

    Hopefully it helps anyone else out there that get’s stuck.
