Problem with built-in slider

You’re getting a 500 error on fetching an image, which suggests to me that there’s other bad stuff going on with your site

GET https://mandl.net/wp-content/themes/frisco/images/dotted.png 500 (Internal Server Error)

If you can solve that, it may solve your other problems. What shows up in the error logs for your site?

I’m a little out of my depth here, so thanks for helping and sorry if I misunderstand any of your questions.

This is the most recent error in the WP log:

[01-Aug-2016 15:17:55 America/Denver] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: imagick: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20100525
PHP compiled with module API=20131226
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0

and this one from the theme’s log:

[26-Jul-2016 08:08:41 America/Denver] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home1/mandlne1/public_html/wp-content/themes/frisco/index.php on line 1

Try enabling debugging:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WP_DEBUG

enable both WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG and let’s see if anything shows up in wp-content/debug.log

Most of the errors in the debug log are the following for different functions but the same line of code:

[01-Aug-2016 21:44:36 UTC] PHP Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget in WooSlider_Widget_Attachments is deprecated since version 4.3.0! Use

__construct()

instead. in /home1/mandlne1/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3

718

It looks like <pre>__construct()</pre> is already being used in functions/php at that location.

that’s a notice, not a hard error.

There are also these two:

[01-Aug-2016 21:44:37 UTC] PHP Strict Standards: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, non-static method sidebar_generator::init() should not be called statically in /home1/mandlne1/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 525

and:

[01-Aug-2016 21:44:37 UTC] PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method sidebar_generator::get_sidebars() should not be called statically in /home1/mandlne1/public_html/wp-content/themes/frisco/framework/inc/sidebar-generator.php on line 52

Everything else is a notice.

I can see that the slider is there on your home page, but whatever activates it is missing. This all seems to be baked into your theme. You may want to hire a developer to see if it can be fixed.

The slider on the homepage is from a standalone plugin (Meta Slider). I’m honestly not sure which slider the theme is trying to call.

Thanks for your help.

OH,well, meta-slider is well supported. Have you asked them?

After further investigation, I believe the Frisco theme comes packaged with an older version of Flexslider. For some reason the javascript for that plugin is not loading. The theme also comes with a version of Revolution Slider, which is giving me the same problem when I try to use that instead.
