    Hi,
    I have a good basic knowledge of WordPress , not an expert though .
    I made an successful installation on my development environment but can’t figure out how to enable/ configure a slideshow .
    It seems that this plugin has good features .
    No matter how excellent a plugin may be , without detailed instruction manual it will never get it’s target ( to get widely accepted from the community ) .
    Even the FAQ page is very limited for helping a developer , also the link that points to an video-tutorial is broken . .
    My opinion is that this plugin deserves a better instruction manual .
    Looking forward …..

    ps My intention is to make a positive/creative criticism .

    Now I just have to find the proper sizing to make sure the slides tile evenly… unless you know of a better way?

    Thanks!

    Glad it’s working!

    It looks like there is a bit of CSS that is overriding slideshow styles.

    Line 1279:
    #subpage .content ul li

    Line 1274:
    #subpage .content ul

    It’s the margin and padding declarations on each of those that are mis-aligning the panels.

    Damn! I had it all perfect, went into the plugin settings to suppress the panel navigation below the slide, and now all the inline width styles are back … and back wider! I reinserted the slide and manually put in 400 x 300, which is showing up in the shortcode, but look at all the inline widths that I can’t edit. Any ideas?

    <div class=”anythingSlider anythingSlider-default” style=”width: 615px; height: 312px;”>
    <div class=”anythingWindow”>
    <ul class=”anythingSlider anythingBase” id=”slider-224″ style=”width: 1845px; left: 0px;”>
    <li class=”panel activePage” style=”width: 615px; height: 312px;”>
    <div class=”content clearfix”> <img height=”232″ width=”300″ title=”Palisades Park Fitness Factory” alt=”Palisades Park Fitness Factory” src=”https://bigideasolutions.com/fitnessfactory/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Exterior-Pal-Park-FF1.jpg”&gt; </div>

    <li class=”panel” style=”width: 615px; height: 323px;”>
    <div class=”content clearfix”> <img height=”243″ width=”300″ title=”Friends training preacher curls” alt=”Friends training preacher curls” src=”https://bigideasolutions.com/fitnessfactory/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Friends-training-preacher-curls.jpg”&gt; </div>

    <li class=”panel” style=”width: 615px; height: 310px;”>
    <div class=”content clearfix”> <img height=”230″ width=”300″ title=”Ab Chair” alt=”Ab Chair” src=”https://bigideasolutions.com/fitnessfactory/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/male-teen-doing-ab-chair1.jpg”&gt; </div>

    </div>
    <div class=”anythingControls” style=”display: block;”>
    <ul class=”thumbNav”>

    </div>
    <span class=”arrow forward”><span></span></span><span class=”arrow back”><span></span></span></div>

    And the nav buttons when they appear on hover don’t work… I have them selected as Yes in both Appearance and Function settings. I appreciate all your help and will definitely donate to your plugin!

    All of the inline styles are normal. They’re calculated based upon the width/height you declare in the shortcode.

    if you’d like me to take a look, send me a username/password to jacob [at] jacobdubail [dot] com. That email also works for donations ??

    Also, I think if you comment out the css that I referenced earlier, you’ll see the width/height work as planned.

    Better yet, add this to you stylesheet:
    .anythingSlider ul,
    .anythingSlider li { margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; }

    Let me know if that works.

    Thanks! I’ll send you an email with some info…

    Awesome. Glad we could get you squared away.

    I followed the instructions for Using the navigation formatted although mine is embedded in the theme (home.php)

    But it doesn’t seem to work.

    Hi mediatracts,

    I just looked at your site and it looks like the navigation formatting is working great.

    What is working for you?

    -Jacob

    Hi Jacob,

    Sorry it wa really late here in the UK. I had updated the call in the theme file to look like yours in the tutorial video and it didn’t work… Played around with it a bit and realised I didn’t need the qoute marks around true

    Not working code was
    `<?php echo do_shortcode( “[anything_slides navFormat=”true”]” ); ?>’

    Correct code is
    ‘<?php echo do_shortcode( “[anything_slides navFormat=true]” ); ?>’

    Great work on the plugin by the way, just love the video embeds etc

    Nice catch. I’ll update the docs.
