I couldn’t say without looking at the code of your theme. Is your theme custom or where did you get it?

hi Jleuze :

I bought that theme from here :
https://templatic.com/ecommerce-themes/wp-store-premium-wordpress-theme

Thanks Steve, I don’t own that theme and since it is commercial I don’t have access to the code, but if you want to email me a login for the site I can take a look through the admin and try to figure it out.

Thanks for sending me the login info Steve. I took a look at the theme in the theme editor but I couldn’t figure out what is dequeuing the scripts for Meteor Slides.

I tested this by enqueuing jQuery in eComFramework’s header.php file, it was removed when I tested the site, so some file deeper in the site is removing them, but I can only access the top level theme files in the theme editor. The way this theme is setup will break many plugins that use JavaScript, so a big thumbs down from me!

It’s not pretty, but I did fix this problem on your site. I manually hard-coded the scripts to eComFramework’s header.php file so that the theme couldn’t dynamically remove them. This should work fine, but you can update the transition or other settings from the settings page, you need to do it in that file’s code. To make sure that you don’t undo these changes by updating the eComFramework Theme, I would FTP into your site and copy the header.php file into your child theme, WP Store.

For a more elegant solution, you would have to ask the theme’s developer to figure out why it is removing scripts for plugins and fix this problem.

I had been having the same problem using the Meteor Slides widget in my sidebar. The navigation buttons/arrows would appear, but they did not function.

The problem for me was that I was specifying the Slideshow name in the widget without using the slug (in my case, I was using the slideshow name “Home Page”, and should have used “home-page”). Once I called in the slideshow using the slug, it worked!

@nwburns In the next version of Meteor Slides, there will be some improvements to the widget, you will be able to choose the slideshow from a dropdown so you don’t have to worry about getting the slug right!
