Smooth Slider Not Showing Up At All

Hi,

As the PHP tag is already open before the Smooth Slider template tag, there is no need to put the PHP open/close tag again while adding the template tag. As I can see, you have resolved the problem on your website and slider is running fine now, but this solution would help others.

Best regards,

My homepage is https://roundhousetalk.com I have the same problem and still can’t make it appear on my homepage. I use the same plugin version and WordPress version 3.4.2. Here is my index.php code:

<div id="primary">
			<div id="content" role="main">
			<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_smooth_slider' ) ) { get_smooth_slider(1); } ?>
			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

				<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-above' ); 

				<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>

My smooth slider doesn’t show up.

Hi,

Write the slider id inside a single quote. Here is the example,

<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_smooth_slider' ) ) { get_smooth_slider('1'); } ?>

Let me know if it helps.

Here’s how I did it but still no slider. Did I put it in the right place?

get_header(); ?>

		<div id="primary">
			<div id="content" role="main">
						<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

				<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-above' );
				<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_smooth_slider' ) ) { get_smooth_slider('1'); } ?>
				<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>

Here’s the generated CSS code identified on the slider settings which show me what the slider looks like on the page. Thanks for your quick response as I have been struggling with this for 2 days.

Hi,

Check if the code is inside any IF condition. And paste the smooth slider template tag before the <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

See if you site is using index.php for the front page (verify that by seeing the WordPress dashboard ==> Settings ==> Reading ) page.

i tried it but no luck. below is the code in main index template. i checked the dashboard ==> settings ==> reading ) page and it shows my main page as the front page with no page selection for posts in the static address:

get_header(); ?>

		<div id="primary">
			<div id="content" role="main">
				<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_smooth_slider' ) ) { get_smooth_slider('1'); } ?>

				<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

				<?php twentyeleven_content_nav( 'nav-above' ); 

				<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ) :

Ok, I got the smooth slider to appear on my homepage at https://roundhousetalk.com but I had to use a widget for it on the sidebar. How do I get it to show up on the page body table rather than the sidebar. It looks too big for the sidebar and is cut off. Thanks.

OK. thank u its done ur a man
