Slider Not Working on Custom Theme

  • I’m using a theme with a custom slider (Nivo), but it broke a couple of updates ago so I moved to Cyclone (and like it much more!). However I’m having an issue right now.

    The theme I’m using is Elegantia
    https://wplegion.com/themes/theme_detail/7

    However I made a child theme that simplifies it. Nothing major; all aesthetic changes and mostly removing widgets, etc.

    I had Cyclone2 working with WordPress but due to some plugins breaking and some other server problems unrelated to Wordpres I’ve nuked the WP install and am starting fresh.

    However, I created a slideshow with the same name as the old one (“mainpg”) and uploaded my theme files, thinking that was all I needed to do to get it to work again. And it does work, but only with themes other than my custom one (e.g. it works with the 2013 theme).

    No JS errors are created upon load. However, using firebug I can tell an entirely different set of scripts are loaded when I use a theme other than my custom child for Elegantia. I.e., it looks like when I have my child theme active it never calls the cycle2 script.

    There simply has to be a simple answer to this that I’m not seeing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    FYI, check out the test page I set up here.

    Note there are TWO sliders on the page, those are not 2 images from the same slider. The slider stays on the first slide and doesn’t do anything thereafter (the top slider has nav arrows, the bottom does not, neither have the dots beneath the slider).

    I think the problem could be the theme using an old version of JQuery (1.5). However, I’ve tried commenting out the calls to that as well as deleting ALL the .js files in the theme’s /js/ directory to no avail.

    Further info:

    I’ve narrowed it down to the cyclone-2 .js libraries not being loaded. I copied/pasted this into my header.php in my child theme and it worked:

    <script type='text/javascript' src='https://janeryder.com/wp-content/plugins/cyclone-slider-2/libs/cycle2/jquery.cycle2.min.js?ver=2.7.6'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='https://janeryder.com/wp-content/plugins/cyclone-slider-2/libs/cycle2/jquery.cycle2.carousel.min.js?ver=2.7.6'></script>

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://janeryder.com/wp-content/plugins/cyclone-slider-2/js/client.js?ver=2.7.6'></script>

    Anyone know why these wouldn’t be called when I simply insert the php code generated by the slider?

    Hello Brucenstein,

    The default option to load the script is in the Footer. You can go into the Settings in the WP Admin page for Cyclone Slider 2 and click the rollover to switch it so it loads in the Header. No need to copy and paste the code yourself!
