Upgraded to 3.0.2 and now slides are gone

Hi @hstb. Are you able to create a new slider, or add slides to an existing slider?

Hi, i have the same issue as well. i even tried rolling back to version 3.0.1 and the slideshow wouldn’t re-appear. i’m able to add new slides to the existing slideshow, and create new a slideshow. but the new slideshow would not appear as well.

I figured the issue lies in the Template Function PHP code. the slideshow would appear if i used the shortcode and “echo do_shortcode” on the template.

Thanks for that! That fixed it for me. Would be nice to continue using the template function PHP code though.

@julian no problem. hope it helps everyone facing this issue right now, until @matthewruddy fixes it in the next version.

Hey guys, what template tag were you using previously?

Hi @matthewruddy. I’ve been using “if ( function_exists( ‘easingslider’ ) ) { easingslider( ID );”.

Looks like you’ve fixed it in version 3.0.3. Thanks so much for the quick fix. i’m reverting to the original function.

Was previously using <?php if ( function_exists( "easingsliderlite" ) ) { easingsliderlite(); } ?> but switched to the newer template tag. Works great! Thanks for the quick fix.

Thanks for letting me know guys. Great to hear it’s all resolved now ??

I just got an email from a client about the missing slideshow on his site, after I updated to Version 3.0.3; what helped was that I had two pages on his site with with working sliders that used a shortcode, e.g. [easingslider id=”1929″]; whereas the home page used the drag-and-drop slider widget, which doesn’t seem to work. Please advise if/when you have a fix for the widget method; the shortcode method seems to work fine. THANKS!

I have had a lot of trouble with these most recent updates. At first the slider vanished entirely, but then I tried again today and the update seems to be working with 1 of my 3 sites:
https://wingedariela.com/

But in these two the 3.0.3 slider was shifted to the left:
https://soazseniorpride.org/
https://hansonfilm.org/

So I have rolled back the above two to the previous version (2.2.1.1).

Being a big fan of Easing Slider, I’ll just wait it out until the kinks get ironed out. ??

After updating several sites earlier today by using the [easingslider id=”<id>”] method (where they were not showing after the 3.0.3 plugin update) I still have one site that has about 10 Easiing Slider instances and none of them work any more; I tried both the [easingslider id=”<id>” approach, and the embedded php method, and neither work. Any suggestions? Here’s the home page: https://www.outdooriq.org/ … which now just shows:

The slider specified (ID #851) could not be found.

… and another page (among 9 others with sliders):

https://www.outdooriq.org/books-and-products/ultimate-fishing-guide-just-for-kids/

… that now shows:

The slider specified (ID #913) could not be found.

Any suggestions? MANY THANKS in advance!!! ??

Thanks for all the information guys. A couple of other users have been affected by similar issues. Most of these will (hopefully) be resolved in v3.0.5 which is due for release tomorrow.
