Upgrade to 4.2.4 has left Image Slider with default image only

I have the same problem. I can not change the image of the slides. Even creating new posts with different images , the one who appears is a still image of an old bike.

To change the slider image just try to change echo call in modality-image-sliders.php file because by default you have the static image to be shown slide1.jpg

I am having the same issue. This is crazy ?? Can’t publish until that bike is gone.

tpavlo- I see the echo call but I am not sure what to change it to so that it shows my featured image.

I found a solution:

I reverted modality-image-sliders.php back to the previous version and it is working.

Go to Apperance – Editor – modality-image-sliders.php and replace all of the text with this: (PLEASE BACK UP YOUR image-sliders.php FIRST IN CASE YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS)

<?php
/**
* Modality functions and definitions
*
* @package Modality
*/

function modality_slider() {
global $post;
$modality_theme_options = modality_get_options( ‘modality_theme_options’ );
$slider_cat = $modality_theme_options[‘image_slider_cat’];
$num_of_slides = $modality_theme_options[‘slider_num’];
$button_text = $modality_theme_options[‘caption_button_text’];

$modality_slider_query = new WP_Query(
array(
‘posts_per_page’ => $num_of_slides,
‘cat’ => $slider_cat
)
);?>
<div class=”clear”></div>
<div class=”banner”>

<?php while ( $modality_slider_query->have_posts() ): $modality_slider_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), ‘single-post-thumbnail’ ); ?>
<li style=”background: url(<?php echo esc_url($image[0]); ?>) 50% 0 no-repeat fixed; -webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover;”>
<?php if ($modality_theme_options[‘captions_on’] == ‘1’) { ?>
<div class=”inner”>
“><h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<?php if ($modality_theme_options[‘captions_button’] == ‘1’) { ?>
” class=”btn”><?php echo $button_text ?>
<?php }; ?>
<?php }; ?>

<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>

</div>
<div class=”clear”></div>

<?php
}

function modality_localize_scripts(){
wp_enqueue_script( ‘slides’, get_template_directory_uri() .’/js/slides.js’ , array( ‘jquery’ ), ”, true );
$modality_theme_options = modality_get_options( ‘modality_theme_options’ );
$animation_speed = $modality_theme_options[‘animation_speed’];
$slideshow_speed = $modality_theme_options[‘slideshow_speed’];
$datatoBePassed = array(
‘slideshowSpeed’ => $slideshow_speed,
‘animationSpeed’ => $animation_speed,
);
wp_localize_script( ‘slides’, ‘php_vars’, $datatoBePassed );
}

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘modality_localize_scripts’ );

hckyman- thank you for the reply. Something is off. I pasted your code and it does not show an image. Instead it all gray with a couple of symbols displayed:

Amaclean23- I think you need to set a featured image for that post. From your dashboard, go to edit the post and at the bottom right of the page, you should see a box to set your featured image. Add an image and it should then work.

My slider was working perfect this morning but now slider 1 is not showing the image, it is gray. I added an extra slider and it shows fine, the problem is with slider 1. I tried to remove it but then slider 2 doesn’t show the image (just gray). This is only happening in Firefox. In IE the sliders are not aligned, they are showing part of the other slider.

I made it work by replacing:
(<?php echo get_template_directory_uri() ?>/images/assets/slide1.jpg)

with:
(<?php echo esc_url($image[0]); ?>)

I have the same problem. But in another site using the same template, never happened. The php echo is ok, replaced the entire code and nothing…
