Hi
Thanks for a great plugin.
I have a problem with the fade effect in IE. It looks fantastic in both Chrome and Firefox, but in IE the fade effect looks strange – as if a dark/black image is put between my 5 custom images. Any ideas on what is causing this?
show me link where you added this plugin so i can give you reply…
It turned out to be a problem with png files. When I changed the images to jpg it worked perfectly.
I found out that I need transparency in the images, so here I am again. The site is not live yet, so I am sorry I can’t send you the link.
The fade transition is not smooth in IE8 when using transparent PNGs. I tried using tranparent GIFs but that is even worse. Is there a known bug with transparency?
I create the images using Aviary Phoenix, but I don’t see how that should effect the result.
What should I do if I only want to display the title (an not the text) of the news? Excuse my bad english.
if you know programming then open content_slide.php in a editor this file is inside the “content-slide” folder.
search for following line
and just add // in front of the wpcs_content
like
just for now. In next release you will get a option to hide text.
great plug in, i’m having a problem getting it centered. it keeps showing up to aligned left. what am i doing wrong
Thanks for this… Been looking so much…
I use the twenty ten theme from WordPress and this slider. I can’t see the menu. The images are on top of the menu. Any idea on how to change that ? something with z-index ?
Yes, z-index issue. i think you already solved it.
I am having the same issue with twentyten theme and this slider hiding the dropdown menu. How was this issue solved? I am under the impression IE7 doesn’t support z-index.
send me link of your website where you added this plugin so i can help you!
Hey just wanted to say thanks for this great plugin. I’m in the process of customizing it and only complaint is the limitations on the content_slide.php css availability. it would be nice to be able to place custom thumbnails to replace the little white boxes. I’m banging away on it, if I come up with a patch to make it work I’ll post my findings.
Great work, almost exactly what I’m looking for to highlight my work.
can you explain more what you didn’t liked about this plugin.
Here is an example. This is my portfolio site and as you see, I made a background image that serves the thumbnails and then modified the css to show a transparent box over the active thumbnail. The images in the top are just placeholders. What would be nice would be to add thumbnails from the wordpress admin tool you provide with the plugin so they show up like mine. My version is not scalable because everytime I want to add a new image I have to replace the bg image in the navigation… too much work, should be dynamic.

Still, like I said your plugin is one of the best I’ve seen and as close as I can get to what I’m looking for, hope this helps!
I am trying to add the slider to the “Free Tour” Page (or any page for that matter) of my blog. No matter where I put it in the .php files, it doesn’t work. Can you help?
please advise where to put the code?

Any possibility of setting the link on the image to open in a new window? Like target=”_blank”?
Hi-
I’m new to all of this coding stuff but I’m trying to get Slide on only the header of my home page. When I try to input it on home.php, it’s either too high, too low or it messes the whole page up where it won’t work at all. Where exactly should I input the coding?
Thanks,
Shawn
Shawn, send me link where you added this plugin. so i can give you suggestion how to add slider.
Good plugin, but why on fade effect the navigation doesn’t work ?
for fade effect both prev-next and bottom button navigation is not available.
This plugin looks great and I’ve had no issues setting it up, but I notice an issue with it specifically in IE8 – when you watch the slow loading of the images in rotation it pushes the navigation bar down to allow for the height of all three images, and the navigation bar won’t move back up until you hover over it. You can see the effect at http://dressedbylena.com – any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Great plugin! I just have one question. everything works great except that the my menu is below the slides. Is there anyway to get them to be next to each other without the gaps.
Thank you
The navigation buttons don’t show up even though I have them enabled.
Hi thanks for the plugin it looks great, and far easier and with better instructions than others I have tried.
However the problem here is with my limited ability I am sure!!!!! try as I might i just cant get it centered, not sure if its z index issue or align or something else problem is I am very new to css and so am having to look up then double check everything I try so its driving me crazy. I not it would take someone with knowledge seconds but that certainly is not me. my site.

Once again many thanks for the plugin J
Snilesh hi, I left a query last night, today at some point I noticed a little
and now I,ve just been in and my slider looks really nicely formatted?
Was that you or did an angel fix it? ha ha
I only ask as really dont know if it was you as just been through your comments and I cant find mine from last night?
Can you let me know please.
PS thanks again whatevers going on looks great
no i didn’t updated any version of the plugin. the problem might be at your end.
Hi there. Thank You very much for this lovely plugin. I use it for my website. However, I still don’t know how to only show one imageat a time. Mine shows several images. I tried to change the square per width, but no luck.
One more thing, is it possible to let the user determine the maximum width of image and let the plugin maintain the height ratio?
Thanks
Hi.
I have an issue with this plugin in IE7. The image appears to move so that the left hand side of the image starts in the center of the screen. Can you help sort this out?

