[Plugin: Portfolio Slideshow] Prev/Next not advancing slideshow.

Hi Melissa,
It sounds like you’re doing everything correctly. It’s probably a conflicting plugin, or maybe one of the files did not upload correctly. If you post a link, I’ll take a look.

Regards,
Dalton

I was just testing it to see if it works (my site is so far from being done so I deleted it. But I put it up again, and still I’m not getting the links to work: https://melissagraf.com/experiments

This is the only plugin I currently have activated. So I’m probably doing something weird somewhere along the way!

Thank you for your quick response. ??

Hi Melissa,
I think the problem is with your theme. Most likely, either your footer.php is not being loaded, or if it is, it is missing the wp_footer(); function.

Can you verify that your footer.php has the line

<php wp_footer(); ?>

in it, just before the closing </body> tag?

Ohhh. It is, but I took my footer off the pages because it was driving me nuts. But, footer is back in now and everything is working just fine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

No problem, glad to help! Good luck with the new site!

Hello,

First off, great plugin, thank you for developing it. Unfortunately, I recently changed to a custom theme and the plugin stopped working. At first the images appeared as a list below the prev/next buttons. I followed the steps you’ve provided in another post and the images are no longer listed, only the first image appears but the prev/next buttons are not working. I also followed the steps you’ve provided here to fix non-functioning prev/next buttons but it didnt work.

I’d greatly appreciate your help with solving this problem. An example of the problem can be found here: https://nnmportfolio.com/commercial-photography/holiday-windows-2009

Hi Natasha,
Take a look at your footer.php file – you’ve got

<php wp_footer(); ?>

it should be

<?php wp_footer();?>

That should probably do the trick!

Hello Dalton,

First off, thank you for replying to my inquiry. I apologize for the delay of my response but I didnt receive a notification email to let me know that you responded.

At the time that I posted my inquiry and link, I had tried two fixes which didnt work and it probably led to the code showing as
<php wp_footer();?>. I removed one of the fixes and the images are currently displayed as a list with non-functioning next/prev button and the code in the footer file is currently <?php get_footer();?>. An example can be found here: https://nnmportfolio.com/photography/holiday-windows-2009

I get the feeling that I’m probably overlooking something but I’d greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

Hi Natasha,
The correct code for your footer is <?php wp_footer();?>, not <?php get_footer();?>. That is definitely the problem.

Dalton

Sorry, actually I wasn’t clear. In your index.php file, you do need <?php get_footer();?>. That’s what includes your footer.php template file.

In your footer.php, just before </body>, you need to put <?php wp_footer() ?>.

Hello Dalton,

Thank you again, I overlooked that the difference between the code was wp_footer and get_footer I checked everything and copied in the code where you said I should but its still not working. Just to double check, I’ve tried variations of the following:

Footer.php
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
<php wp_footer(); ?>

index.php
<?php get_footer();?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

The present code:

Footer

<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>

Index
<?php get_footer();?>

Hi Natasha,
That code looks right to me but I’m sorry it’s not working. Did you try reverting to the default (TwentyTen) theme and seeing if the plugin works there? I think the problem has got to be in your theme somewhere but I’m afraid I’m out of ideas.

Dalton

Hello Dalton,

You’re right, I tried one of the default themes and it worked fine so it has to be the theme. I’ll deactive the plugin and add it back in if I create a new theme. I really appreciate that you took the time to try to help.

Thank you,

Natasha
