Hello, I’m wondering if I can add a youtube video to the slideshow ck in wordpress? I’m able to do this on joomla with a blank white placeholder photo as the image, and the youtube url in the video link and it works. This method is not working on wordpress and wondering if it is possible.

Thank you
Keith

Hello everyone. Please give me information. I am wondering if it is possible to change the jump distance?

I have a slideshow with only vertical images. When I set the height to 100% and width auto one only gets to see part of the image. How can I get the complete image?

Edit: I set the height 140% and the width 60% and now it does fit. Is this the best way to do this?

Hi – I’m looking to make a slideshow with no icons or overlays on- I’ve turned them all off in the styles interface, but the navigation icons still appear in some browsers. Is there some way to force them off in all browsers? (appears in chrome, but more importantly on my raspberry pi signage setup where I need no icons) If this can be removed I will definitely want pro as out of all the slideshow solutions CK seems to work the best for me.
Thank you!

Downloaded Slideshow CK, great plugin. Downloaded Mediabox CK to use a lightbox with Slideshow CK, per the instructions. Mediabox CK does not show Title, caption, or description of any images I use in Slideshow CK.

Basically I’m asking, what’s the catch? I submitted a support topic in Mediabox CK with no avail as I am the only one to post a support topic there. So that brings me here.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

when using the editor role, WordPress is showing me an error message that the user does not have enough permissions to create or edit slideshows (while the editor role does have edit_posts capabilities). In my child theme, in the functions.php file, I added the below functions as described in one of the previous threads:

add_filter('slideshow_ck_capability', 'set_slideshow_ck_capability', 10, 1);

function set_slideshow_ck_capability($cap) {
    $cap = 'edit_posts';
    
    return $cap;
}

This only enabled the Slideshow CK menu, I can see all available slideshows, however I can not edit them. I’m using Slideshow CK Pro 1.4 and Slideshow CK Pro Addon version 1.1.2.

Could you please suggest, what could be the issue?

Best regards

The CK button on the editor seems to be incompatible with WP 5.x: no icon is visible; if you use a classic editor layout, you won’t see any text on the page, and the CK button is like a “missing icon”.

Trying to figure out if this is a CSS issue, or a problem with the plugin.

Is only one slideshow per page allowed, or are there no restrictions on that end and it’s probably a development issue?

Two things:

1. Under the Effects tab, I’m trying to save the animation style, but it keeps reverting back to Random

2. Is there a way to turn off all animation styles? I just want the simple forward/back with animation and auto-play off

Thanks, great plugin besides those issues!

Hi,

I just installed your slideshow plugin, but if i put the shortcode in my page, it appears in my page instead of the slideshow, and if i put it in my html as :
<?php do_slideshowck(66); ?>
It shows nothing, i guess it’s because i made a personal theme and probably forgot something but i can’t figure out what it is.

Do you have an idea ?

Plugin doesn’t work in Safari after last update (1.1.4). It’s working fine from Google Chrome, but in Safari from Mac or Iphone in’s just showing loading circle forever. Thanks!

Hi,

One of the users of your plugin contacted me recently about access to your plugin for user without administrator privileges. You made a step forward replacing role ID in plugin menu definition to the ‘edit_plugins’ user capability.
I doubt if someone will grant ‘edit_plugins’ capability to someone except super admin. Take into account that WordPress codex security recommendations page includes a requirement to disable file editing via

## Disable Editing in Dashboard
define('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true);

It’s a very good practice for the live site: as per security, as to exclude sudden site break by sudden mistake in a code. I’m sure that the large part of WordPress site owners follows this requirement.

With constant defined as above ‘edit_plugins’ capability will be replaced with ‘do_not_allow’ by map_meta_cap() function at wp-includes/capabilities.php file, line #397:

	case 'edit_files':
	case 'edit_plugins':
	case 'edit_themes':
		// Disallow the file editors.
		if ( defined( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT' ) && DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT )
			$caps[] = 'do_not_allow';

So a lot of site owners even with ‘administrator’ role and ‘edit_plugins’ capability will not see your plugin menu as access to it will be prohibited.

I can use ‘manage_options’ capability instead if you wish to leave so strong level of protection.

But is there a reason for this very strict restriction for access to your plugin functionality?

A lot of site owners with multiple users wish to allow their editors and even authors to work with slideshow plugins directly. So ‘edit_posts’ user capability is quite enough in this case. Moreover you defines custom post type with ‘post’ capability type and it really users posts capabilities set for its protection.
If some parts of your plugin should be available to admin only, you can move them to the separate page/menu item, like ‘SlideShow CK->Settings’ protected by ‘manage_options’ capability.

