Slides not showing after upgrade to wp 3.6.1

  • Hi,
    my url: https://www.uintalibrary.org/wp/

    I posted in the general wp troubleshooting forum and they suggested posting to specific plugin forums. So here I am.

    From my other post:
    Well, since I upgraded from 3.6 to 3.6.1 the images are not wanting to be added to the media library or when the seem to add ok to the library I put them into my slider and they don’t display in the slider.

    I tried using several different slider plugins (one at a time) and the result was the same– the images didn’t want to display in the slider. I even tried putting in my old javascript-driven slider that runs on my old website and that didn’t work either.

    I’m not sure what details would be helpful in finding an answer, so if I can add anything to my description I’m glad to do so.

    p.s. I don’t have a theme, it is one of my own making not based on anything else.

    btw I was going to note that right now I have two sliders on the home page… the top one has some images in it that were added before things stopped working. I have left those in. The other slider below has images added after my upgrade to 3.6.1 and even though they seem to be going into the media library ok, they don’t display in the slider.

    these are both Meta Slider Lite ver 2.3. That’s the one I was using originally and then now using.

    I’ve also tried SlideDeck 2 Lite ver 2.3.3 and Slideshow ver. 2.2.18

    Also, I tried deactivating as many of my plugins as I could, so right now the only plugins active are my backup and the meta slider. No improvement…

    Thanks,
    qbert

    update: I don’t seem to have any errant <p> tags in the code, not that I can tell anyways. Also, I thought it would be worth a try to switch to another theme. So I went to themes and did a live preview of about 5 other themes, and the sliders remained broken in the live previews. This is with the plugins still deactivated except for the backup and the meta slider.

    Also, in Chrome, I found 9 js errors:

    Hi,

    It looks like you have a couple of issues there, I don’t think they’re specifically to do with Meta Slider.

    It might be worth checking your permalink settings – try switching them to something else then back again.

    Taking this image for example: https://www.uintalibrary.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/wishlistbanner1wp1.jpg (currently giving a 500 error) – if you FTP into your site, can you see that image on your server filesystem?

    Regards,

    Hi Tom,
    Sorry for the delay.

    Thank you for the reply. I changed the permalink settings to default (I had them on post name). Refresh the home page and both sliders are fully working/showing slides. However, the nav breaks and I get 404 page not found errors when trying to go to the other pages. Reversing the changes (permalinks=post name) gives me the original problem again, not all images showing up on sliders, but the nav links for website pages work as expected.

    With the permalink settings on default, the media library/image uploader works as expected, and I can upload images, then open the meta slider and add them to a slideshow and they show up on the web page no sweat.

    ok, regarding the image mentioned in your post: yes, when the permalink setting is on post name, and the image does not show up on the slider on the web page, I can drill down to it and see the image in the file browser window (Windows networking, no need for ftp).

    this is so weird. Why do things halfway work depending on how I set the permalink structure?

    thanks,
    jumpqbert

    Hi jumpqbert,

    Which links aren’t working when you switch the permalink structure? If they’re hard coded links (in content) then you’ll need to update them to match your new permalink structure. Dynamically generated links (like the ones in the menu) should update automatically.

    Regards,
    Tom.
