    $counter = 1;
    while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
?>
<span title="<?php the_title() ?>" class="<?php echo $counter; ?>"><?php  woo_get_image('image','70', '50','thumbnail',90,get_the_id(),'img'); ?></span>
<?php $counter++; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="shelf-title">&nbsp;</div>
</div>

<?php
    $counter = 1;
    $slider_height = 270;
    $slider_height = get_option("woo_carousel_height");

	while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;

?>

    <div class="slide slide-<?php echo $counter; ?> slide-full">

        <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php _e('???? ???????',woothemes); ?>" class="open"><?php woo_get_image('image','595', $slider_height,'full',90,get_the_id(),'img'); ?></a>
        <div class="slide-content slide-content-<?php echo $counter; ?>">
            <div class="slide-content-height-<?php echo $counter; ?>">
                <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
                <p><?php echo strip_tags(get_the_excerpt(), '<a><strong>'); ?></p>
            </div>
        </div>
        <?php // woo_get_image('image','100', '75','thumbnail',90,get_the_id(),'img'); ?>
    </div>

    <?php 

    woo_get_image('image','595', $slider_height,'full-mask full-mask-' . $counter,90,get_the_id(),'img'); ?>

<?php $counter++; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

  • Which slideshow or featured gallery plugin are you using? Did you check compatibility of such plugin in WordPress Plugin repository? If not compatible with current WordPress version in your install, then there is the probability that it would not work.

    it’s a plug in with the theme

    how can i know what feature plugin is that ?

    You see there would be so many reasons why the code is not working. One of best people to ask then is the theme author – if the slideshow feature is part of the theme. Or search in Google for issues regarding the slideshow of your theme. Based on some code I see above you are using a Woo theme. They have free support for paid themes.
