[Plugin: oik-nivo-slider] Images not showing…

Hi, I’ve only just seen this. I’ll try to reproduce it. Do you still have the problem. Can you give me a link?

I’ve been able to produce something similar if I put 3 sliders into one page. But I don’t get the problem with the twenty eleven theme.

One thing I did notice was:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Arial&ver=3.4.1
but that appears to be a red herring

One reason I was getting the problem is simply a styling problem.

My solution for this was to code the following in the nivo-slider.css file

#slider-1 a, #slider-2 a, #slider-3 a, #slider-4 a, #slider-5 a { display: block; }

I only had 3 nivo sliders in the post but the last one actually displayed was slider-6, indicating the nivo code was called 6 times rather than 3.

It appears that the theme is processing everything twice,or even thrice. When I trace the request with twenty eleven I only find 99 instances of nivo in the output. With Business Lite it’s 237.
With twenty eleven the_loop is called twice, with Business Lite (BL) it’s 3 times. For the_post the figures are 2 and 9.
It will be interesting finding out what BL is doing!

OK, I analyzed the Business Lite problem and reported my findings on their forum
https://cyberchimps.com/forum-topic/the_content-being-called-too-many-times-for-gallery-format/

I somehow doubt that the problem I found is remotely similar to the problem originally reported.

A minor update before I close this.
The Cyberchimp team replied that they were reworking the Business Lite theme.

Someone else reported similar problems on the oik-plugins website. I tracked this down to other pieces of jQuery code that were failing, preventing the nivo slider jQuery from completing its work.

I haven’t heard anything else, so closing as resolved.
