Slideshow Gallery Pro not showing images

  • I’ve been working with the developer of the theme for my website to resolve this issue but he says he doesn’t know what’s wrong nor how to fix my problem so I’m coming here in hopes that someone with jquery and coding experience can help.

    Situation

    1) I’m working on a test server still. The site is not live.
    2) I’ve installed Slideshow Gallery Pro 1.3.2 (and at least 6 different slideshow gallery plugins)
    2) I’ve uploaded the images into a page here: ‘https://biz96.inmotionhosting.com/~stmark11/service-opportunities/world/safi-school-project-gallery/’
    3) When I navigate to the page, there is a space where you might expect to see the slideshow but NOTHING, not even thumbnails appear.
    4) Also, the down arrow images on my menu disappear. The menu continues to function but the dropdown arrows are gone.

    What I’ve tried:

    1) Uninstalling ALL plugins except the slideshow plugin – didn’t change behavior
    2) Activating the default theme – the slideshow works!
    3) In testing, I see that the init.js which calls several different scripts is the issue. If I remove init.js, the slideshow works fine, BUT my homepage slider stops functioning. It’s an EasySlider.js plugin that my theme uses.
    4) I see in Firebug that there are several warnings and a couple of ERRORS when loading this page.

    I don’t know how to troubleshoot this any further.

    Does anyone out there have any clue as to where I might look to resolve this?

    Thank you in advance for any help/advice any of you people smarter than I (which is pretty much everyone!) can provide!

  • I had this same problem with the plugin. For now I only upload the images through the Media Library. Once the images are uploaded you need to use the Attach To area to link the image to the page.

    In a sense this worked out better because if you use the WP Flash image uploader you can upload multiple images instead of one at a time.

    I am trying to get a hold of the Cameron guy anyway because although I’ve paid for a subscription I haven’t recieved my update to the plugin yet.

    re.. my comments

    In other words I created a new page called PhotoGallery and simply pasted this code [slideshow] onto the page.

    After creating the page used the Attache To to link my images to the page.

    Im having the same issue since the newer update, prior to update the slideshow worked fine in several instances on the same site with no issues, now it will not work in one single post on any of my sites, I too have run out of troubleshooting options.

    Older versions of the plugin have other compatibility issues as well (1.1.4 makes the editing toolbar disappear from the post/page editor)

    Can anyone help?

    Well, our problem turned out to be conflicting javascript (inti.js) that came with the theme we are using.

    The init.js was calling a cufon script, easyslider script, and a superfish menu script separately.

    We cleaned up the init.js to look like this and it fixed the problem with the galleries not showing correctly:

    $(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('ul.sf-menu').superfish();
    Cufon.replace('.replace');
    jQuery("#slider").easySlider({
        auto: true,
        continuous: true
    });
});

    I hope this helps someone out there!

    ChristiMc Thanks for the info. Where can I find the init.js to edit? In the plugins editor I see
    slideshow-gallery-pro/js/gallery.js
    slideshow-gallery-pro/js/settings-editor.js
    slideshow-gallery-pro/js/admin.js

    Thanks again!

    Look in your theme directory for the init.js. I don’t know if your theme uses one or not but mine did. Also, it may not be the init.js that is causing your problem but I’ll bet it’s a javascript/jquery conflict of some sort. I’m not coder – I had someone who was take a look at our problem and he found it.

    At any rate, here’s where the init.js is located for our theme:

    The init.js for my theme was under wp-content/themes/THEME FOLDER/js/init.js.

    My theme does not have a init.js file. I am using this plugin on 5 different sites with other plugs. They ALL worked fine regardless of theme BEFORE the update.
    Temporary work around for me and others may be to clear the plugins folder and try to reinstall the old one (Still have a copy)…