I find that when I set it to FADE only effect, the navigation butttons dissapear. Why is this?
When I set it to ALL COMBINED, they appear again. Anyone why know?
navigation’s are not available in fade effect.
I just installed this plugin on the homepage of my BuddyPress installation and everything works well except the navigation buttons underneath the slider. The boxes work perfectly, but for some reason the numbers only start to display for Image #3, 4, 5, or 6. Numbers 1, 2, and sometimes 3 don’t display. I’ve just disabled the navigation buttons for now, but it would be nice to have those working.
which effect you selected?
great job, thank u.
but when i try to resize the slider in the admin, it doesn’t work, im must change the value in contentslide.php
Can you add alt tags to the images and if so where?
Is this plug-in SEO?
if I choose fade effect, the image text does not appear. How can I fix it?
overlay text,heading and navigation are not available in fade effect.
I will use in my websites, no doubt!
Thank you for this precious wp plugin.
This plugin is great – works exactly as I’d hoped right out of the box.
However, one small problem: In the Image X Text and Image X Heading boxes, characters like apostrophes are escaped – and the \ appears in the slider. Every time I save the slider, it adds another \. I can strip them out, but there will always be at least one \ before an apostrophe.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!
thanks for describing that bug. bug is removed in version 1.3.7
Just a helpful hint that these can also be removed by inserting the HTML code for the apostrophe instead the apostrophe itself. I’ve seen this happen on other plugins and this solution has worked every time.
“\” problem is already solved.
Hi,
Nice plugin and your attention to it is appreciated, but I noticed recently that you added alt=”image_src” to the images in the html.
Could you either make that editable for the whole plugin or just leave it out altogether? It’s kind of ruining my SEO..
Thanks,
Phil
Ok , today i will change that in next version .
Thanks for the prompt action
Great plugin. I just see one issue:
transctions do not work properly on IE, in chrome and firefox it is working great.
which IE version?
i ve tested on 9 and 8, i’ve also look for another websites that use your plugin with ie, and all they are not working fine. I don’t know if this is a bug from my pc, but just trying to help.
Hi NIlesh,
Thanks a lot for this plugin. Its very useful.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, I am facing a couple of issues.
1. When I use any effect except “fade”, the picture is not within the frame of the slideshow. The slideshow only shows a part of the picture (zoomed in)
2. When I use fade effect, the picture is resized to the size of slideshow frame. However, slideshow stops at the second image (I have 5 images listed in the settings).
Could you please help me out here?
Thanks,
Bharath
show me link of that website where you added this plugin.
Hi Nilesh,
The website is http://www.bangaloreultimate.com
Thanks,
Bharath
check in wp-admin. on the content -slide options page i think you set width=800px.
Yes I did that..I thought that was for sizing it so that it fits in my page..
I am a bit confused – what should the width and height be set to?
If I set it to the real dimensions (4000 x 2000), I have the same problem..only part of the slider appears on the page…
Is the only solution to resize all images to the slider size? I am guessing there should be another way to do it…or I am doing something wrong..
Can you please help ?
Thanks,
Bharath
i didn’t added image resize options as i dont want too many scripts added to the plugin. As this is a featured slider most of the users create images with same dimensions like the actual slider width height.
how to do that slider consistent with the wc3 validator?
I have a problem with: “document type does not allow element “h4″ here; missing one of “object”, “applet”, “map”, “iframe”, “button”, “ins”, “del” start-tag”
btw. this slider is THE BEST
check html added through other plugins. my plugin don’t have
“object”, “applet”, “map”, “iframe”, “button”, “ins”, “del” start-tag” tags inside plugin html.
You have h4 inside a span – content_slide.php – which will not validate.
How can I fix it ?
Hi! First one is a bit slow ^^ (maybe it’s website itself), but I’m really fond of second version of plugin – it’s cute ^^b
Hi – plugin looks great – but it I’m not seeing anything in the page after I enter the code into the PHP.
Plugin is active & I’ve tried putting the code into the page.php several times but it seems to be stripped or non existent and nothing is showing up.
How install to blog
follow instructions to install
Hi Snilesh,
I’m having a similar problem to others, the stacking image problem.
I’m using a theme called Simplo.
The is there, right before however there is a lot more code after it.
code plus a menu section before the end of the header.php code.
The theme also comes with the Pretty Photo Lightbox plugin built-in, maybe could that be the problem? The Javascript for this is located right before the
So it goes:
blah blah
blah blah
<body >
body code continues to bottom of header.php code then continues again on page/index.php
Any ideas?
show me link of your website where you installed my plugin.
what would cause the images to link to the wrong link? instead of http://www.domain.com/post its going to http://www.domain.com/blog/post
I suspect the wordpress MU that i had set up, and attempted to undo, may something was left undone, but I wanted to check here first to make sure that theres nothing i can easily change in the plugin
I’ve just sent you the URL & a message through your contact page. Tnx.
Thanks Nilesh,
That fixed the problem. The email I entered is working fine, actually could you please remove it from your last comment so I don’t get lots of spam there.
Thanks again, I really appreciate the speed at which you are able to fix these problems. Excellent support and a great plugin too by the way!
Yes comment is removed
Hello greetings from Colombia. My respect for his work is very good!
Only one concern: when I say I have no problem custom image works perfect, but when I select a category does not leave the images, here a sample test page: http://www.dominicanomontreal.com/wp/

Hola un saludo desde Colombia. Mis respetos por su trabajo es muy bueno!
Solo una inquietud: cuando le digo imagenes personalizadas no tengo problemas funciona perfecto, pero cuando selecciono una categoria no sale las imagenes, aqui un ejemplo de la pagina de pruebas: http://www.dominicanomontreal.com/wp/

do you have posts in that category with images? you must have at least two post in that category with images added using the “Featured Thumbnail”
NOW WORKS PREFECT. SUGGEST FOR NEXT VERSION THAT CHOOSE CATEGORY NOT APPEAR TO BE REPEATED IN THE INDEX, ANY IDEA TO SOLVE THIS? THANK YOU VERY NICE
Is there any way to use an image map on any one of the images in the rotation?
not.. now can you give more details. so i can note down for the next version release
This plug in is pretty cool and thank you so much for creating this. I am not versed in php however is it possible for you to stick a target option into your next version? Right now if you click on the slate it’s keeping it in the same window so this is for the option should we wish to go to a new window. And also about the SEO friendly version, when might that be ready?
Thank you very much
It will be available in next plugin version.
You rock thank you! Already implemented!
