Thanks! No problem. Please keep in mind that updating the slideshow plugin will undo any changes you’ve made to the slideshow plugin’s code.

The simplest way to get around the slideshow’s security measures without compromising your website’s security, is to put your Adsense code right into the code of the slideshow plugin. This requires some knowledge of PHP though.

I think the text slide is most suitable for showing Adsense ads, so open the ‘frontend_text.php’ file in your website’s ‘/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/views/SlideshowPluginSlideshowSlide/’ folder. Replace line 19 in this file (which starts with $description) with the following:

$description = 'your_adsense_code_here';

When adding a text slide to your slideshow it will now always show your Adsense add. If you need text slides for other purposes than showing ads, you might want to add a check to see if the text slide is empty:

if (strlen($description) <= 0 && strlen($title) <= 0)
{
    /* Show Adsense ad */
}
else
{
    /* Show text slide content (place the original line 19 code here) */
}

Shortcodes, JavaScript code, HTML IFrames and some HTML tags are disabled in the slideshow plugin to protect visitors of your website against security vulnerabilities like cross site scripting. This is why you’re seeing the text of your script rather than seeing your script being executed.

Your theme seems to include its own jQuery file: https://pinnaclehomes.ca/wp-content/themes/s5_vertex_response/js/jquery/jquery.min.js

This is considered a bad practice, as WordPress often includes its own jQuery file. In your case these two jQuery files may very well be conflicting. This article explains how to include jQuery in your theme the correct way.

Hi Corrado,

Thank you very much for reporting this validation issue. The problem will be solved with the release of version 2.2.23 of the slideshow plugin, which will be this week or the next.

Best regards,
Stefan

I’m hoping to release version 2.2.23 this week, or the next.

Hi everyone,

The current versions of the slideshow plugin all use ‘admin-ajax.php’ to load their stylesheets, even the static default stylesheets are loaded dynamically. The upcoming version 2.2.23 of the slideshow plugin will fix this, by loading custom stylesheets through ‘admin-ajax.php’ only. This means that the default stylesheets will be loaded statically, without calling ‘admin-ajax.php’.

Loading stylesheets through a CDN is an interesting suggestion. I have placed this suggestion on the project board for future implementation.

Best regards,
Stefan

Thank you very much for reporting this issue. Your fix has been applied in version 2.2.23 of the slideshow plugin, which will be released soon.

Hi K,

Some stylesheet files were missing when the latest version of the slideshow plugin was released and because of this, you’re missing some of the slideshow’s stylesheet files as well.

Reinstalling the slideshow plugin should solve your problem.

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi,

Thank you for posting a link to your website.

I see what you are trying to achieve, but using a background image as border effect on an image slide may not be possible. The slideshow plugin does allow CSS borders to be drawn around slides and images.

The latest version of the slideshow plugin (version 2.2.22) does not attend to your problem. I’m currently unable to solve this issue in the slideshow’s calculation code.

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi Doug,

Sorting will be implemented in version 2.3.0 of the slideshow plugin. However, I have no estimated time arrival on the release of it.

Best regards,

Hi,

It’s unlikely that these validation errors will cause any problems on any browser. I prefer the perfomance advantage over the W3 validation myself.

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi,

The stylesheets for the slideshow are loaded in the website’s footer by default. This approach isbetter for your website’s perfomance, but it will raise some W3 validator warnings.

If you prefer a W3 validated website over the perfomance you gain, you should go to your WordPress dashboard and go to the slideshow plugin’s “General Settings” page. There you’ll find the “Stylesheet location” setting, which you can set to “Head (Top)”. After saving the settings, the slideshow will load its stylesheet in your website’s head.

Best regards,
Stefan

It could be that another plugin is conflicting with the slideshow plugin. Have you tried the insert buttons with your other plugins disabled?

I’m sorry, centering images vertically isn’t possible yet. Currently images are only aligned horizontally.