Some developers leave the final choice of user capability for users using custom filter. So you may change create_admin_menu() function this way:

function create_admin_menu() {
        $user_capability = apply_filters('slideshow_ck_capability', 'manage_options');
        $this->pagehook = $page = add_menu_page('Slideshow CK', 'Slideshow CK', $user_capability, 'slideshowck_general', array($this, 'render_general'), SLIDESHOWCK_MEDIA_URL . '/images/admin_menu.png');
        add_submenu_page('slideshowck_general', __('Slideshow CK'), __('All Slideshows', 'slideshow-ck'), $user_capability, 'slideshowck_general', array($this, 'render_general'));
        $editpage = add_submenu_page('slideshowck_general', __('Edit'), __('Add New', 'slideshow-ck'), $user_capability, 'slideshowck_edit', array($this, 'render_edit'));
        // for a nice menu icon
        add_action('admin_head', array($this, 'set_admin_menu_image_position'), 20);
    }

Then site owner can replace default user capability for his own needs adding filter:

add_filter('slideshow_ck_capability', 'set_slideshow_ck_capability', 10, 1);

function set_slideshow_ck_capability($cap) {
    $cap = 'edit_posts';
    
    return $cap;
}

Hi,

I was wondering if it’s possible to create a Read More button for the slides. I know it’s not currently possible but any tip to make it? I checked the .camera_link div and tried to tweak it but not sure if that’s the best way.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel.

Thank you for this great plugin!

Is it possible to make the captions responsive? I set it with % values but still on mobile devices and smaller screens they are as big as on large screen.

Thank you for your time and efforts!

Regards,
Christina

With a multilaguage site the display is correct when the language is LeftToRight
but with the language RightToLeft image is not displayed.
have you a solution for that.

Hi,

I’m trying to create a 100% height slider (on mobile devices specially) so my configuration is set to 100% height and auto width and the main container “slideshow” I have it at 100vh but looks like is not working, probably the plugin works different. Is there any way to have a 100% full height?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have been using this plugin since many years ago in joomla and now in wordpress, so far is the best shot when looking for a slideshow plugin. Congrats for that.

Now I have one problem, I have a slideshow created for videos, so I select an image and then paste the youtube url for the video. Checking the website, it loads the image but then the video shows up above the image and even when the video is above the image I have to click twice to watch it.

Any idea?

Hello my site is https://vivbounty.info/thosbartlettsample/

I loved the plugin until I made site mobile friendly and now have an extra row or block of thumbs appearing under images.

Is there a way to fix this? Inspect element shows the problem is here. (div.camera_thumbs_cont)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello.

I moved my site from plesk to cpanel and now i get some kind of error. No slideshow is showing…

https://www.eresmart.com

thanks for great plugin!

I’ve had to get to the point of a new install of your plugin, and when I try to activate it I receive the following error message –

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home4/lakehill/public_html/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-ck/includes/class.input.php on line 560

I got to this point after having had to delete the initial installation after updating the plugin gave me the dreaded White Screen of Death.

After looking at the class.input.php file, the function located near line 560 is:
(lines 557 – 573)

$source = strtr($source, $ttr);

// Convert decimal
$source = preg_replace_callback(‘/&#(\d+);/m’, function($m)
{
return utf8_encode(chr($m[1]));
}, $source
);

// Convert hex
$source = preg_replace_callback(‘/&#x([a-f0-9]+);/mi’, function($m)
{
return utf8_encode(chr(‘0x’ . $m[1]));
}, $source
);

return $source;

Please advise, since I’d really like to keep using this plugin.

Hi everyone!
I have installed the plugin Slideshow CK. I have uploaded photos on it. When I copy the shortcode to a post, to test it, nothing shows up (not even the shortcode). I am kind of new to WordPress, but I really don’t understand the reason why this happens. I have the version 1.0.22 of the Plugin, and the version 4.7.2 of WordPress, that I use on Google Chrome. Here is a link to a post that I have made to test it.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!

Is there a way to put content on top of the background slideshow?
If so how?
I put in the shortcode and then any content I create pushes the background down the page. What am I doing wrong here?

Hello,

Your recent update has broken this plugin on my site. I went to the the developer tag (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/slideshow-ck/developers/) on the www.ads-software.com website to find an earlier version to revert to but there were none. Could you add older versions so I can revert it while this issue is fixed?

This is the error I now get from my browser with the newest version-

(index):431 Uncaught ReferenceError: Slideshowck is not defined

Last update Slideshow CK 1.0.20 gives a fatal error when click in dashboard on All Slideshows:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Slideshowck::check_proaddon_version() in /public/sites/www.lucasgalecop.nl/website/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-ck/includes/slideshowck_general.php on line 20

Hi,

Currently, I see, script is being called inside the <body></body>. Please guide me if there is any alternative available.

For increasing the performance, I am calling all the JavaScripts in the footer. Doing this, meta slider is not getting displayed in any pages.

Thanks
Himani

When creating (or updating) a slideshow, when i click on Save, there is a redirection to

wp-admin/admin.php?page=slideshowck_edit&action=updated&id=113

which is page not found, instead of

wp-admin/admin.php?page=slideshowck_general

This bug is there since a long time ago.

Hi, when viewing on my desktop the slides are great, when viewing on a mobile the slides are cropped? Is there a way to stop the cropping?

Great slideshow plugin, I love all the different options. I am trying to center the slideshow on my page but it continues to align left, how can I get it to center?

Thanks!
