Yay! Keep me posted. Can give you login to dev site if you want to check other plugins.

Ignore that – I’ve installed it in a stripped down site and it loads and activates fine – must be a conflict with another plugin. Cheers.

oh – ignore the social share icons at the top of the page – they’re going! – it’s the addthis icons just above the property name that I’m wanting to get working. cheers.

Hey there. I’ve had to remove it from the production site but you can see it on the dev site here:
darwinholidayapartments.biz/dhadev/accommodation/property?pid=5764

– I’ve just installed the standard plug-in, obviously need to muck around with location and so on but before I do that I need to know it will pass the full URL first. Thanks, let me know how you go.
Cathryn.

Awesome – “creating package now” – I just created an empty wp-snapshots directory as your suggested with 777 permissions, and no more ‘fail’ messages – also seems to have bypassed the Open Base Dir fail message as well. Thanks!

Ta Corey, I’ll give it a go now and post whether it works. Cheers. ??

Hey Corey, thanks for getting back to me. So wp-snapshots – should this have been created by Duplicator when I installed the plugin? And is it just an empty directory? (If so I guess I could just create it and give it the right permissions hey?)
cheers, Cathryn

Thanks heaps Jarret. I think I will go find me a new website developer/support person and see if they can re-code to make it happen. Have a lovely day / night wherever you are.

No, it was my original website developer who did say at the time “it can’t be done” when I asked about changing /?pid=nnnn to property name. I have seen it done on another (competitor / copycat) site but can’t for the life of me figure out how. I can ftp in and change things, but I don’t really know what I’m doing so don’t want to screw things up.

Jarret, just to clarify, are you saying that this can’t be done either through regular “permalink” custom structure, or through something like All In One SEO?

thanks heaps for your help and support btw.
cheers

Hi Jarret,
Thanks for reply. In custom structure I just see /%postname%, which is fine for all the static pages, but not for the dynamically generated pages.

The dynamically generated work like this – customer queries a property, that property has a unique code (say 5575), the template is populated based on the unique code(from data in a MYSQL databased) with information about that property.

I was wondering if in custom structure I could use %H1% or some such, but realise this isn’t a valid permalink tag.

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your reply. I gave up and went with portfolio_slideshow. It achieves reasonably well what I want – see it here: (I’m a newbie too, so I hope posting links isn’t bad!)

You can see I’ve created a slideshow but no arrows ??

But after so many hours of searching and testing, I’m just going to go with this.

Good Luck!
cheers,
Cathryn

Hi Patrick
I am also looking for the same thing – I found a youtube video for embedding a slideshow into a hosted wordpress sites – https://youtu.be/FqdKXQ0bfhY – but not for installed worpress sites. Have you had any luck finding something?
I do this easily with the websites I run using weebly but haven’t been able to find easy slideshow functionality for my wordpress sites. If you find anything please let me know?
thanks ??
