Homepage slider not showing (Firebug shows error -> bug?)

  • Hi,

    the homepage does not show any slider.

    I found here in the forum the instructions:

    Then go to Appearance > Theme Options > Blog.

    In there you’ll find 3 options starting with “Featured ___”. Those relate to the slider. Set count to more than 1 and it will turn into a slider.

    • I have 3 posts, assigned to a category “featured”
    • I have set the theme settings to this:
      https://screencloud.net/v/ms6Z
    • I have set the “reading” settings to “frontpage” -> “latest posts”

    However: no slider is showing at all, just blank white space:
    https://screencloud.net/v/1g4X

    When I set the “featured post count” to 1, then 1 post from this category is showing.

    • I disabled all plugins to avoid any conflicts, but this doesn’t help.
    • I use WP 3.9.1 as multisite installation (blogs in sub-folders).
    • I have a fresh installation in a sub-blog – nothing added except of 3 test postings, no plugins enabled.

    Firebug (Firefox 29.0.1) shows an error:
    https://screencloud.net/v/mMXT

    The source code of this part:
    https://screencloud.net/v/DH1J

    A bug? Any idea?

    (My site is still under construction).

    Thanks.

    Firebug -> display: none:

    In /inc/featured.php, did you change anything such in that file? Try resetting it to the theme’s default file. Looks like you are missing a } sign in the javascript code (probably line 45-48 somewhere)

    In my case I haven’t changed there anything. I disabled all plugins to avoid conflicts and resettet all theme files to the original download after I discovered this, but it hasn’t helped at all.

    Have you seen this screenshot?

    The slider is set to “display: none” and therefor it’s logical that it is not seen – but I haven’t set this CSS nor changed at CSS anything until now.

    I think I see the issue, you use no thumbnails, correct? The slider has a javascript that checks so that the first image is loaded, and then loads the script on document ready instead window load to be as fast as possible. However, if there are no images, nothing will show.

    Here is the solution for that.
