[Plugin: Meteor Slides] Slideshow Help

  • Good Afternoon, I recently purchased a template from Template-Monster, and I’m trying to get the slideshow to appear the same was the template but I’m having some trouble.

    This is how it looks on the template:
    https://cms.template-help.com/wordpress_32026/

    My version does not have the border, nav buttons, or caption area. I haven’t added the template tag because I wasn’t sure where I was supposed to put it. This is my first day using WordPress so I’m sure a ton of trial and error are on its way, but if anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hi, it looks like that theme was made for an older version of Meteor Slides, 1.3, which has slightly different markup. You might have to update the theme’s stylesheet to use the correct classes.

    I don’t have this theme and can’t look at the code, it would help if you could post a link to the page you are working on. I am guessing that if you add slides the slideshow will automatically be added to the homepage if the site, but you might have to manually add it, it depends on the theme.

    You probably do need to change the slideshow dimensions to fit the theme though, did you do that? In the demo the slides are 859×461.

    I missed an sql document in the theme folder that took care of some of the above. However even with the theme dump, I’m missing borders from the slideshow which I’m trying to fix now. You can check it out here

    It looks like the demo is using a modified version of Meteor Slides. Did the theme come with a copy of the plugin, or does it include a custom slideshow template in the theme?

    I can see that the demo has a div with the class of “slider_area” inside the slideshow, this div is not in the standard version of Meteor Slides. They have also added captions to the slideshow template.

    You would have to find their modified version or create a custom slideshow template with the correct markup.

    That makes plenty of sense. I updated the plugins that came with the theme totally ignoring the “exclude-updates” plugin provided. I did however managed to dupe the look using graphics.

    The only thing that bums me out now is that I can’t figure out how to edit the “About Us” paragraph on the homepage. Is there a backend search in WordPress? or do I have to do some extra investigating?

    Thanks for the help J.

    I would ignore that plugin too, excluding updates is a bad idea!

    Should be a widget, probably isn’t, but I would check that first. Could also be an option you can update in the theme options, otherwise you probably have to manually edit the home.php or some other template file.

    I’ve been searching and still can’t find an editable field for that particular blurb. Not sure what to do at this point besides move on to other pages. At any rate, thanks for all your grand assistance.

    No problem, I would try using something like Notepad++ to search all the files in your theme for some of the text from the blurb.
