2nd meteor slideshow doesn't work

    I operate a site has a working Meteor slideshow as a header on all pages.
    My problem has to do with adding a second slideshow to the body of the homepage. For the second show, I added Shortcode =
    [meteor_slideshow slideshow=”st-gregory” metadata=”height: 300, width: 200″] to home page and then added the code below to the Style.css in the 2011 child theme

    #meteor-slideshowst-gregory {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 20px 20px 0;
    }

    When I add new slides to the second show, they appear in the header, not in the page body. All the new slides are created as 200x300px before adding.

    What step am I missing?

    I could check on the site if you want to post a link, but it sounds like the header slideshow is using the default template tag and is loading all the slides. If you create a header slideshow, add the header slides to that and specify it in the template tag that you added it should fix the problem.

    Also, for floating the slideshow, there is a new option in Meteor Slides 1.5.1 you can use to change the slideshow alignment if you want to.

    Thanks for replying. The site is gregorianmasses.com/
    I’m unclear about your references to a ‘template tag.’ I have only customized a header.php and style.css files via a child theme. Should I customize the ‘tag template.php’ file? If so, with what coding?

    By template tag I mean the slideshow template tag, the function that is used to add the slideshow to a template file. This is how the tag currently looks in your header.php file:

    <?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>

    There is no slideshow specified, so it is loading all the latest slides. When you are using multiple slideshows, create each slideshow in the admin and specify it so that only those slides are loaded.

    Like, you could create a “header” slideshow, add the header slides to it, and then load that in the header instead:

    <?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow( "header", "" ); } ?>

    Both sliders work great. Thanks for setting me straight.
    Lastly, do you know how to have body text wrap around a slideshow with small images?

    Yes, if you are using Meteor Slides 1.5.1 you can use custom metadata to change the slideshow alignment to float it to the left or right and wrap text around it.
