Quite possibly! I’ve looked at the documentation but couldn’t figure it out. I’ve hacked a workaround (functional but not best practice – copy image file over original, then update database with new URL directly using the fixed post/promotion ID – not ideal whatsoever but works a treat!), but being able to add them programatically would be very useful however I know nothing about hooks in wordpress.

Ha it took a while. Its been a crap week – my isp has upgraded my server and phpinfo() has been crashing apache – took me two days to figure it out ;(

Hmmm I think I fixed it by using the category tag as well – I noticed that when filtering on the posts by the slider name (all promotions page) it was in the drop down list for category – on a hunch I added it to the slider short code and it worked.

Absolutely no idea why its not recognising the “slider” tag though!
